Chinese automotive giant BYD is set to launch its most affordable electric vehicle (EV) yet in South Africa – the Atto 1 – with an expected price tag below R400,000 next month.
According to a report by CarMag, this price point (suggested by Chinese sources despite BYD SA being "tight-lipped") would position the Atto 1 (known as the Dolphin Mini/Dolphin Surf elsewhere) as a contender for South Africa's most affordable EV title, potentially matching the current entry-level Dayun S5.
