Fun Facts

BYD’s only use LFP batteries.
These batteries don’t contain Cobalt or Nickel (which is often mined by children).
They have heavily reduced thermal runaway issues (see the attached YouTube video)
They don’t have the degradation issues that NCM style packs have
They can be charged up to 100% with minimal impact on battery life
BYD’s all have V2L (Vehicle to Load), so you can power anything from the car. Great during natural disasters or when power is cut.
BYD is one of the largest battery manufacturers on the planet, and one of the leaders in LFP battery technology.

      Both Ovo and AGL plans also included a demand charge which from experience can substantially increase your energy bill

        @MS Chris: My energy bill has been 0 for the last 8 months. They stopped charging us the monthly fee. Solar pays for everything. We also withdrawn the credit in the account. Wouldn’t switch to any other provider unless they stop paying us for solar

I have one and absolutely do NOT regret buying it. I have driven it to SYD and back from BNE no issues whatsoever. Only minor inconvenience was I had to wait at some chargers to charge the car on the way back. I wouldn't mind getting another one but can't justify the expenditure right now. I'm personally not a fan of the interior but after a while you just look past it. I know people who previously said they would never buy a Chinese brand car but have ended up buying an Atto3.

For people on the fence between a tesla and byd (don't just look at price actually do real research on the cars) If all you want is a car that looks and feels like any ICE car with the only change being that its an ev then get a byd, for those that want a car that is loaded with tech and is the forefront of level 2 and level 3 autonomy then get a Tesla.

    I wouldn't believe what the main stream media tells you, most of that is total BS. Merc is a long way from getting level 3 perfect showing perfect runs doesn't make it a system that works or else it would be in every merc globally. Being "first" doesnt' mean its any good. and the mercedes implementation is based on the fact you have a preprogrammed route that it knows. You can't take this down a route it doesn't know, it will struggle. Tesla are trying to make FSD level 3 a full AI learning experience which sees new roads and is able to learn on the fly and process new information at the same time. Mercedes are revealing how there level 3 works they are just showing you "videos" of it some what working.

    well for one they make and design about 90% of there own parts, and make there own software. They also have started to make there own batteries, 16v lithium batteries for the electronics is in almost every model 3 and Y, S, and X where other car manufacturer including byd are using old 12v lead acid battery, Telsa have gone even further with next gen 48v battery system with a fully connected ethernet system in car for faster data through out the cars functions, where traditional cars are still using the old slow harness system that has been in cars since the 70s, Not to mention Drive by wire and many other technologies over the years, Tesla are engineering cars to have 21st century technology in them moving away from old systems that the car industry holds on to. You need to take a deep dive into Teslas manufacturing process to see what they have changed how cars are made on so many levels, research is something you need to do, I can't cover every change and innovation in just a comment. The problem is people don't want to hear what they don't want to know, or they are lazy to do research one of the 2. Tesla is a whole other category on its own.
    - Flintz on 19/01/2024 - 10:50
      
      this sounds exciting but to the customer, they just want to know what they're getting vs another EV. I'm gathering from your info it's mostly better battery as I'm not sure what makes their software better apart from self driving (never owned an EV btw)

        @Flintz: if your talking customer benefits from a maintenance prospective you will have little to low cost on a tesla than you would on any other ev. for example if we go back to the 12v lead acid battery example, 12v batteries do not last long we are talking 3 to 5 years if your lucky. on a tesla a 16v lithium battery if warranted for the life of the car which means you never need to replace it. That's just one example. The biggest service cost you will ever have is changing your tires. Costing in general after you buy a tesla is lower than any ev on the market. Tesla also encourage replacement of alot of things on your own, with alot of service parts widely assessable on there website, customer how to videos on how to change things like wiper blades, top up your wiper fluid, checking tires, even changing and maintaining you own AC filters. Total opposite to any traditional car dealership, then there is the regular software updates that give you new features, improve the overall function of the car, and fix issues, they are quick about it to.

        @Flintz: It would be similar if you were to compare a Camry to a BMW 3-series. Mostly driving dynamics if you separate out the software and don't compare that. If you look at the base car structure, the Tesla's is better by using cast aluminium parts instead of thinner welded stamped steel sheets.
        
        The obstacle detection for Tesla is not bad as it will warn you from quite a distance away if you are approaching a stopped or slow vehicle, and your own vehicle is not slowing down. Other areas fall short behind what we expect of other vehicles, like auto wipers etc though.

