Well, I have fortunately the privilege of not having to believe anyone, since I already have my EV and have no reason to change in several years. But I'll certainly take a look at the data when it comes the time to acquire the next one. Who knows, BYD might be on the short list.

They aren't selling to you, they are rental companies. They are making decisions based on entirely different criteria and priorities than a private owner. But I'm sure your 5 minute googling is better than their combined several decades of experience running their business.
