Thanks for another great EV reveiw Chris. A good car, but let down by not having adaptive cruise control. 500 kms real world driving range is impressive!
Probably won't be imported en-mass anyway, so whilst this was fun to do, I don't think I'll bother. I strive to be honest and tell it like it is so - so this car (like all cars), have their pros and cons - no car is perfect.
Yeah, about that free charging, please don’t promote, otherwise we will have more envy! Great video and may you win the high court challenge. Best of luck
This is the perfect vehicle for an UBER or taxi Driver. Cheap to buy, cheap to operate, cheap to maintain, large enough to carry luggage and appears to have and interior that can have spills cleaned with a wet cloth. You could really get a jump on the completion.
Great video Chris. Looks like a very basic but capable EV built for a specific purpose as Taxi like you mentioned but also a value workhorse. Will be interesting to see the resale value given the very limited number of these bought into Oz.
I don't think they are not bringing anyone into Australia Chris, it's old technology and built on an Ice platform. All future BYD vehicles for Australia will be built on the dedicated 3.0 BYD EV platform.
LOL! Well you're right about that. Personally, I don't mind not having a spare tyre. Fingers crossed, last one occurred about a decade ago. If I did carry one, that would have been a lot of wasted energy transporting something for the "just in case situation".
hi nice car, nice price, nice video, hummm, when its charging, in house, at night, its possible to limit the charge, for a example, to 80 per cent???? regards.
Special import, didn't have to meet ADR for Australia... which come to think of it, cruise control wouldn't be standard anyway. I guess its a primarily a taxi OS, so they don't want one in it?
Great video not just of the car but of where you filmed! Let's hope the local councils and organisations in the Western suburbs of Melbourne see this! Why .... because there are none or close to no public or private charging stations there...

LOOKING GOOD Chris____the BYD is pretty good too! Thx for the review and for sharing!
One common complaint is that EVs are too expensive but at this price, at least one third of the cars sold in Australia are more expensive.

Thanks Chris. On their website they only advertise the Atto3 - slightly less range, same price but oodles of extras.
Because all the E6 were already sold out since last year !!!!! Only 45 were shipped to Australia

Price correction - $43,000 drive away!
Great affordable upgrade family car, just genius. Well done BYD.
Yes fab , look at this th-cam.com/video/zrNLz2tX3ys/w-d-xo.html
This car is slowly gaining popularity in other countries too like in Nepal.
No cruise and noisy cabin is definitely a deal breaker. Damn it 🙄
No cruise control that’s bad !
Not sure if atto3 has it
3000 cycles is more like 30+ years. Who drives over a million km in 10 years lol?
Awesome 👍🏼
If not available in Australia, why review it?
The importer was testing the waters, so might in the future.
Buy Tesla, not communist cars !
its ugly...i want their Dolphin car
Maybe it's because this is a people mover/MPV so you don't want it
Why not list the pro vs cons and compare it to the close competitioner. I see your review is overly presimistic view.

Indeed, the streets of Shenzhen, China, are full of E6 taxis
This is use as taxi in HK and Singapore, the 1st gen and the 2nd gen of e6
This is designed for taxi, that is by is low cost and for work horse
Great video Chris. Looks like a very basic but capable EV built for a specific purpose as Taxi like you mentioned but also a value workhorse. Will be interesting to see the resale value given the very limited number of these bought into Oz.
No cruise control? thats very disappointing.
I use cruise control all the time for 60 km/hr speed limit
wahoo finally a spare wheel !!!
Having that single fixed rear seat is an epic fail for this car in AU/NZ market. Renders that form factor pointless.
th-cam.com/video/zrNLz2tX3ys/w-d-xo.html Chinese EV's are deadly !

Yeah, just these 15 examples as they don't have to do local testing and ANCAP rating. EV Direct is going with the BYD Atto 3 instead.
Dude has clearly never used a run-flat tire kit.
LOL! Well you're right about that. Personally, I don't mind not having a spare tyre. Fingers crossed, last one occurred about a decade ago. If I did carry one, that would have been a lot of wasted energy transporting something for the "just in case situation".
You're a bit precious about things like radar cruise control etc aren't you.
But you can’t buy one. That price was for the 15 or so that Evdirect brought in.
nice ev👍👍👍👍
A physical fan and air con control is safer.
Singapore is using this BYD e6 as taxis.
Looks like it would be a perfect taxi
hi nice car, nice price, nice video, hummm, when its charging, in house, at night, its possible to limit the charge, for a example, to 80 per cent???? regards.
Yes it can! Unlike my MG ZS EV... LOL
China alway best 'cheap
Can the rear seats able to recline
Android? Which version?
Its a cheap good car omg
If only you could buy one…
Thanks
Thanks Chris
Aussie dollars.
I notice no split rear seat. So - does the rear seat fold down at all?
Nope, stuck in place!
Do the seats fold down, what was the space like if they do ?
Nope fixed
Where is this for sale? I can't find it anywhere!
The owner did it under the special import scheme. #wouldn’trecommend
why doesn't it have cruise control and auto hold? did they get cut ob the way to australia? weird.
Special import, didn't have to meet ADR for Australia... which come to think of it, cruise control wouldn't be standard anyway. I guess its a primarily a taxi OS, so they don't want one in it?
@@chrisvanderstock all e6 comes with cruise control standard spec in china.
Is there a place where we can go to see the free charges for the south Easter suburbs of melb?
Not sure what you mean, sorry
@@chrisvanderstock that’s okay charge fox is a free charge network within Melbourne.
hey Chris can a 6 ft person sleep in this
Definitely not. Rear seats don't fold down.
@@chrisvanderstock thats insanity hey. the whole point of a wagon is its universality hopefully byd get that sorted b4 they land them in oz
@@flamingstag2381 BYD's Atto 3 seats do fold down but I'm not sure if it would be six foot tho.
@@songforguy1 thank you that regains my interest
Is ev direct still going to distribute these or have they another electric MPV planned or for that matter the T3 van they were talking about
Thanks
I'm not sure sorry - they were brought in via the special import scheme. I'll ask the owner how he got it and come back to you.
Would also be very interested in the back up, have an ATTO 3 on order but not impressed with the MyCar tie up. Keep up the videos, thanks Rogeros.
Great video not just of the car but of where you filmed! Let's hope the local councils and organisations in the Western suburbs of Melbourne see this! Why .... because there are none or close to no public or private charging stations there...
