- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2022
- A matter of hours after collecting our new BYD Atto 3 from Andrew Simms Auckland BYD, we hit the road, visiting a number of @chargenetnz4010 chargers and even a sneaky charge on a Tesla unit.
Time pressures mean this video is a little rough! But hopefully the BYD faithful love it!

The BYD Atto 3 is an awesome Ev. I took delivery of my Blue Atto 3 last Friday here in South Australia, I'm customer no 2 in my state, my brother is customer no 3, he picked up his White Atto 3 up on Monday just gone.
I have fitted a full set of carpet floor mats, A carpet cargo mat and a dash mat all black but with blue trim that I purchased from Aliexpress.
On Monday I changed the tyres to Continental Ecocontact 5 XL tyres that are specifically designed for Evs.
The tyre size is identical to the tyres already fitted to the Atto 3. I also had blue colour coded mudflaps fitted to my blue Atto 3. My brother is buying the tyres off me that were originally fitted to my Atto 3.
On Friday I'm having all the windows tinted ready for summer.
Please send me the aliexpress link for mats. How do they fit in the car?
@@MzzzzCateArcher look for Atto 3 accessories there. the link automatically gets deleted here.
@@MzzzzCateArcher you want right hand drive when making your selection.
@@Peter-vn8ue thanks Peter. You happy with the accessories purchased?
BYD pretty good on range . I believe in Australia they can get more range due to more straight roads as compared with Newzealand more hills and curved roads.
Kiwis need to learn how to build straight roads
Actually you get better economy the slower you drive in ev’s, unlike ice cars, which get better economy if you travel on overdrive at highway speeds. It may be worth putting a gearbox in ev’s to solve this issue, because no point in having that extra torque available at high speeds - no- one needs to do burnouts at 100 kmph.
@@alkhan2745 If only the media and politicians were as well informed as you. So much crap is being spouted by TV and other people.
@@thegentlearts8182 it's naturally how it is with the land formation
Terrific….Looking forward to my blue extended range in Perth
What’s the range of the extended version over here?
@@JamesBryant4 420km I believe
I’ve ordered one a few days ago. I feel it’s going to be a long wait.
Congrats on your new car snd thanks for sharing ‘real’ information on the BYD Atto 3.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
Great review, and i saw more Atto 3 on the road already in last few days.
That USB-c port with PD is great! I haven't heard of any other car doing that. On a 2019 tesla, if you plug more than two or three devices into the USB, it gets flakey... not much power, had to disconnect the game controllers, and only plug in when using them, otherwise my USB drive would drop, and no recording of camera video (sentry mode.)
Thanks so much for sharing all your videos👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺. From your first BYD video to this one; there all informative educational and have real life entertainment !!!! Really looking forward to your next TH-cam , please keep them coming.!!!!! My ‘white’ BYD comes in December in Australia. { you fellows in NZ are always just in front ie New Year’s Eve [lol]} and the ‘bloody’ rugby!!!!
