For one, the BYD Beyond community is the official group of BYD electric car users in Indonesia. Officially declared in August 2024 in Jakarta, it has fast risen to 376 members. What makes this community unique, as noted here, is that it was made before BYD’s presence in the country became official, as proof that there was much ado about BYD’s electric vehicles even before their official release.
