They are expanding in Europe rapidly, and in China of course.

In the Netherlands they are partnered with a local green electricity provider (Vattenfall) and Shel for their charger network. Shell owns the most petrol stations along the highways, so they will have their chargers there for sure.

I'm expecting the tariffs on Chinese EVs to be rolled back in EU after the US tariffs. They might want BYD to open local factories, like NIO is planning to do.

They want to pair that with technology transfers, similar to how China forced other companies to do technology transfers when opening factories.
