Commenting on the partnership, Bono Ge, Country Manager of BYD UK, said:
"We're delighted to be joining EVUK to fully support its mission to increase consumer awareness of electric vehicles. Together we aim to explain the various benefits of owning an electric car - from a smoother, quieter drive, responsive performance and reduced running costs - by providing accurate information to the public. In doing this, we'll move closer to our ultimate goals of achieving global climate targets and improving air quality."
Tanya Sinclair, CEO of Electric Vehicles UK, said:
“I am delighted to welcome BYD as a partner of EVUK. They are innovators in EV technology and are among the global manufacturers moving away from fossil-fuelled vehicles and accelerating the UK’s transition to an all-electric future.