I live in the country, northern NSW, so this was the perfect video for me. Especially the realities of your informative (not a nerd to want too learn information and specs you provide!! Lol) guide me to the realities of my future car in a different environment; I can take note of what you have shown and try to apply that to my country driving environment ; my climate is slightly hasher and hotter than yours ( it’s not a competition lol)! {we average 28 plus !!!! in summer and 18 in winter, few more pot holes and dirt roads & driving near 100km from our town to the coast {west to east} the elevation goes from 100m to sea level, less north to south!!! , 5% of driving will be at 115kph of hwy driving, 35% @ 100kph hwy driving , 40% 80kph hwy driving {with the occasional pot hole!!!😱😱😱} and 20% ‘country’ city driving so it appears up-to 300-340 kms??? @ 17w-22w per 100km{ is that the correct term or concept to use????) not for 420kms plus I guess you can achieve in city driving IS THE REALITY OF WHAT MY DRIVING DATA WILL BE. THATS OK, WITH THE BYD AT NEAR 1/2 $$$COST compared to the top end Teslas and other good brands, and EVEN more importantly it is more than competitive, arguably the best, in its class & above, I understand it now has a 5 star safety rating, it has many features founds in top quality EV’s and in some cases $1000’s plus, less new govt $$rebates; SO YES EV AND ESPECIALLY BYD Atto 3 has BECOME a real OPTION 🎉
Now the govt just have to take a $$zero of the price tag & we all would own one LOL 😊😱😊
Last weekend we had a regional EV exhibition showing every car available or coming soon lol, in Australia. { That Porsche Shapped 911 EV looks pretty cool!!!!) in fact nearly every single car looks very very cool. No more 2005 Prius style!!. I think the tricks is to give the interior something amazing, yet familiar , something you don’t need a pilot’s license to drive, BUT WHAT WE except from a futuristic looking car ( nothing to out there, quite yet!!!) same as the exterior, yet , still making us feel comfortable both inside and out AND THE BYD, FOR ME, FULFILS ALL MY SIMPLE NEEDS; IT LOOKS VERY IMPRESSIVE!! A simple car to get from A to B, no fuse, no issues, easy to drive like a video game, lots of modern tech & safety features and ‘child proof’ to dive, a car that moves but not a sports car (0-100 km in 7.3 sec was a hotted up rocket or a European sports car when I was in the 70’s 80’s, now its in a suv WT??????
I got to feel your touch of the BYD Atto3. It’s not a BMW or Mercedes but for what it is, it is more than perfect. I just need something simple easy to drive with all the modern safety equipment, just to drive me to work comfortably, to sit on the highway for 30 minutes @100 km an hour at 4 am in the morning and have that lane assist to help me if need be, I hope not but you understand !!!! And I’m a little fellow so size wise it was perfect. the seats felt plasticky but I don’t care they were very comfortable And the layout look terrific.
I had know interest n or idea about EV‘s , until about 6 weeks ago. Never thought of a EV because in real real life i live in the country ( 230km for a charge WT??? Even up-to 300kms was no good, & yes $70-$80 gets you your 500-700km ? Of range, if you have $70-$80k but to get a real 420, I have seen Chinese videos get 480-510 !!!???!!! Petrol is now $250’a week to get to work. A friend told me about BYD and its relationship with Toyota and Tesla and all the markets they are successful in AND THEY MAKE CARS!!!. After watching every BYD Atto 3 in every language, even though I only speak one of them ( they have pictures0) I put my order in straight away for my BYD Atto 3 extended range.
That’s enough essay, simply thanks for great video, look forward to continuing the journey!!!
You could actually fly to NZ and rent one from Europcar to get a taste before yours arrives. :)
I enjoyed your vid. Was good to hear your views. I normally struggle with 'long' vids....attention span isn't good, but was engaged throughout👍
Thankyou🤠
BYD provide the best reliablity of EV cars.
Shame about that crappy interior
Nice work. Gonna bookmark this and watch it tonight.
Being in the UK I had to keep looking up the Kms to miles. But it was a good test as I'm looking at this car for my family. Thanks.
Great video mate!!!
Great review. Perfect real world driving instead of short stint journalist type stuff.
Nice video, good to know that the charging rate is good in comparison to it's rivals which surprises me, thought that the MG would've been up there, cheers!
We are comparing that charge speed to our 44.5kWh MG. We have yet to charge-test the 50kWh model.
Nice work. Found this very imformative. :)
Hi Uncle Rob here love my atto 3 just got my my driving licence clearance to drive just got theEV to load unit too just did a 4person trip to the lake and back 2 charges and 340 km left gom thanks Richard any time you want to drive the train you can
Great video. Not many reviews that show the Atto 3 at night
look, I own a m3lr and it doesn't always get huge charge rates unless you are using it after it has pre conditioned the battery. Most of the time if I use chargefox here in oz, it does not much more than what you got.
the only exception to that was a trip I did to the US recently and hired same car and used a V3 charger and achieved 248kwh.... once only out of 30 chargers mostly V2. I have been closely looking at the atto3 for my wife and I have found yourvideo on this awesome 👌 thanks so much.
