Move over, gas guzzlers! Chinese automaker BYD is accelerating Brazil's electric vehicle (EV) revolution—even before its new Salvador plant starts production later this year. With sleek designs and wallet-friendly tech, BYD has already captured a massive slice of Brazil's EV market. Local drivers are charged up about the shift!
Why Rio Drivers Are Smiling 
Meet Lucrecia Franco, a Rio-based app driver who swapped her old car for a BYD EV. "It’s quieter, cheaper to run, and passengers love it!" she says. Stories like hers are fueling BYD's rise as Brazil's go-to green mobility brand.
Factory on the Horizon 
The upcoming Bahia plant—BYD's first in Latin America—promises to supercharge local jobs and EV accessibility. Analysts say this move could reshape the region's auto industry, with China leading the global EV race.
