Lets see what your chinese bling looks like in 2 years from now. More importantly, lets see what your chinese bling looks like in 20 years from now, when the RAV is still putting along nicely.

FYI the GWM Ora does have Android Auto, I have the GT and use it all the time.

It was an amazing show, good to see you in Sydney Dave, come back and see us soon.

Until it hits soft ground, the torque is non-existent and the software doesn't even let you try to power out

Great video. Was so disappointed that BYD didn't have more of a showing at the event. As you said they could have displayed their Shark 6 and/or Sealion 7 Vehicle to gain more traction into the market. I get the feeling EVdirect don't want to promote their vehicles. Definitely another missed opportunity with so many new competitors coming to market.

the Deepal EV (Changan) is sort of a China made Mazda bEV / Ford bEV some will perhaps say, due to their joint ventures with the parent company?

Hi David seems that the show may have been a little bigger than Melbournes SUV show but disappointing as you mentioned that the BYD corporate didnt tease out the potential in the Shark 6 and Sealion 7 with a stand. But thats the reality of online sales groups these days. We produced content, Thanks.

Get rid of your horrid background 'music'

0:53 “…wristwatch, wristwatch check…?”

Excellent vlog David. Thanks for THAT INTRO! …was looking around where is an alarm going off

As a regular pick up truck user, presently using a ford ranger wildtrak, this byd model will be my next pick up, its concept of triple power source, can function as full ev and combine ev series with ice, ev with ice acting as a battery charger extending its range, making it none reliant on charging station, and chargeble via ordinary home charger that comes free with the unit, it will my next work pick up.

That EV converted old school Porche, did it have PC water-cooling reservoirs in the back?

Thank you for your time in making this recap of BYD and their history 👍🏻

Shen Jen is how to say the location 🙂

Orders through the roof, even the website crashed.

Thanks for your review. Waiting for the latest 2025 Seal. It has manual vents adjustment and sun shades. One question...what is your average consumption ?

Amazing technology! Can I please get one in us?

Not one criticism just a long advert. Not a review.

Hope they can get away in the final design from that ugly, ugly lidar sensor stuck on the roof. It looks like a Taxi sign. Love the Seal, very nice to drive. Here in the UK it costs around £46,000 or roughly us$60,000 Wow that's a big difference on what the Americans pay. Okay so they probably have to pay sales tax on that but I doubt it will get anywhere close to 60k. Thanks British Government for making it so easy to get into electric cars (sic)

Toyota all day with resale and reliability

Is the blinker stalk on the right?

Any info on cab chassis option?

great video. I wonder if you have to leave the car in accessory mode to power the V2L power outlets in the tray, will the park lights stay on??? I find it impossible in my BYD Seal to have the car on and have these lights turned off. It will become an issue if you want to power a portable fridge or other tools in the tray and the car lights stay on the whole time. Not a good look in a camping ground at night. Also I'm hoping this does not drain the 12 volt accessory battery. As the accessories in the car are still powered via the 12 volt battery.

Seriously looking to purchase one but the following are concerning. The specs say it's only good for a lowly 31 DEGREE SLOPE th-cam.com/video/RhhWnC8BoAQ/w-d-xo.html but there are no details about this being loaded or unloaded. The SAND MODE also seems to be limited to 20 degrees and 130 meters as spotted here th-cam.com/video/RhhWnC8BoAQ/w-d-xo.html

ford price has been down to 64000. Thanks Chinese products. Otherwise cpi could be higher and higher and high.

Can you imagine the complexity of repairs down the line. Just get a full BEV when available.

For people keep on whinging about the 2.5T towing rate BYD is already devolving the Shark 7 based on the newly released leopard 8 with true 3.5T towing capability.

That was perfect! Explained exactly what's going on and made it easily understandable.

nice one! keep it up...

The sound level between voice and music is so drastically different. Need to lower the music volume.

Will BYD release a single cab tray version?

