Bear in mind BYD said the seagull was china only and is now going to be sold in EU and then there are a number of RHD countries especially Thailand, UK and Australia it may not be a hopeless hope.

Good option for a small car for our holiday home in Spain. I was waiting for the Lancia EV, but so far Lancia have only released a small truck =SUV as a hybrid

Ireland, Cyprus and Malta would like a word about right hand drive too

That's a bit of a bummer I like the Seagull

The reason we don't have more than 5 percent of the population in Sweden driving a pure EV is simple, it's still fantasy high prices. You could purchase a Suzuki Ignis here, brand new for like 14-18K usd, take it and drive 600 km. But the absolutely cheapest EV here has an range of 200 Km in the summer and cost almost 3 times as much. Top that up with slow charging and 1000 different charge-station owners that all want to cover their own base with prices often topping that of its Ice counterparts, like gasoline - and you have a no-go. I just don't see it happen.

Surprised they haven't done a left hand drive yet. Many asian countries drive on the left. India, japan, indonesia, malaysia etc... pretty big market.

It will have to compete (in France) with cars that can benefit from 4k to 7k of cost reduction. So it might work if it's 7k cheaper than a EU built car (eC3 at 23k euros, R5 expected around 25k, ...).

by the way dacia spring is 20k euro now ,and because is made in China,potential tariff will add to this car in EU market follow the US，so maybe no more cheap EV in euro market

That's wrong. Dacia spring >14k € but it is a very bad car. Tariffs do not protect Germany, on the contrary, it is another means of destroying this country. The sales market in the Asian region is now more important and tariffs would be counterproductive for the automotive industry

If it comes to the UK (not confirmed), it needs to be £15k like the entry level Dacia Spring. At that price, it will be a far better car for the same price and might get some traction. If it’s 318k to £20k in the UK I still think it’s going to struggle as there will be cars like the Citroen E-C3 and Renault 5 to compete against.

Ireland is left hand drive…. And we are definitely not the UK. (You have said that in a few videos now…. I let the others slip…lol ) You are better that this Sam. ;-)

At 1:18 in the video there is a right hand drive car. And the you said they don’t produce a right hand drive version. Another model?

Americans would like a bigger battery for increased range, not necessarily a bigger size car of the seagull, which would decrease range.

Most countries in Asia drive on the left, so hopefully, BYD will produce RH drive seagulls. 🎉

On a point of information, Britain is not the only RHD country in Europe. Malta, Cyprus and my homeland of Ireland are also RHD countries.

Even 30% more expensive than china is still cheaper than the car price in indonesia... almost every cars are doubled the price here

1:01 Ireland, Cyprus, & Malta are all RHD

Will it ever come to Australia?

Dacia Spring is 20k euro. I think the whole EU must follow the France's example and calculate the CO2 emitted during the whole production and transportation process.

18 000 EUR is too expensive, 12 000 EUR would be a good price. No one will buy BYD for the same money as Renault 5 or Dacia, because BYD doesn't have repair shops around Europe and no one knows how to repair it.

I just wish the UK would convert to driving on the right...! Why we stubbornly stick to our antiquated right-hand-drive cars is beyond me...
