P.S. Among these three electric cars, the BYD Atto 3 is the most significant, as it belongs to the very important and popular segment of the compact crossover market, the conquest of which is important for the mass adoption of electric cars. Unfortunately, it looks like the old legacy automakers (and actually Tesla too) have lost the race to be the first to start producing affordable electric cars for the European market. The reluctance of legacy car companies to start producing properly designed mass-market electric cars will lead these companies to very serious losses in car market share and profits.