      Even normal parking is ass. Tesla is too cheap to pay for basic sensors like ultrasonic sensors. They also refuse to pay for 360 camera licensing and instead give you a terrible heat map which may or may not be accurate.
      
      The only thing Tesla really has going for it is the Model Y and it's boot space. Once other manufacturers figure out that people want to cram shit in the back of front of their car, we'll see a bigger shift away from Tesla.

  No they are not, they are copying the rest of the world, based on what other brands have done with their EVs. Have to remember that China was big on hybrids and PHEV's. It was only after Tesla resparked BEV demand 10 years ago that companies like BYD focused more on their own BEV development. BYD's first EV was meant for use as taxis, and even that only sold almost 35000 of that BEV over 6 years in China, which is a pretty poor sales number.

    Don't disagree children/slave labour needs to stop, but Cobalt/Nickel mining has been happening for decades and no one cared about the children for batteries used in everyday items until EVs came along and BOOM everyone cares, EVs are bad because of the children!
    
    How about blood diamonds and children in diamond mines? No one brings these up when people flash a big diamond ring!
    
    Its an interesting angle, just saying.
    
    LFP all the way.
    
    Other than being less energy dense, yes LFP do seem to be very well suited for EVs at the moment! Lets see if they age as well as the 'other' packs have.

      Sure you can NOT buy a diamond ring if you feel it’s had child exploitation in its background but can you really be sure. Also will the alternative be in the same price ballpark.

They don’t have the degradation issues that NCM style packs have
They can be charged up to 100% with minimal impact on battery life

These two statements seem to contradict each other a bit. But yes LFP packs at this stage are claimed to be able to be charged to 100% daily without issues. Time will tell!

    BYD LFP Blade batteries are only put into RWD Model Y made from the Berlin factory for the European market.
    
    CATL LFP batteries are installed into RWD Model 3 and Y cars made in China and USA. We get these models in Australia.
    
    LFP batteries are a style of Li-Ion battery.
    NCM batteries are a style of Li-Ion battery.
    NCA batteries are a style of Li-Ion battery.
    Etc etc.

        ICE cars are more than 60 or 138 times more likely to catch fire than EVs, but sure keep spreading FUD that EV batteries catch fires like its something special.

        A 2022 analysis by insurance company AutoinsuranceEZ showed that based on US-based National Transport and Safety Board data, ICE vehicles are 60 times more likely to catch fire than electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles are 138 times more likely to catch fire (it is not clear how the analysis defines plug-in hybrids.)

        @JimmyF: Something is getting really lost in translation, this isn’t what I’m saying at all.
        
        I’m not claiming EVs batteries burst into flames frequently - I was addressing someone posting FUD about EV battery fires.
        
        EV battery fires are very rare. Some chemistries (eg LFP) are more stable than others - so VERY very rare.
        
        Thanks for the NRMA link.

        Errr remember this statement
        
        Li-ion fires are rare but common
        
        Claiming they are 'common'? Sure they are rare, they are far from common, far less likely to catch fire than your ICE, but no one cares about an ICE parked in a underground car park, but screaming from the roof tops for EVs to be banned when its the ICE that is more likely to catch fire.

        Well to be fair, that's because an ICE fire in an underground car park is a pain in the ass.
        But an EV fire in an underground car park, despite being a much rarer occurrence, can be absolute armageddon.

        Dunno, ICE caused 1500 cars to catch fire at an airport, It sounds pretty 'armageddon' to me.

        At least with ICE fires, that type of epic disaster is just a crazy freak occurrence.

        Huh? The airport fire was caused a ICE, not a EV and took out 1500 cars with it.
        
        At least with ICE fires, that type of epic disaster is just a crazy freak occurrence.
        
        Scroll up, ICE cars are 60 or 138 times more likely to catch fire than EVs, but sure keep spreading FUD that EV catch fires is bad.

    Yes, that is the main reason why I consider BYD over Tesla, although slowly Telsa will have same battery here and there
    - JimmyF on 19/01/2024 - 14:54
      
      Tesla have LFP batteries in the base models.

What does residential purposes mean? You can only drive it around in your house?
- McSquintus on 19/01/2024 - 11:25
  
  Most likely means private buyers can get the deal and not businesses.

Ignorant question: would you need a 3 phase for this to charge at home?
- E5TOQUE on 19/01/2024 - 10:54
  
  +6
  
  Not required.
  
