Just a few hours ago I saw the end of the last video "i have to give the car back soon, I don't have time to retest" then this drops. Really impressive. From the spreadsheet Bjorn has over 115,000 kms just doing 1000 km challenge. What an asset to the EV community.

[@cordkretzschmar5693]

I can not believe the passion of this EV hero. To redo this test and figure out how to do it so much better. Great!

[@trevorberridge6079]

Well done Bjorn. Thorough as ever and being very fair to the Atto. Unfortunatley fairness when reviewing EVs is still not a common occurrence. You do the most comprehensive tests of any reviewer I've seen. I can think of few others who might re-test the Atto in order to discover a 35 minute improvement as well as a tweak to maintain higher charging speeds. At the end of the day it was a 4.7% improvement in the time. That's not massive, but it is notable. Who else would eek out that extra little bit because they took the time to work out the issue? And you're entertaining with it. You are an absolute legend.

[@jarsmoreira]

Thanks a lot got the extra mile Bjørn!!! I hope that BYD watches these serires of your videos on the Atto 3 and alonmg with your feedback, they can improve the car (mainly the fogging issue, that makes the car quite dangerous to drive...they are lucky that EURO NCAP does not account for fogging as a point for grading a car).

[@elioniqdk2636]

Perhaps you should consider doing another 1000 km challenge. The car have been improved a lot since summer 2023 via software updates. I've had mine for a year now and my Atto3 was just as foggy as you show in this video. This winter it almost didn't fog the windows. I believe they have changed the fan-direction in one of the updates. Now it should blow at the windscreen instead of the floor when you lock the doors. I think the good car is even better now :) (I'm Danish)

[@weefinn1]

BYD in New Zealand rolled out an OTA fogging fix that wasn't effective for all vehicles, and made some much much worse. They are currently looking to trial an update with 50 vehicles before fill rollout. Appreciate your work, no one does better or more comprehensive reviews than you Bjorn!

[@josielinnea]

You decided to re-do the test anyway :O Wow. Dedication. Well, now I’ll continue watching the videos. I’m sure it’s great work as usual. Thank you for your channel,

[@hadtopicausername]

Kudos for doing a re-test. This is a lot of work on your part, Bjørn. This is also pretty interesting, because it shows what kind of performance the average driver will be able to get out of the car, versus a ninja like you. Now what BYD need to do, is update the software, so the average driver can get the same performance. The windows fogging up is just weird on a modern car like this. Honestly, it reminds me of my old VW Beetle, but at least there the windshield is so close and small that I can wipe it clean by hand while driving :)

[@nadnerb2k]

I'm seriously jealous about how many charging options you've got there. Here in Australia we have some pretty big gaps and often only one or two 50kW tritium units for over 100km. It's improving but with a recent spike in EV sales it's not really keeping up. Anyway. Thanks again Bjorn. If I'm ever in a hurry to get from Sydney to Melbourne I'll know how to save half an hour 😊😊

Thank you for re doing this test after your findings. It is your dedication at doing these tests that finds problems and you always seem to find the cause. BYD are an option on my list when I change my Kia E Niro next year.

[@austin2planks]

You said you weren't going to retest...you are a machine!!! thanks for your dedication. BYD need to listen to you and sort out the issues here, as noone should need to be a ninja! Otherwise it looks like a frest car.

[@youxkio]

That heating-cooling system has a design flaw. It should work properly according to the needs of the driver and not the driver concerning/guessing about the heat pump/AC systems. However, that is quirky but not acceptable for today's standards, and sure there are other EVs with better heating/cooling systems. Another issue is when it rapid-gates in warmer weather regions such as the tropics.

[@elektrischunterwegscom]

That is just poor software!

[@youxkio]

@@elektrischunterwegscom Agree. It probably could be fixed over-the-air updates.

[@PsychedMedia]

Users in Malaysia and Thailand are not seeing this issue. We actually heard about this the first time thru Bjorn's videos..