Thanks mate, I’m mentioned this on the FB page and it still seems to be a place of confusion for those wanting to use V2L. Also big one though is running a fridge in the back, do you use 240v that won’t stay on while parked over night or 12v. The 12v start battery is only 15ah. So not enough for it to run a 7a fridge for long amounts of time. But the manual says it will auto turn on the ignition to charge the start battery from the HV battery via Dc to Dc. So maybe.

Understand full power comes from using both engine and electric powertrains together. Would like to see a driving demo of how much power is lost just using either single power train on its own - especially with a load or towing.

Another thing to note is that if you have the vehicle on so that you can use the 240V outlets in the back, it should still be possible to lock the car so you don't have to worry about someone driving off

Greatly informative vid, many thanks mate!!!

Great info in the video, well done👍. Can’t believe it has take. This long for someone to finally measure in between the tub wheel arches, great to hear it can take a standard pallet for a load👍. One of my concerns is the button to open the tailgate and its location. Being on top means it could possibly be damaged by something dragging over the edge of the tailgate, or be have the cover of the button itself be damaged, then possibly letting water into the switch itself. Where I travel I have a lot of the fine dust get into everything, so it would definitely need to have a very sturdy and durable seal on the switch. Is there another way of opening the tailgate, by the remote or a button inside the vehicle itself? I’ve also heard that BYD are already looking at having an option of 3500kg towing rating, as well as a newer 2.0 ltr motor in the near future. Will be interesting to see if and when this will become available. Keep up the great content. 👌🙂

People should point out, it's quite a bit more expensive than the reviews like to mention. Granted I have a canopy on my order and a couple other upgrades but it's $72k drive away. It's not exactly cheap

A Sealion 6 owner here but have to give him an applause! Very good education on the SOC auto/ save setting. Should give Shark 6 buyers some in-depth knowledge of their 🦈 reckon Sealion 6 interested buyers /new owners should watch this too!

Waiting this to come to Japan but I don't know when. I want a cute but aggressive kei-EV car to drive in Hokkaido! Seagull looks awesome!

V2l adaptor is 10a rated with two outlets. If electrician make proper size adaptor with one outlet, will the car supply 6.5kw?

WILL MY BEERS BE COLD IN THE MORING? If your fridge runs at 2amps a hour for 14 hours it would use 336Wh of energy (2A×12V=24Wh, 24W×14hours=336Wh=0.336kWh) and given the specs of the cars Energy consumption @ 212Wh/km. having you fridge on overnight would be like driving under 2km. long story short BEERS WILL BE COLD IN THE MORNING. happy campers. A 12v 300Ah battery is equivalent to 3.6kWh @12v. I cant see the voltage of the Shark battery so I'm assuming its 12v but probably higher.

please ask them and review about the cargo cover options on their website

Loud music and low voice are not a great mix .... Or maybe I am getting old. Get that Shark off my lawn!

I enjoyed your previous video explaining how the drivetrain interfaces with the ICE, it was very good. What I don't understand is why you need to hold the SOC higher if you want to go off-road.

Does anyone know what the amperage from the main outlet (not the AC outlets which appeared to be 10amps) is? I am trying to get 15amps (3.6kW) out to charge a BYD home battery stack when needed. Usually, a 32amp backup generator is used to charge the 20kW battery stack when it goes low in bad weather but as the inverter is only 5kW, a 3.6kW/ via 15amps from the Shark would work fine.

Someone has to ask: Would I be able to power my Caravan using the V2L? My van would only need a couple of lights, TV & a fridge for 3-4 hours before bed. If so, this is a fricking game - changer, & we would rarely pay Caravan Park fees ever again. Win 🏁

2:47 Your diagrams shows 1. EV mode and 3. series mode. But where are the 2. parallel mode and 4. engine direct drive mode? So far I haven't seen any english speaking media can clearly explain how the DM-O or DM-I of BYD works.

Actually, FWD EVs are at their most efficient when crawling along in offroad conditions, so they do not need giant batteries. Have a look at the Landrover EV conversions done by Classic EVs.

No one talks about regen and single peddle drive
