The BYD Dolphin, which is considered one of the most affordable and well-packaged all-electric vehicles on the global market today, has been launched in Mexico, marking its debut in North America and bringing it one step closer to the United States, where cheap EVs are few and far between.
With this being said, it looks like shipping an electric car from China and putting it on sale in Mexico took its toll on the starting price, with the Dolphin going for 539,990 Mexican pesos (roughly $31,000), which is almost double the price of the base model in China, where the hatchback starts from 116,800 yuan (about $16,000).