[@youxkio]

@@PsychedMedia So, this heating-cooling system could be from that car alone. But again during the experiment, if turning on the AC the battery also cools down. Makes sense because, in Thailand and Malaysia, the AC is a must because is often hot on the lower lands.

OTA update will fix it.

[@colla555]

[@mikashki]

Now this is dedication in serving consumers, "going the extra mile" to retest something just to learn and teach how to best use the product. 🤩👍 BYD should provide this video (and pay you Bjørn for it ;) to the Atto3 buyers as training on "how to drive long distance with Atto3". At least until they can fix the softwares in the car...

[@davea691]

Wow. Quite an improvement.

[@Lewis_Standing]

The octovalve on the Tesla would allow the battery or motor to be cooled and the cabin heated with that energy

[@hape4]

I drove this car before and I liked it but did not do the charge test. But you basically did what the test driver of BYD should have encountered and you showed them where it's lacking. Now BYD should update it to make the charging go faster.

[@borama7845]

10:55 hypercharger FTW. In 3 years EV I used almost exclusively hyperchargers. They are very popular in Germany. I am still waiting for my first failed session. Big advantage over Ionity/Tritium: Charging starts within a few seconds.

[@Torsten.]

On this BYD you're only able to use 30% (20->50%) of the battery capacity on long runs - that's worse !

[@alexanderroch1030]

You are awesome.

[@audriusa5368]

Atto have option in settings when you car slow speed or stopped, it turn recirculation on to avoid exhaust smell from outside. You can turn it off.

[@coolaa]

Thank you for the investigation 😊, this car is not designed optimal 😕

[@albeja56]

Regargind fogging, recirculation is the culprit. In my Kia EV6 (which you mentioned also) the car started recirculation, by default, automatically always when going into tunnel (the car assumes it's a good idea), and in 10 seconds the windows got fogged all over. If you turn that default off (there's a menu option for 'tunnel recirculation') then NO fogging occurred any more.

[@pantastic85]

This still seems inconsistent with what Atto3 drivers in Australia seem to be getting. I can’t help but think the aftermarket lights in the vents are having some effect.

[@nadnerb2k]

We're also getting 88kW instead of 85. That said there's not a huge number of chargers that do more than 75kW here. Another factor is our speed limit is 100 or 110km/h in most of the country (some 130 in outback Northern Territory etc). So the temperatures are probably not climbing that much to start with. I had no rapidgating on my road trip. It could be that the car has been tuned slightly differently for Australian conditions? The software is definitely different, we get NEDC rather than WTLP for the range estimate for example.

[@locksmack]

⁠@@nadnerb2k the difference is charge speed, although slight, does point to the software/configuration being different. I’m tempted to do a 1000km challenge myself but with 2 young kids and a full time job, yeah it’s not gonna happen. Maybe instead I can do the charge testing that Bjørn did in another video.

[@swecreations]

I really want you to test one of the 50 kWh, 100kW charging vans like the Toyota Proace City Electric, Citroen e-Berlingo, Opel Combo-e, Peugeot e-Rifter and e-Partner. Hopefully they'll do better than the 45kWh, 80kW charging vans like the Nissan Townstar.

[@tzeimet]

Still 25 minutes slower than the E-C4. Say what you like about the Stellantis cars but they have a super flat charging curve and don’t rapidgate.

[@lexkranen9201]

Hey Bjørn, there are a couple of reasons why BYD Blade batteries have a big delta between the warmest and coolest cell. In a Blade battery only the top of the battery pack is cooled. In, for example a Tesla Model 3, the cooling runs through whole the battery pack. Furthermore, if a cell fails in a Blade, the whole battery needs replacement. Model 3 on the other hand doesn't work this way. I quote a popular EV KZbinr: "Tesla for the win!"

