The     The car, launched last year Chinese automaker BYD, sells for around $12,000 China, but drives well and put together with craftsmanship that rivals U.S.-made electric vehicles that cost three times much. shorter-range version costs under $10,000.

“The     “The Western markets did not democratize EVs.

Company     Company President Terry Woychowski, former chief engineer General Motors’ big pickup trucks, said the car “clarion call” for the U.S. auto industry, which years behind China designing low-cost EVs.

After     After the teardown, Woychowski, who has been the auto business for years, said was left wondering U.S. automakers can adjust. “Things will have change some radical ways order able compete,” said.

There’s     There’s single miracle that explains how BYD can manufacture the Seagull for little. Instead, Woychowski said the entire car, which can 252 miles (405 kilometers) per charge, “an exercise efficiency.”
i_1   index   Content (page_01.htm)   web_search

Higher     Higher U.S. labor costs are part the equation. BYD can keep costs down because its expertise making batteries — largely for consumer products — that use lithium iron phosphate chemistry. They cost less but have lower range than most current lithium-ion batteries.

“By     “By having that all in-house and vertically integrated, there’s incredible advantage that they have,” Woychowski said.

BYD     BYD designs all aspects its vehicles with cost and efficiency mind. For instance, the Seagull has only one windshield wiper, eliminating one motor and one arm, saving weight, cost and labor install.

U.S.     U.S. automakers don’t often design vehicles this way and incur excess engineering costs, Woychowski said.

The     The weight savings add up, allowing the Seagull travel farther per charge smaller battery. For example, the Seagull that Caresoft tested weighs 2,734 pounds (1,240 kilograms), about 900 pounds less than Chevrolet Bolt, slightly larger electric vehicle made GM.

Even     Even with its minimalist design, the Seagull still has quality feel. The doors close solidly.
