Australia’s Finally Going To Get An Electric Car That’ll Apparently Cost Well Below $35K

Love the idea of electric cars but also love the idea of being able to afford to eat dinner? Well, you’re in luck because a Sydney-based company reckons it will soon launch an EV that is well below the $44,000 minimum it’ll set you back currently.

According to the Australian Financial Review, a new VW Golf-sized hatchback by BYD is set to be imported by TrueGreen Mobility as early as next year, with CEO Luke Todd confirming that it will be priced “well and truly sub-$35,000.”

yep....BYD is a car company that also manufactures it's own batteries.

Their batteries are state of the art and half the price of tesla batteries.

That is where the biggest cost saving is with BYD vehicles.

Our home has 105 kwh of BYD Lithium batteries (for under $48k.)

Try doing that with Tesla Powerwalls.