[@tobimai4843]

Tesla also uses BYD Blade battery

[@lexkranen9201]

@@tobimai4843 not in all models of course

[@christianzappa3114]

I own an Atto 3 and a software update back at the start of the year introduced the moisture/fogging when parked issue. I managed to get a response from BYD and they informed me that it was an enhancement that was implemented to remove condensation from the HEPA Filter, it will start blowing air once you park and switch off but only if you have run the AC, you can stop this from happening by locking and then unlocking and locking again. It tricks the car.

[@ZurOhki1]

This. The fogging while parked thing is kind of deliberate, the car is trying to get the moisture out of the A/C system. Usually a good thing, but not ideal when you're going to come back in 5 minutes.

[@michalvaner3167]

After seeing this, I just have to wonder… the car is just crazy. Why would it want to heat (and soak) the cabin during a charge? Why does it run the fans when nobody is in there (and not when there's someone in there)? Why does it need to cool down the cabin to also cool down the battery? What were the engineers thinking? 😲 The list of things not to do or to do not to anger the thermal system seems extensive.

[@decimal1815]

I would stay clear of this model personally, mostly because it's not particularly cheap and seems only half finished in terms of features and updates.

[@danielvanced5526]

Unlike some heat pumps it looks like they've gone for a system that can only heat or cool. Some, like Kia/Hyundai, and Tesla, can do heat & cool at the same time

[@michalvaner3167]

@@danielvanced5526 That's not what I've meant. I mean, „No AC/heating during a DC charge“ or „Slow DC charge if you run AC“ seems like a fair limitation. What I'm not getting is why the car wants to do anything at all with the cabin if its DC charging and nobody is in there. _That_ part makes no sense. Again, in case it wants to cool down the battery, it could turn off the AC for a while. Or not and wait for the driver to turn it off. But why does the driver need to turn the AC _on_ for the cabin to cool down the battery? That also makes no sense.

[@mishka5152]

Hei Bjørn! I dont belive the stop in charging has something to do with vibrations on Ionity chargers. I have the same on my BYD Han and I have 8 months experience with this issue because I'm using the car often between Oslo and Berlin. It also happens on hyperchargers at Aral. If I'm driving from my flat in Berlin to the nearest Ionity charger on Berliner ring the car is cold and it does not stop charging. If I'm charging after 300 km. on autobahn it always stop.I belive it has something with temperature to do. And BYD must fix this and several other bugs asap.

[@jimgraham6722]

Same here, we have an Atto and drive it on long trips with no problem at all. I do recommend though setting the aircon before you drive off. I set the fans to 1 and the temp to 19C. If I need more heat in winter I use seat heating. I haven't encountered any fogging problem, but have heard of people who have. I have encountered this in ICE cars when the aircon drain has become blocked, sometimes by freezing up. However, I suspect in most cases it is people running the system in recirc mode.

Does a Mercedes EV rapid-gate if you if you push it and run AC while DC-charging?

[@apterachallenge]

It's crazy that you can't just direct more cooling to the battery when it is needed, and less to the cabin. Maybe BYD needs an Octovalve? Also, if you were to drive a little slower to reduce drag (and energy consumption), would that affect your final average speed result much? Or is it better to drive a bit faster, and then charge a little longer? There has to be some optimal speed you can drive at, to get the best result.

[@yhfsywfit]

From other EV challenges I think it depends on the recharge speed. I was just watching an out of spec video yesterday (las vegas to Colorado) and Kyle worked out that the charging speeds were so high on the cars they were driving that going slower was of no benefit, but they were charging at 150-250 kWs

[@boogle55]

I looked under the bonnet of one recently and it looks like there's an Octovalve. Don't know if it's a design flaw, or a software issue?

[@apterachallenge]

@@boogle55 Bjorn actually went into that later in the video, and its a seven-valve setup, not 8 valves.

[@apterachallenge]

@@yhfsywfit Yes that makes sense. If you are recharging at a significantly higher rate of miles per hour than you can legally and safely drive the car, even with the extra inefficiency brought on by extra drag and rolling resistance, you are winning by going faster then stopping to recharge for a bit longer.