Atto3 has heat pump,as same as tesla
NZ seems well prepared for the use of EV with her charging stations!
Australia lagging behind as usual
Easier with a relatively narrow country - but still not great outside Auckland and feeder cities.
Good stuff
Awesome mate
Great video. I would have liked more information about the drive and car apart from range and charging speed. I love that you found that it can charge a laptop, that's very cool. I get my Atto 3 next week
Noted! We have more content planned. This was within the first 48 hours of getting the car. We have a previous walkthrough video :)
All BYD EVs come with v2l and for higher optioned plug in models.
Do not buy Chinese cars, poor quality, technology theft Europe, America and Japan!
Well done great presentation I live on the kapiti coast and pick up my atto 3 next week .so you answered a lot of questions for me
Lot of people talk about range or comfort but few about software..
How it is and does it reset your setting to default after turning off the car?
I did my deposit last week. Delivery is expected in March/April, so I'm so excited 😊
That is great. You will love it.
LFPs are very efficient!
How was the wind noise on the road. I've been getting a far bit of wind noise, but less road noise if that makes sense.
Would you mind telling me please, how many does atto 3 do with full charge? On motorways and in the city?
BYD very good.
Ever heard of tap to focus..? 🤔☝️
17:12 Kia Ora Uncle Rob!
Can you charge the car while car is on? I've noticed your headlights are on. Also, do you have to keep the door closed to keep charging?
you can charge the car while everything is functional.
Can you test 10%-90% on dc charge (180kw)? please.
Just like tesla Bjorn testing charging comparison.
interesting, thanks
Thanks for video.
Have 2 question: does it have V2H charging? 1. Can I power my home with car's battery?
2. How many kilowatts does it take to be fully charged? Assuming 60kwh battery will take 60 kilowatts of electricity to be fully charged?
Will appreciate your answers.
1) it has V2L. No CCS car has V2H at this stage but it’s being worked on. 2. Unclear. Likely more than 60kWh as it is a 60kWh usable unit.
@@EVsBeyond thank you very much.
Thumbs up.
How does the car handle in wet roads? And have you taken the car to Mt. Ruapehu during winter? Any handling issues?
Car handles fine. Certainly aimed more at comfort than handling. Mulling a set of new Bridgestones which I think will enhance things a little.
Can you do a video of the BYD interior at night with the different ambient lights colors. Thanks.
Yes I can
good point. Do you know, i havent seen a single youtube review that describes the ambient lights in the cabin. This is the first video which i saw it, and when i drove the actual car
hey! thanks for the awesome review. I ordered mine here in Israel, expecting it next week. Can you tell about the range? I read some reviews that it can barely reach 320km, while the declared range is 420km. Can you share your thoughts on that?
אהלן אודי,
אני אמנם לא הזמנתי את הרכב, אבל עוקב מקרוב אחרי הנתונים שמגיעים מאנשים שנהגו בו גם בארץ וגם בחו"ל.
אני חושב שהטווח שלו תלוי מאוד ב 3 גורמים:
1) מזג האוויר. הטווח יורד מאוד כאשר חם מאוד. ובארץ חם מאוד בקיץ.
במזג אוויר נעים יותר הוא אכן יוכל להגיע לטווח של 420 ומעלה אפילו.
2) טופוגרפיה - כשנוהגים איתו באיזורים הרריים הטווח יורד, ובמישור הוא קרוב יותר ל 420.
3) אופי הנהיגה - כאשר נוסעים בכביש מהיר מעל ל 100 קמ"ש הטווח יורד. בעיקר בגלל התנגדות הרוח, אבל גם בגלל שיש פחות שימוש בבלמים שמסייע בהחזרת אנרגיה, מה שנקרא רגנרציה.
