'BYD effect': EV boom emerges as unexpected inflation weapon
Original: ‘BYD effect’: electric vehicle boom becomes unexpected tool to combat inflation
The rapid rise of cheap electric vehicles, led by China's BYD, is being credited with helping to bring down inflation. Falling EV prices are pulling down overall vehicle costs and pressuring rivals to cut prices, an effect commentators have dubbed the 'BYD effect'. Analysts point to China's EV price war spilling into global markets as an unexpected disinflationary force.
Why now: The Guardian has highlighted how BYD's low-priced electric vehicles are cooling inflation, a novel angle on the EV price war.
