BYD SHARK 6 in AUSTRALIA!

[@zimuli3549]

Congrats! I am absolutely convinced that once you have used this powertrain from BYD, you will never want to drive a conventional ICE again.

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

@@zimuli3549 yep, umm in this video when I said “it’s hard to explain” I was trying to work out how to say what you’ve just said - it’s as simple as that once you’ve driven the unique powertrain setup here in this phev configuration you have absolutely no interest in ICE anymore 🙆‍♂️

[@jasonfields2793]

Ok now we are getting serious.

[@lluow]

BYD should sponsor Shark that makes a good advertisement.

This Ute at 57k before on road's is a bargain.. As fast as a Ford ranger raptor..the interior also looks top notch

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

@@themoreyouknqw3555 I think people’s argument is going to be more about durability and reliability more than anything. The thing I’m behind is with Ironmans upgrades / off road mods BYD claim to continue to support warranty claims within those modifications by Ironman, in the 4wd/camp/touring space that’s a huge bonus. You won’t see other big manufacturers brands doing that, I’ve had first hand experience with Toyota on this front and even their own pre reg addons that failed was not covered in a new 4wd / challenging times but it’s time for a change in the space… this is where it begins. The Chinese have come to party and is listening to Aussie needs and terrain demands, there will be learning curves but every brand had them. The end game is looking strong.

[@themoreyouknqw3555]

@AllTerrainActionEV Indeed..also consider that they have been testing this ute against a ford ranger as a benchmark..the soon available upgrades indicates to me that this vehicle has been put through it's paces and is reliable enough to out do Ford in reliability..in my opinion.. Not to mention that it's 50% cheaper than a raptor offering same performance.. Also the raptor does have independent coil sprung rear end which reduces the towing in par with BYD.. So BYD are in a winner here.. Especially with all the inflation..this ute seems to be great value for money..

[@zhipengxie679]

Great videos, have been seeing your channel since I ordered my BYD Sealion 6. Was thinking to get your suggestion about HEV or EV, when would be the time we use HEV and the time use EV? If you don’t mind answering with your experience

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

HEV anytime > 80km/h, EV anything less than 80km/h. Unless I know I have the range to make it to the destination I will just use EV regardless of speed. If I know for sure I have to do say 250km, and know I wont charge anywhere on that trip, I'll set SOC to 50% then drive in HEV, until I know only 30km left of my trip to get back home and then switch back to EV to maximise the EV range of the trip. 50% is my decision for that type of driving if HEV and long trip so battery stays within optimal range to minimise degredation - 60% would be better but ive decided 50 for me. That been said.. if my day is total 70km distance EV the whole way, and EV MAX mode if I need like to go downto 18% for example just to make it home to avoid turning over the ICE engine for such a short remaining distance home.

[@zhipengxie679]

Thanks mate, most of our Monday -Friday driving are less than 10KM per day. Would go outside to charge like once every two days, so it should be EV mode while on the weekend we go from SouthEast to City, then probably switch to HEV on M3/M1 then EV again after existing HWY

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

@@zhipengxie679 I'm currently gathering footage for a video that will break down how ICE vehicles, particularly automatics, experience efficiency losses due to torque converter slippage. This comparison will make everyone understand why EVs excel at lower, non-highway speeds, thanks to advantages like regenerative braking but also removing that loss of energy from ICE power convertion to wheels which will also cover why ICE vehicles perform less efficiently at slower speeds. BYD’s DMI and DMO systems bring the best of both worlds by leveraging the strengths of both engine technologies. This dual-mode innovation from BYD is setting a new benchmark in efficiency, likely making it one of the top systems available in today’s market (in my opinion). Just remember when you're on the way home and know you will be able to charge again, even if on highway you go to EV for the remaining % of battery to 25% this will maximise savings.

@@rastasrosco1318 I am not aware of this… that’s something that I want to dig into 👀

[@praveenycw]

Sorry for asking this stupid question. I thought I understood the byd shark technology but when I was trying explain to my friend, I got stuck with consistency of shark’s performance regardless of it is coming from fully charged battery or coming from petrol engine. Bottom line is, if my destination is 700km away from the plugging station. Would I get the same level performance through out the trip ?

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

Hard to know with the Shark but the BYD ecosystem is very similar across Shark and Sealion and if we base it on that the Sealion begins to drop off max power around 25-30% battery. Significantly drops off at less than 20%. I have found if you need to do long trips setting SOC to 60% then driving your trip in HEV mode you’ll always have the power available. That been said, if you did a long hill climb I would suspect the onboard generator couldn’t keep up, but without testing this I cannot be sure. Still that been said you’d have to be climbing for 30mins non stop before that would become an issue I would say, just won’t happen.

[@praveenycw]

Ohhhh… I’m a bit confused. I thought the big hype around this Ute was its ability to cover over 700 km on a single charge plus a full tank of petrol. But I’m not sure how useful that would be if its performance is significantly compromised when going a few hundred km off roading

[@praveenycw]

Well I am sure byd thought about it as well. Like you said may be we will have to wait to find out once someone testes it out

[@nagi-springfield93]

Shark using dmo platform which is more advance than the sealion, it would drop some power but pretty sure it should beway less than 10% if the performance is similar to fangchengbao5 which is also using the dmo platform

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

@@praveenycw ​​⁠how is that any different from conventional 4wd? A lot of 4wds double up on fuel usage off road? I can’t see how the Shark would be any different if anything be more efficient at slower speed motions.
