Many other EV manufacturers sell their cars for twice what its priced in China because they can. BYD for instance has a huge profit margin in Europe.

BYD prices based on what it can get away with, its why in thailand, which has a BYD factory to avoid price hikes, sells the Dolphin for ~16000$ when its closer to 14000$ in china. its why countries with less friendly charging networks and import taxes against china like Vietnam have a hard time penetrating said market.

prices of BYD vehicles in china though are usually never the reality for countries outside of china, hence why people tend to have skepticism in article prices for BYD
