BYD Seagull Driven + The Future Of Plug-In Hybrids | InsideEVs Podcast Ep 27

From InsideEVs.

Tim is on vacation this week so InsideEVs’ Kevin Williams is back to talk about more of the EVs he tested in China. Most notably: China’s best-selling car, the BYD Seagull, which starts around $8,000. It’s headed to Europe and other places soon, and Kevin discusses how it drives—and why it’s a game-changer. Plus, Patrick and Kevin test a plug-in hybrid that may be the future of plug-in hybrids.
