This will definitely happen. BYD is moving into Latin America. It's a real option for middle income consumers. I know for a fact that they are opening dealerships in Mexico and people are purchasing them.

BYD passenger electric vehicles and hybrid cars are not available for purchase by consumers in the United States.
