I get the feeling that the BYD e6 needs some finetuning before it could compete in the US and European market, yet at 1/3 of the price of a Tesla model S it would be the ideal EV for many. I'll keep it in mind.
I wonder whether your tax rules could be trumped by building a car with a very small petrol engine, to be retrofitted with an EV conversion so it would end up as an EV with range extender?

Could be done if the vehicle is imported as "raw materials" for an EV or hybrid, then put together.
Taxes apply to sticker price only, nowadays. But yes, parts for hybrids and EVs are tax exempt... only if you can prove they're to be used in the manufacturer of an "alternative energy" vehicle.
Supposedly. Having talked to local EV assemblers, still no luck in that regard.
