    BYD isn’t exactly better… But I guess this will be cheaper. You lose out on the really handy supercharging network tho… Don’t know how this will work out…

      Supercharger is much less important outside the US where companies are actually building charging networks.

      They’re rental cars. They don’t care how customers charge them. They get bonus penalties if you bring them back with less charge than when you picked them up.

      Yeah, outside the US, all of us in Europe use CCS2 for DC fast charging, and Tesla stations are like all other brands, open to whatever car shows up.

        Its safe to assume sixt will probably use BYD cars outside of the US. Not sure why Americans think everything revolves around them.