[@gregchristie2763]

Apparently a scheduled OTA update will stop the vehicle turning on climate Auto mode when started too, as this is a huge PITA.

[@ianemery2925]

Last video, I commented on what can cause the windows to steam up, but I forgot to mention the ways I have found to best clear them. You can buy bags of a zeolitic compound (posh kitty litter), that can absorb lots of moisture out of the air - useful if the carpet underlay is wet. Best of all, these bags can be baked in an oven and then reused. For max clearing of fogging without the above - A/C clear the windscreen, then have the heating on maximum temp and speed for the footwells, and crack open the REAR windows around 10-15 mm. Both can take days if the underlay is really wet. I once accidentally left the moonroof open on a car, and we had torrential rain overnight; the water was sloping over the sills when I opened the door, next morning.

[@michaelmortensen7662]

How to solve battery warmgate: Create human coldgate!

[@Tomaskom]

I think it fogs because you're not warming the air that goes inside enough... Colder air has less moisture carrying capacity than warmer. So if you warm it up, it can defog even if it's 100% humidity outside. Setting AC to low temp goes against this and even a bit of moisture from your breath accumulates... Even worse if it would actually cool, then the relative humidity of that air increases, and recirculation is absolute killer because moisture can only increase from your breath. Setting (non-recirculated) airflow only on the windshield at higher fan speed could help a bit even with low temp set. Still, fogging when heating and you are out of the car is strange, even if it recirculated.

They also need a lot of extra options to match the basic spec of the Model Y RWD and end up costing way more. Oh and I do think the Tesla's excel in many other ways too: efficiency, travel time, software updates, safety scores, trip planning, charging infrastructure, to name but a few.

Well Huawei was better right before the US put the ban. They were already No.1 in smartphone sales that year. Also even today Huawei's own OS is still way more feature rich than either Android or IOS

@@bilgyno1 Except there's no reason to match a Model Y. That's the issue with Tesla, the base model is too expensive in order to cut cost. Unfortunately, that can also be said about all these EVs. All of them are too well equipped for no reason. We really need EVs at $20K or less. $10k or less for urban commuters.

You do realise that BYD are the best battery manufacturers in the world and have been doing it for a long time? They will catch up soon enough in the surrounding frameworks of a car.

[@slipperygrenade3802]

Shites! Wish these videos came out 2 weeks earlier. Everyone spend 10k more, buy a Model 3 and be done with it!😢

[@gerbre1]

This is a beta test car with many work to do by BYD.

[@LoneWolf-wp9dn]

theyve already sold tons of them in asia how much beta can it be?

[@gerbre1]

@@LoneWolf-wp9dn At least the moisture and the battery cooling issues should be fixed. I haven’t seen foggy windows for years in my Ioniq Classic.

Too many screens in these ev's your not supposed to use a mobile because of distraction yet all these ev's have screens all over the place it's not good for safety folk should be looking at the road ahead behind and at the sides

I don't think that when you use a fossil car you'd turn off heating for better fuel consumption

[@wgemini4422]

Nope, they are so inefficient to begin with.

[@LoneWolf-wp9dn]

TLDR: avoid... yes pay 10k extra for a model 3 and dont deal with this shit... im all for geeking out on the settings and efficiency but this is going into punishment territory

[@wgemini4422]

Shrug, you could pay more to get a Rolls Royce too. Different cars for different people.

[@elektrischunterwegscom]

For the price the car is just shitty. Go buy a Model Y SR and be happy.

[@samusaran7317]

Nah

[@wgemini4422]

It is overpriced atm for sure. Still, more competition is always better. Model Y would have been a lot more expensive without the Chinese car makers on their heels.

About 1.86 million people in 2022, growing fast.

[@adventhope4796]

I am actually more amazed at the range of 525km and 610km. Are those after each pit stop without any charging in between? If yes, how did you get those range?

[@Glame33]

Bjorn, hello, i saw you recently at tesla charging in Vestby, how can i contact you for cooperation?
