## Caption

BYD's strategy is starting to become a lot clearer.

Just months after Canada dropped tariffs on Chinese-built EVs from 100% to 6.1%, BYD is targeting 20 branded dealerships in year one, starting in Toronto and pushing quickly into Vancouver, Montreal, and Calgary.

That is aggressive for a market with a 49,000-unit import cap across brands.

This expansion is starting to look more like a land grab than a soft launch.

The quota is tight. The timing is fast. And with Chery building too, BYD looks determined to secure the storefronts first and sort the allocation fight after.