  You can charge it off a standard 10AMP power point.
  Albeit slowely (~2.4kW)
  
  If you want to charge it faster, a single phase 15AMP (~3.6kW) or 32AMP (~7.6kW) connection will be more than fine. You will need an electrician to get those installed.
  
  The standard range car has a 49kWh pack
  The long range car has a 60kWh pack
  
  So you can calculate roughly how long it would take to fill up a completely empty battery to full. Keep in mind you will almost never park your car at home with a completely empty battery, and the charge curve on batteries is not linear.

  No, single phase will do. In fact, it only uses 1 phase even with 3 phase charger.
- Sleepycat3 on 19/01/2024 - 11:45
  
  +2
  
  No, because BYD Atto 3 does not support charging with 3 phase. It only supports 1 phase, which is 2 kW on 8A (this is the charger that they provide), 3.6 kW on 15A (if you use an aftermarket charger) and a maximum of 7.6 kW on 32A (using one of those regular wall chargers at shopping malls (Tesla, Chargefox, etc).
  
  If you use the faster DC charging, then it is up to 88 kW, which is about half the speed of other main brands.
spriggan43 on 19/01/2024 - 11:49

would this work with a novated lease ?
- ChaseTheSun on 19/01/2024 - 15:37
  
  yes and u would get the ev fbt discount
  - burningrage on 19/01/2024 - 15:55
    
    Don't forget, if you are novated leasing the EV, you will get Reportable Fringe Benefits which may or may not affect your Govt benefits (at the very least, Private Health subsidy)

Bloke in SA bought a wrecked Atto 3 for $11K to salvage the 60kWh battery

Build quality of the pack is good though individual cells cannot be easily replaced

EV's have a massive insurance issue due to the lack of specialist repairers and abundance of parts that cannot be repaired

A solid hit to the front right on this Atto 3 and the insurance company declares it an unrepairable write off and loses $35K+

These losses come back as increased premiums for the driver and everyone else so as EV's get more popular, the whole community will be paying a stealth EV tax by way of more expensive insurance

  Very strange indeed, based on lots of commentators here, the car should have caught fire and burned to the ground ;)
  
  But thanks for posting. Going to be interesting to see what they do with it.

Really looking forward to finding out how these hold up long-term (ie: after the warranty runs out).

  They probably won't.. its the throw away generation.
  With how quickly tech is evolving in this space, can you imagine how undesirable these things will be in 7 years time..

Below is the Ozbargain way buying and owning a BYD.

Pay the 1k deposit with a new credit card that need meet spending requirement for the sign up points (1k worth points bonus plus the sign up bonus).

Apply for state government subsidy (if still available, saving of $3.5k if in WA).

By it through Novated leasing and source your own finance. CBA has 7.* % loan and rest is a rip off (saving of any GST, all the cost pre-tax, great saving of around $7k per year at least!)

Apply BYD rebate of $2023.

Buy a charger on eBay using discounted eBay gift card bought using Coles MC (saving of $100).

Find a cheap installer on the service seek website (saving of $500).

Switch electricity plan with free electricity or off peak $8c/kwh.

Only go to shopping Centers with free chargers

Sell the car after lease expires and repeat.

Let me know if I have miss anything. :)
- Poor Ass on 19/01/2024 - 12:10
  
  actually there is an issue with your way
  
  if you finance it through a Novated Lease you are ineligible for the government rebate
  
  also assuming the person can qualify or be able to salary sacrifice a novated leases

    if you are in WA you can get both. Unfortunately not in QLD though
    - Poor Ass on 19/01/2024 - 12:16
      
      really? nice
      
      why sell the car when the lease expires… the current resale rate of EVs are taking a beating
      - jimwh on 19/01/2024 - 12:26
        
        @Poor Ass: If the current FBT free legislation stays by the time your lease expires you will have more saving by spending more buying a new EV (typical Ozbargain way) :)
        In reality it also depends the resale value of the car and long term reliability of the car.

        @jimwh: cost more to run an EV when driving from Melbourne to Sydney :)
        
        jimwh on 19/01/2024 - 13:46
        
        @Poor Ass: if you refer to the BMW test, it really pick up the worst case for an EV. No ozbargainer would do the same thing.
        An EV will cost much more drive between regional places (compare with city drive) but I won't cost more then ICE cars.
        If you driving between Melbourne to Sydney on a daily basis, do not buy an EV.
        EV is the king in daily commute!
        
        Poor Ass on 19/01/2024 - 14:43
