I was curious so I looked it up. The 2024 Corolla starts at $21,900 in the US. The cheapest '24 I could find was the Nissan Versa at $16,390.

Of course, neither of these are electric. But they are also well known makes in the American market.

TCO. Corolla + gas > BYD + electric.

Plus all of the other costs such as repairs, factored with life span.

If I have to replace a BYD every 3 years at $15k, a Corolla that lasts 15+ is going to come out ahead.

Minus resale.
