As a person that lives in the United States and Thailand it kills me that Americans can't get any of these amazing Chinese vehicles. I also see how quickly these EV's are taking over in Thailand.

[@undisclosedthai]

1. Although Thailand seems to sell a lot of Chinese EVs, when compared to sales proportions, they are still not very popular. Overall of pure-EV sales (combined all nationalities of brands and cars) in Thailand are still just 11.85% in Jan-Nov 2024. 2. I see that many excellent EV brands have not entered Thailand, such as Arcfox, Xiaomi, or brands that collaborate with Huawei. The small and inexpensive models such as Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, Chery QQ Ice Cream, Baojun Yep, etc have not enter Thailand too. If Toyota and Honda do not ignore the Thai EV market, and do not sell EVs in very limited quantities, I assure that EVs in Thailand will sell even better because people will accept EVs from this point (the most trusted car brands, and Japanese as the most trusted nationality of car brand). Toyota and Honda seems to do not care about the Thai EV market makes some people think that EVs are not good or not safe, so they are not become Toyota and Honda's products.

It is estimated that less than 100 vehicles complete the entire journey per year. So it really is a irrelevant example.

Aussie ute buyers interested in electrification will mostly be interested in EREVs. This won't threaten the Shark 6 - BYD understand what Australians want.

[@MetalPhreakAU]

Shark benefit is long range on fuel when needed, but usable EV range. Serves the outback adventuring crowd better than an all EV ute. Still, 450km in the Radar (less if loaded up) is still plenty for local delivery duties. Won't suit everyone but will be a viable option for some. Single phase 6.6kW charging is a bit crap for an all EV car, usually only see PHEV and small battery EVs with that.

[@kaeldotis]

@MetalPhreakAU there's a niche for everyone, but the Shark can suit a large segment of the market and this offering from Geely just won't. Most people will be better served buying a Geely SUV and a trailer.

No one really knows how they’ll hold up if something goes wrong. Sure, they might look impressive, but there’s something unsettling about cars being this cheap. Many Chinese products focus heavily on market penetration without paying enough attention to other crucial factors. This is why I’m skeptical of KZbinrs praising these Chinese brands without evaluating the more essential metrics that truly matter..

[@johnemerson5383]

EV's really don't cut it for what most ute drivers are going to want their vehicle to do. The BYD PHEV is ideal because range doesn't become an issue.

[@johnrowbotham2810]

Good news to have more pick up options Sam. Trouble is here in the UK our new Labour government is trying to screw us over every which way. There will be no income tax relief on pick ups from April. Pick ups will be classed the same as company cars, where you pay a steep tax on the purchase price known as benefit in kind. Farmers, self employed etc will be much worse off!

[@1maico1]

The UK is one of the few places without specific Chinese EV tariffs, just the normal car import tax of 10%. In the EU it's going to be another +18.8% for Geely EV imports.

[@hoyks1]

If you're wanting to travel out of the city, then the range is always going to be an issue. The 6 years road side assist would be nice, but you'll be waiting a while for Roadside Assist to turn up and waiting longer to get sufficient charge to just carry on to the next charger. I'll stick with the onboard generator option thanks.

[@jcmolette1613]

If you have an EV pickup (ute), just put a gasoline or propane generator in the bed (tray) with a connector and there you go. What does a generator with a full tank cost...a few hundred dollars for a decent one. How about a charged up Bluetti, EcoFlow or similar portable power station - which also have available, very thin (5 - 10 millimeter thick) solar panels which can be roof or tonneau mounted with industrial double sided tape. Many options if you want to get off the petroleum to keep your portable power station charged up.

Sounds great, but where the Shark wins is out bush and towing, ie: away from chargers. (Towing with an EV slashes the range drastically.

THAT is why the Shark wins for most people who will go “out of town” even if only just occasionally.

[@dustincleverley6595]

Yes, the more options the better, BUT... the long tray means very long over-hang, which in turn means a poor departure angle and (i suspect) towing issues (it's basically going to cantilever). It's also not a 'real' 4x4 with a ladder frame; it's like the old commodore or falcon utes. It may have "high strength steel", as Sam says, and it uses the battery pack as a structural member, but that's really not the same. So, I'm very keen to drive one, i like the styling, and i love that it's fully electric, but at the moment the Shark seems the better option for me.

Irrespective of an individual’s driving experience - Australia has no future transportation strategy and is dependent on the resource sector and their lobbyists.
