Whatever you might hear regarding 'the big boys', I can assure you that whilst they may have similar product to BYD, the price they demand will be significantly more that you will pay from us.

They ALL buy their B's + C's from third parties, they ALL make their own margin and they ALL are selling products with shorter warranties (5 years vs. 8 years)

BYD are making good in roads into the UK market, we now have 100+ units either in service or on the way and most of these are from orders of 1, 2 or 3 machines. The big plus in this case is that we are receiving orders from multiple customers allowing our dealers to develop the proposition steadily and more importantly, profitably.

I still find it slightly amusing that the industry continues to underestimate us.

We look forward to surprising more competitors and customers in the coming months with new product launches and hopefully more success at IFOY...

But please, feel free to keep ignoring us, we really don't mind!!
