    What are the subsidy rates on these vehicles? How much should the market value of a Seagull be?

    I’m Europe, the BYD Dolphin starts at 23k Euros, so that’s probably pretty close to the nonsubsidized price.

      Idk if you can compare a Civic with an Accord and call the $4000 difference a subsidy.

      But if we’re being generous and ignoring the Euro/USD currency spread, you’re still talking about a $7000 subsidy. Roughly what Americans give out in EV credits. Except its for a car that’s still cheaper than its American equivalent.
