BYD Targets Japan’s Kei-Car Market with New All-Electric “K-Car”

 

 

 

 

 

h0ngcom thinks: The EVs Queen and The Electric Explorer, we will miss you. Not kidding. That channel changes its name again. And its car videos also not limited to EV now.

Viking can refer to an explorer, as the Vikings were skilled seafarers who explored vast areas of Europe, the North Atlantic, and even North America. (AI Overview)

For economies of scale, I think this car will be available in many countries, not limited to Japan only like the Japanese-brand's Kei Cars. 

In China there are still demands of "Mini EVs."

I think the first-launchs in Japan is to create good images that it is a car that meets Japanese standards

However, h0ngcom thinks this car's side view looks too much like Honda N-Box/Suzuki Spacia/Daihatsu Tanto. H0ngcom thinks it is too similar to them. Japanese people may see BYD as a Chinese copycat company again. 

And I guess the Japanese automakers may have some gentlemen's agreements, so their cars can be look similar. But BYD is not a Japanese so I think it won't have any of them.

h0ngcom's thoughts : 

Now is not the time to use EV yet (except short distance travels). Charging is still very difficult. (Refueling is very simply, especially in Thailand where gas stations have staffs, and a staff serves oil to you.) Thailand's too hot weather also plays a part in making people don't want to wait for charging. 

Very fast charging technology (1000+ kW charging power) is not yet widely available in Thailand, both public chargers and supported vehicles. In the future, the unsupported EVs are outdated (and also not as reliable as Japanese analog (fuel) cars).

In this time, PHEV and EREV are still be the answers for people who wants EV mode but still don't want the long-time charging.

This is another time when Japan has influenced Thailand! A Japanese artist films music video in Thailand, making some Thai people feel satisfied with Japan.

ทำไม BYD SEAL 5 DM-i ถึงขายได้แค่ 42 คัน

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why did the BYD SEAL 5 DM-i only sell 42 units (in Thailand)? 

h0ngcom's thoughts : Yaris Ativ is the best in segment, so no reasons to buy a Chinese car or even another thing in the same segment.

In the future, more Japanese EVs will be officially available in Thailand, making no reasons to buy Chinese EVs anymore.

Mazda 6e vs BYD Seal: is Mazda finally taking EVs seriously?











Spoiler: She doesn't decide who is the winner. 

H0ngcom thinks Mazda, as a Japanese car company, is much more trustworthy.
