    A likely big reason is it being a Chinese brand. Politics change here every 2 years, even if current administration lifted tariffs which they won’t there is no guarantee that they won’t be backup in few years. It is not worth investing here for BYD right now.

    Why do you think BYD would capture the EV market easily? Significant barriers to entry.

    US Protectionism of our auto industry. Tesla was the only US automaker willing to take an all or nothing approach to electric vehicles and now we have to protect the other automakers from going bankrupt as they slowly transition from ICE vehicles over to EVs.