@@gidonzd תודה גדעון. בוא נראה אני צריך לקבל את הרכב עוד שבועיים, אעדכן אותך. חוץ מזה נוהג היום על ג'ילי גיאומטרי , שזה גם רכב חשמלי. מגיע באמת ל 450 קמ בקלות
How much this will gonna costs in that config?
火车真的很酷
The headlights have auto-high beam don't they? Did you run the heater or heated seats? Love to see the charge curve from as close to 0% as possible to 100% and look at the 10-80% figures particularly. I believe you can play up to 10-20secs of licensed music as there is a EV youtuber in UK, EV Puzzle, his entire title scene uses licensed music but only short bits of a variety of songs and hasn't been copyright struck or de-monetized. Would imagine TH-cam has it written somewhere in their creator policies. The 192Wh/km is not bad for the entire trip. The cost as well be interesting what a average fossil car would do based on current fuel prices in comparison a similar sized SUV to the Atto 3 maybe a Hyundai Tucson perhaps. Going from my Ioniq in 1.5yrs when my lease is up to the Atto 3 though will be abit to get used to the efficiency change but not as bad as it could be.
My diesel Kia would have cost about $250 for the 1400K trip. I would have to stop just as often as I have kids that need to stop at the drop of a hat lol Get my Atto 3 next week
have you seen the new MG4? the MG ZS EV's in New Zealand are 10% cheaper than they are in the UK. if we take the UK MSRP of the MG4 and take 10% then it should cost $44600. take your rebate and you have a $3600 EV.
How does the drive feel compare to a model 3?
To be honest, I have driven this BYD, it is really comfortable, maybe you can go for a test drive, its voice function can make you more convenient during driving.
@@emis6091 I heard its a very comfortable drive. Unfortunately in australia you have to pay a deposit in order to test drive the car. It's kinda dodgy for any prospect customer!
BTW can you lock the car and leave it OK while charging??? Thanks Laurie Tokoroa....
Yes
I think you can with all electric cars. My Ioniq 5 is often left next to Teslas and the odd Leaf.
If it had one pedal driving I would buy one...
Aside from facts and figures, how would you describe the DRIVING experience, SAFETY features, and COMFORT?
I'm a bit lighter than you and fit really snugly into the seat. Also I have no issue with the head rest which is not adjustable, but I have seen comments that it's not ideal.
i test drove the Atto 3. Im short in size, 1.6m. The driving seats are not comfortable for the head and neck. The back seats are super awesome.
I think this is smaller 50 kw battery version
How much?
Please do Kia ev6 review
Sorry. Missed how much the trip cost.
Interesting to see a few nay-sayers on electric cars in the comments. I've had an Ioniq 5 for 12 months and 25,000km. A round-town range of about 460km and 380km on the open road. Maximum charging speed I've seen is 211kW, so 20% to full in about the same time as a pee and a cup of coffee. Yes, one day the batteries will deteriorate (the Leaf has a fairly crude battery and management system), but even then their batteries can be repurposed to use as household batteries for solar charging systems.
Please use kona ev 64kw and atto3 to do a battery life comparison, I believe atto3 must win
Range or battery longevity. Sorry, but the Kona wastes the BYD on range. But then it is more expensive...
@@EVsBeyond Do you have the standard range or long range Atto 3?
The Kona does have superior range and does consistently match the rated range but it doesn't have the LFP battery so the battery is likely degrade quicker than the Atto 3.
@@EVsBeyond Because the long-range versions of atto3 and kona ev have almost the same weight, and the battery capacity is less than 7%, but the electronic control and motor (flat wire motor) technology of atto3 is updated, so I would like to see a comparison of the two cars.
@@MzzzzCateArcher Long range.
Sorry you said 90 odd KwH per 100Km, that is crazy consumption which then equates to Irish cost of almost Euro 40.00 per 100Km??????
Please can you confirm that as I believe that you must of made an error
why do you call it "B Y D" rather than "beyond"?
25kw per 100km ? the car have 24/7 recording option 360 around the car ?
On a cold night at 110kmh and a gradual climb... yes.
