rewrite this title BYD Runs Into Big Problems At Home – Nanalyze

Mexican cab drivers don’t buy electric vehicles because they suddenly care about the environment. In most emerging markets, the lowest hanging environmental improvement fruit is eradicating the pervasive litter strewn about. That’s an education problem. Taxi cab drivers in places like Brazil are adopting electric vehicles because they’re cheaper to power and require minimal maintenance. Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts and don’t need oil changes. No more waiting in queues at the petrol station because of problems in the Strait of Hormuz. Top it off with extremely low entry-level pricing, and the electric vehicle is much more than just a way to signal that you care about the environment. It’s now becoming the preferred mode of transportation for people with little means. That’s precisely what BYD $BYDDY – the largest producer of electric vehicles in the world – plans to capitalize on.
