China’s All-Electric Fleet Is Entering Europe. And the timing is ideal.

Tesla has another rival in Europe.

Days ago, BYD announced the first shipment of 100 all-electric BYD Tang SUVs had left the Port of Shanghai on June 7, bound for dealerships in Norway near the end of this summer, with 1,500 slated for delivery before 2022, according to a press release from the company.

This represents a substantial step for EV manufacturers in China, as BYD forges a path other companies, like Xpeng, Aiways, NIO, and SAIC’s MG intend to follow.
