Today, the Chinese EV brand, BYD, launching in Pakistan, on August 17th, 2024. Here’s a quick overview of this brand, its models, and their salient features.

Future of Auto Market After BYD Launch
From our perspective, the launch of BYD in the Pakistani market is an EV revolution. Although many other brands are offering all-electric vehicles, e.g., MG, ORA, GUGO, and Honri, these are just small potatoes in the international EV market that was taking advantage of the Pakistani market due to the absence of a leading international EV brand. But, after BYD, which is currently the #1 global EV car maker, the market will probably change.
It will surely shake these tadpole EV brands; see the graph below:
BYD has claimed the coveted #1 Spot In The Global Electric Vehicle Market, surpassing even the mighty Tesla and Volkswagen Group.
People will gradually start taking an interest in EV cars (only if BYD prices make sense) as this is the only official brand in Pakistan that is considered a serious player in the international EV market.
