      Because it impacts customer resales values.
      And for the company itself, it’s seen as a short term promotion, not lost income.

      You’re correct, probably triple that or more. EV’s are going to tank for depreciation, hasn’t quite got there in Aus, but everywhere else it’s shown the way.

      Not criticizing your research or anything, but is that rate proportional to the number of vehicles sold?

      I would think if BYD as a brand sold more than say, Tesla in China as an example, you'd statistically see more BYDs on fire than Tesla?

      • Meaty on 19/01/2024 - 03:05
        +7

        You are right, as BYD sell more than Tesla in China it will statically see more BYD on fire than Tesla. I wouldn't say Tesla don't get fire also, it just when I did EV research seems that BYD had issue that they tried to cover up. I read an article recently, maybe last month where one of BYD HQ in caught fire in China where they store their car then few days later the article the disappear.

      BYD is also the highest selling NEV producer in the world . The article you've linked is lumping Plug-in Hybrids as EVs. The BYD QIN and Tang are all plug-in Hybrids. The old discontinued E5 and E2 don't use their latest LFP batteries, both cars are over 12 years old. The Atto3 article you've linked is clearly not a battery fire or else nothing in the front would exist.

      According to the Department of defence research on EV fires https://www.evfiresafe.com/ev-fire-faqs EVs has 0.0012% fire rate compared to 0.1% of ICE vehicles.

    • E5TOQUE on 19/01/2024 - 07:31

      The fire issues are mostly from their hybrid PHEV models that use pouch type batteries, instead of much safer prismatic battery cells.

      BYD don’t currently sell their PHEV models in Australia and are actively switching their batteries over to prismatic cells this year.

      The mark up on the Atto3 is pretty insane, its a cheap budget $30k SUV in China. Zeekr is going to launch here soon. Once Zeekr X gets released here no ones going to buy an Atto3 for $50k.

      • E5TOQUE on 19/01/2024 - 07:34

        Zeekr are apparently going to be sold as a ‘premium’ brand in western markets.

        Volvo EX30 starts at $59K
        Will they take $10,000 off the asking price of the Zeekr X if they want it to be seen as a ‘premium’ brand?

        I hope so!
        Just not confident.

          Zeekr is a new brand. selling at Volvo price will just be fail. Even thought its basically the same platform. The starting price of the X is cheaper than the Seal in China. they would still make decent margin selling at $50k.

          Launching the 009 here is a stupid idea. the market wants affordable compact SUVs. not some ultra expensive people mover. People at Geely cant be brain dead.

    • DryScissors on 19/01/2024 - 08:15

      What infrastructure is needed? Chargers everywhere

    • enigma48 on 19/01/2024 - 09:46
      +6

      Fair enough, a lot of people are uneasy about charging. The media is obsessed with reporting about it.

      So far, after 6000km, I’ve charged about 1000km with a supercharger and 5000km at home. Charging off solar is 90% cheaper so most people charge at home, superchargers are just for road trips.

      I was concerned at first but so far, I’ve never had to wait at a charger. (I did pass by one that was in use, the other was a 5 min drive away)

    • krisspy on 19/01/2024 - 11:30
      +1

      Had the same mindset but was forced to buy due to old car konking out. Tbh now is the best time to buy. Infrastructure isnt gonna get better like you think it would. If long distance charging is a must for you, then you shouldnt really be looking outside of tesla.

      Just some things to consider.
      - there will probably be more chargers along motorways interstate, but just like all non tesla chargers theyre gonna have 6 stalls, 3 broken 50% of the time and the rest are barely providing the kw output they advertise.
      - tesla chargers will be sharing more superchargers but at the moment they have like 8 ready to be used by non teslas across australia. Ive tried a few and there can be issues eg. Slow speeds or not even connecting. Have a look at plugshare on the shared chargers and youll see alot of reviews from non tesla cars

      During peak/holiday periods expect to be 2nd or 3rd in line to charge.

      Dont wait until the gov forces people to buy evs, i guarantee you infrastructure would still be shite then.

  • ContinuousCustomer on 19/01/2024 - 07:30

    Been driving one for a half year or so, pretty satisfied. We have never driven interstate, we charge the car at home for free with an EV plan, or our favourite shopping centre, which has 5 hours of free parking, charges at 7.5kw. Home charger is about the same, we sell solar for 10c, we charge the car for 8c per kw. I have a 16kw solar system, it pretty much covers everything and brings in some cash. My only complaint with the car is the lane assist mode, irs a bit aggressive. We charge once a week to 100%. The transition from an ICE car to this EV was super smooth, software gets updated quite often. I am enjoying the new low speed sound. The car came with a pretty lousy 8gb sd csrd, swapped it with a 512gb one, love the dashcam, and the 360 view camera.
