The article highlights a smart timing strategy as BYD leverages record fuel prices in Japan to attract attention through long test drives
Overall it looks like a strong marketing strategy especially in a market like Japan where EV acceptance is still relatively cautious
The idea sounds attractive but I wonder how many users will actually commit after testing or just treat it as a free experience
Interesting move from BYD offering up to 66 hour test drives it feels like a smart way to push EV adoption when fuel prices are rising
