Post Body

Sorry if this is US only sub. I just placed order for my BYD Seagull and expecting delivery this week, pending bank process. It comes with gbt port from what I researched and asked the showroom, and we have locally majority of css2 port from what I learnt. When I searched for ccs2 to gbt port is around 2000 usd. The car was around 12000 usd so it's very difficult for me to afford 2000 adapter, there are cheaper slow charging ac adapters too but how are fast charging dc adapters that expensive. I' have even checked prices on Aliexpress, very very expensive. Checked Alibaba and ebay too. Nothing less than 900 usd and goes around 1000 usd with shipping and import tax.

Im very new to EV and hoping to save on fuel and go green in the same process. As much as affordable i have found this car to be, im worried parts will be quite expensive as this one.