Good on ChargeNet for placing chargers around New Zealand but their slow 50kwh chargers should not be billing by the minute, please be honest and only bill for what customers use.
It would be nice if you could get the camera to focus on the screen while your talking about it.
the atto3 shouldn't use 18kw per 100km. that is the kind of number i get on my byd han awd which is a lot heavier and more powerful than the atto3.
how about in winter?
Look at the load it is carrying
How much highway driving do you do?
@@deanstyles2567 when I drive on highway, I keep the speed between 100-110 km/hr, and get below 18kw per 100km. but when I drive on local roads, traffic jams means often time 20km/hr speed. energy consumption is also around 18kw. when I can average 50km/hr for a stretch, I can get just under 16kw. My Han is awd with 363kw max power. it is understandable thirsty.
@@LaowaiDaveJCP in winter, it would be around 21kw. I always run ac at 23 degree and turn on the seat heat. one more thing, my infotainment console and speakers are always busy. either I play music or videos (to keep the kids quite) and I almost always run navigation on the split screen to find the best route under real time traffic.
That’s terrible efficiency. 5.5km / kWh? or 181Wh/km. That gives the LR only 330km range? Assuming it’s 60kWh useable which it’s probably not.
It’s 60.5 usable.
My EV Heatpump uses around 1.8kw while plugged in.
No... instantaeous consumption is kw. Total consumption over an hour = kwhr.
NZ has better charging network than Australia.
The EV Age: When charging, software and range become the most important topics. I´m doing 1.200 km trips six times a year. Good luck using an EV for that. You will need three more days 😂
There's a video on TH-cam (link below) of two people driving from Sydney to Melbourne (900km), one in an Ioniq5 and another a petrol Hyundai Tucson. The Ioniq5 arrived less than an hour after the Tucson. Sounds like a long trip is perfectly doable with suitable charging infrastructure.
th-cam.com/video/iSlZMikqvXQ/w-d-xo.html
I agree! I'm struggling with the fact that Taupo to Auckland is only just capable on 1 charge and that's with 1 person and some minor luggage, so 2 people + proper luggage means another stop...please, are we really kidding ourselves thing that these are the way to go? I hope loke hell you never need to tow anything, your range will plumet to 50% or less, that will make for fun times. Also what happens when your having to que for and hour or more to use said charging stations when we've all had to convert, then don't start on the road user charges that will apply to EV's as the Govt is loosing tax on fuel! Then how are we going to create the new energy required for all these cars? We struggle with power in the summer now. Can wait for the future 😀
you can buy a byd dmi car.
@@grantmarris7823 Exactly
slow charging poor range EV's seem very inconvenient on roadtrips
you're a dag. "If I can work out how to open it." Next shot, it's open but the learning how to, remains a secret.
Where in the video is this? I want to see me being funny!
Its like buying a smart phone which you. cannot update operating system or purchase apps. In a year or two it will be toast, a big reason why the horrible depreciation
If the car was priced at $35K as originally promised, maybe consider, but now at over $55K, lower overall cost to purchase quality Korean or Tesla with much better quality safety performance and lower cost of ownership
This car calls“元 plus”in china.
Mg es ev
Network data for system updates not your fun
Good video. Efficiency is crap basically compared with my Kona. Another reason to not buy it
What's open road range on the 64kwh Kona, am guessing it's pretty slick. Then again for same level of spec as the BYD it's $30k more expensive which seems crazy for what it is
How much is a Kona?
even Hyundai have fanbois nowadays? lol
@@LaowaiDaveJCP Why would they not?
@@LaowaiDaveJCP it’s very well known that Hyundai have a very efficient BMS, world leading.
who cares
You've got a atto 3
And want someone
To pay for it
So make a video
Horrible charge rate! Complete crap software and hardware. More important is the safety issues including crap traction control making driving in rain or slippery roads dangerous especially curves. With the atrocious depreciation for Chinese cars, not car I would consider
Stupid
Correct, the depreciation on this car will be horrendous.
