                                  @jimwh: have you got a website that shows

                                  free charging locations?

                                  • jimwh on 19/01/2024 - 16:06

                                    Mostly free chargers are in shopping centres within the Metro areas.

                        @Poor Ass: If your daily commute is in the country and EV is even better. You're likely driving a longer distance which costs more in petrol so you have more to save. You also save more time not having to go buy petrol constantly because you're driving 100-200km a day.

                        At the end of the day you just plug it in at home which is no issue because since you live in regional/rural area you have lots of space to park your car on your property and charge.

                      @jimwh: That test was pathetic. Not mentioned is that if you did indeed purchase a BMW i7 you would have free charging with Chargefox for 5 years. So the travel would potentially cost nothing.

                      @jimwh: i'll add to that dodgy test by carexpert. the supposedly "ICE" BMW is really a Hybrid. they picked the most expensive 300kw charger even though the car can only do 190kw charging. The i7 comes with 5 years of free charging via charge fox.

      You need an invoice to claim rebate in nsw.
      If you lease, they make out the invoice to the financer/interested party.

      Early on byd orders they didn't have a process for novated lease, they tell you to order as if you're gonna pay yourself and they just amend the invoice.

      Some people got 2 invoices and managed to double dip on the NSW rebate and novated lease (not eligible for rebate if you're on lease, but you have an invoice with your name on it so it gets approved).

    Is there any reason you'd get this over a Tesla?

    • milobob on 19/01/2024 - 14:32

      Yes it's about 25k cheaper than the model y. Interior size is bigger than the corolla cross. Spec for spec they cost almost the same price (vs the corolla cross).

      I wouldn't say the byd is decades behind in tech. That's your Toyota BEV. If you think the BYD is terrible compared to the Tesla, wait till you see the Germans. Their efficiency is worse. Looking at you Taycans!

    • krisspy on 19/01/2024 - 16:03

      The whole everything is controlled from the screen put me off Teslas.

      Sucks that the model y is on a league on its own as the only affordable mid sized suv.

    • scphotos on 19/01/2024 - 20:50
      +2

      As others have said, $20k or 30% cheaper is the main reason.

      A few other benefits:
      Immediate delivery on some stock vs months wait for Tesla
      Much, much cooler interior if you live in a hot climate - powered sunroof and shade vs none on the Tesla
      360 parking camera vs squiggly inaccurate line
      Front bumper camera vs no bumper camera
      Android Auto vs no android auto
      Apple Carplay vs no Carplay

      Model Y:
      Much, much bigger boot
      Huge frunk
      More conservative interior (Atto 3 is too wild imo)

      We went the Y in the end, despite it's shortcomings. We just needed more space for kids and their associated crap.

      We also bought a BYD Seal over a Model 3.

    • Baruarua on 19/01/2024 - 15:05

      Good old petrol isn't that good anymore when petrol price's hitting the roof, at least for now.. PHEV might be a more appealing makeshift.

      However, I do agree that Hydrogen is the go-to option in the future.

      • jimwh on 19/01/2024 - 15:21
        +3

        Hydrogen is more suitable for Heavy vehicle, not passenger car.

        1. Hydrogen equipment is too expensive.
        2. The energy conversion rate of hydrogen is slightly better than petrol but much worse than electricity. There is too much energy used to make hydrogen.

        I believe the solid state battery car is more likely to happen

        • BlackMonk on 19/01/2024 - 15:37

          I agree, currently it takes a lot of energy to produced compressed hydrogen…

          but the same way we found a way to make petrol, batteries, that innovation R&D needs to go into hydrogen production to increase efficiency…
          but nobody will invest in it, certainly not petroleum companies.

          don't forget Hydrogen is unlimited and free…

          vs Lithium or other elements that go into a battery that won't be unlimited, and only found in certain locations/countries

          • jimwh on 19/01/2024 - 15:42

            @BlackMonk: ya ultimately it depends on which one is more affordable. If there is an economical way to extract hydrogen and store them, it will become a better option.

            Either way it is better than the petrol car option.

      • BlackMonk on 19/01/2024 - 15:33

        I don't want to turn this into a political debate, but nonetheless, the issue is political and to a lesser extent technical…

        H is the most abundant element in the universe, and it's free…

        Now to get a multi-trillion petroleum company like BP Exxon mobile, china petroleum etc to start investing in Hydrogen refineries and stations…
        Well that's shooting themselves in their foot and devaluing their major asset…

        You have smaller players that could come in, but they don't have the capital to get started everywhere.

        and so you end up with Lithium, because it's not free, and there is money to be made, which you can sell and PHEV which is not great, because it still depends on the battery and if the battery goes the whole car goes. I haven't see one PHEV that can still run if the electric engine shuts off.

        • E5TOQUE on 20/01/2024 - 01:32
          +3

          Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. However on Earth you don’t find Hydrogen freely available ready to be used. It’s always attached to other elements creating compounds like Oxygen or Ammonia.

