Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

The chinese agree and are calling them NEV's (new energy vehicles)
https://www.byd.com/uk/electric-cars/what-is-a-nev
Not to be confused with ‘neighbourhood electric vehicle’, NEV stands for ‘New Energy Vehicle’ and is a term used to describe all types of electric vehicles, from battery-powered fully electric vehicles to plug-in hybrid cars.
“The Chinese” is just BYD, to lump together EV and ICE plug-in-hybrid vehicle sales in a bigger sum. Purely marketing strategy.
don’t think so, i don’t see anything to support that
like i’m sure byd are using it for marketing but i don’t believe the term is just byd, they are just the most popular

Ah, yeah you’re right. Always read about it in conjunction with BYD, as you say just because they are often in the news
