Chinese automaker BYD has stunned the global auto industry by unveiling a revolutionary electric vehicle priced at just $15,000, capable of traveling from London to Spain on a single full charge. The ultra-efficient EV, touted as a game-changer in affordable long-distance travel, is expected to disrupt global electric vehicle markets with its unprecedented battery range and price tag.

This latest BYD model reportedly covers over 1,000 kilometers (620+ miles) per charge, a feat made possible by advancements in battery density, aerodynamic design, and lightweight materials. Industry experts say this could mark a turning point in EV adoption, especially in Europe and developing nations, where affordability and range anxiety remain barriers.

While details of the model name and full specs are awaited, the car is already being hailed as a breakthrough in sustainable transportation. BYD, which recently surpassed Tesla in global EV sales, aims to roll out this vehicle in both Asian and European markets later this year.

If verified under European WLTP standards, the range is sufficient for a non-stop trip from London to Madrid, making it one of the most cost-effective EVs ever built with ultra-long-distance capabilities.

The announcement has triggered buzz across auto forums and environmental circles, with many calling it a “Tesla moment for the masses.”
