Electric vehicle boom dubbed the 'BYD effect' in inflation fight
Original: ‘BYD effect’: electric vehicle boom becomes unexpected tool to combat inflation
The rapid growth of cheap electric vehicles, led by China's BYD, is being credited with helping to bring down inflation, a phenomenon being called the 'BYD effect'. Falling battery and car prices are reducing transport costs for consumers, offering policymakers an unexpected disinflationary force at a time when prices elsewhere remain stubborn. Commentators are weighing how far cheaper EVs can offset inflationary pressures in other parts of the economy.
Why now: EV prices are falling fast, and commentators are linking cheaper Chinese electric cars to easing inflation.
