This Once-Promising Chinese EV Is Now Rotting In Northern California
Briefly

The Byton K-Byte was a concept vehicle developed by the Chinese EV startup Byton, which ultimately went bankrupt in 2023 without ever achieving public sales of any cars. Prior to its failure, the company had envisioned multiple models, including the K-Byte, designed to compete with vehicles like the Tesla Model S. While Byton had an international workforce and aimed for dual-market entry in the U.S. and China, financial struggles halted production plans, leading to its eventual bankruptcy. Concept models were seen in Northern California before the company ceased operations.
