A BYD spotted in California traffic set off a scramble to explain how it's on US roads
What happened?
After a driver shared a photo of the vehicle on the r/ElectricVehicles subreddit, the post quickly expanded into a larger discussion and debate about why Chinese EVs sometimes appear locally even though buying one in the U.S. is still difficult. In the post, one user described seeing the car at a stoplight. "So, I was waiting at a red light in Placentia, California, when I saw a BYD in person!" they shared along with a photo of the find. "I thought it was illegal to own (or even drive) one of these in the US. How is this possible?" The most common explanation from commenters was that the vehicle was likely in the U.S. on Mexican registration, where BYD sells vehicles.
