BYD Seagull Overhaul
1 October 2026
BYD Seagull and Chinese NEV Sales
The BYD Seagull, BYD's cheapest EV, is getting a major overhaul, as reported by Electrek. New images of the second-gen Seagull reveal a larger, more upscale design with luxury features. Meanwhile, CarNewsChina reports that BYD tops the Chinese NEV sales rankings in September 2026, followed by Leapmotor and Changan Nevo.
Nissan and BMW Plans
InsideEVs reports that Nissan wants hybrids to be its primary powertrain by 2030, with more hybrids and EREV models coming. Electrek also reports that the new 2027 BMW i3 is available with up to 468 miles of range, but at a high price.
Commercial EVs and Import Implications
Electrek reports that commercial EVs are taking off, with Workhorse announcing a fresh order of 200 trucks. This growth in commercial EVs may impact the types of vehicles being imported into Egypt.