          To break those bonds and get Hydrogen by itself uses a lot of energy (renewal or not). Then you need to store it and transport it. Which uses more energy again.

          Yes Hydrogen is more efficient then burning Oil
          But EV’s are even more efficient then all of them by quite a considerable margin, and all that energy that’s gone into getting Hydrogren by itself, storing it and transporting it could just be put directly into an EV to use far more efficiently.

          Don’t get me wrong, there is a huge role Hydrogen will play in the future. But it won’t be big personal transportation.

        when petrol price's hitting the roof

        About $1.65/l now which is quite cheap…

        And the more people that buy EV's means lower demand for petrol which puts downward pressure on prices going forward.

        • sal78 on 22/01/2024 - 09:14

          Exactly simple economics. We need petrol prices high so more ppl buy EV to push prices down n stay low.

      the U.S start to drilling for oil again, and see the oil go back to $1-1.20 mark.

    EVs depreciate 50% in 5 years, https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/how-much-more-electric…

    so 1 year depreciation, 10% so old model is kind of $5,000 of depreciation already. Doesn't seem like a great deal to buy an older model. Battery life is time and km dependent and that's a big cost.

    • jimwh on 19/01/2024 - 18:44

      I would be quite happy if I can sell my EV for 50% of purchase price after 5 years.

      • Naigrabzo on 30/01/2024 - 09:40

        Absolutely no chance. Even if you had 10k kms on it, I'd be suspicious of the battery quality. If you park the car for extended periods, the battery deteriorates. If you park it in super hot climates, the battery deteriorates. If you do nothing, the battery deteriorates. If you run it alot and hard, the battery deteriorates. If you fast charge, the battery deteriorates etc etc.

        Then there is no way to check the health of the battery at 5 years.

        Would you pay $25k for a BYD first gen car in 2028 years? I would seriously doubt it.

        • Nom on 25/02/2024 - 23:03

          You're obviously unaware that modern cars are packed from top to bottom with detailed diagnostics. Some cars can produce battery status reports via OBD, some via phone apps, and others can produce battery reports via the dealer tools.

          Then there is no way to check the health of the battery at 5 years.

          There are multiple ways to check the battery health in great detail. Nobody is going to buy a used EV without a detailed battery health report, and I'm not sure why you are suggesting that they would ?

    • cloudy on 19/01/2024 - 19:35

      It’s much higher than that in China but regardless of depreciation, EVs are cheap enough to buy new over 2nd hand. Technology moves so fast there that after a few yrs, no one will buy your car when they can buy new for same price with gov incentives.

    I had a test drive in a BYD Atto and hated the interior.

    I sat in the BYD Seal and was surprised it was priced similarly - the Seal feels like a much more premium vehicle

    • Creamsoda on 19/01/2024 - 21:31
      +1

      That's because Seal is a premium vehicle. Atto3 costs $31k AUD in it's domestic market while the Seal costs $42k. The Dynamic Seal variant for $49k AUD is an absolute bargain.

      • MKBHD on 20/01/2024 - 22:25

        I don't understand why they priced the Seal and dynamic in particular so aggressively in Australia. Other similar markets like UK are much more expensive in comparison.

        • Nom on 20/01/2024 - 22:35

          Because in Australia they need to significantly undercut the likes of Kia/Hyundai - if they were priced at a similar level, then the Koreans would take most of their sales.

          • MKBHD on 20/01/2024 - 22:39

            @Nom: Kia / Hyundai must operate in UK too? Not 100% sure but I thought UK has more EV choices compared to Aus so even more reason to price cheaper. But Seals there are priced the same or more than Model 3s I believe and so is the case for most of Europe hence they sell single digit cars per week in some markets. I might be wrong but based on articles I read or videos I watched this was my take.

            • Nom on 20/01/2024 - 22:54

              @MKBHD: I guess the answer is a combination of the price the market will bear, and the regional strategy in each area. Remember what happened with the GR Yaris at it's Australian launch - when Toyota contributed $10K towards the cost of each car, it sold out within a couple of days, massively quicker than expected, and the eventual $40K price was amongst the cheapest in the world. They did this entirely as a GR brand building excercise, and for whatever reason they decided to do that here.

            • sal78 on 22/01/2024 - 09:19

              @MKBHD: In UK/ Europe, manual cars are still soooo popular. We got a manual rental car. Ppl just prefer manual cars there.

    For people who own one or has had one for a few years. My only biggest doubt about any manufacturer is there after sales handling.

    How good is this warranty, do they act on it fast or do they make you jump through hoops to do warranty claims? How easy is it to do one and has anyone had to do one and comment on turn around time?

    Upgraded and cheaper version may be on the way to us. The EV market is maturing, battery costs are decreasing. I think it’s likely we’ll see the market become substantially more competitive over the next few years, putting downward pressure on prices.
