I have ridden in several as ubers, and I always ask the drivers how they like them. Odds are pretty good these days that you get a BYD every sixth or eighth uber.
Having owned an electric car for over five years in the US, I can tell you that repairs and maintenance are almost nonexistent, as electric cars have so far fewer parts, especially moving parts that wear out.
The big BYD push, with showrooms in the northern suburbs, and right next to the obelisco, is all electric cars at 2/3 the price of the gas cars sold in Argentina by the big automakers.
Uruguay has always had more Chinese cars, as there are no local factories. I have rented cheap Chinese gas poweed gars in Uruguay a couple of times, and they were pretty similar to argentine fiats or renaults.
