It was once said electric vehicles would never take off because of the concerns people had around their cost, range and reliability…an unsurprising take for an industry that has largely relied on fossil fuels to power various modes of transport for the last 100 years.

Behaviour change is a slow-burn [no pun intended], but electric vehicles have come a long way in the last 20 years. BYD is here to give you confidence in your new energy vehicle purchase.



Setting a new era for electric vehicles, here’s how BYDs ultra-safe blade battery, combined with its super charged electric motor, will exceed your everyday driving needs.

1. BYDs electric vehicles use a lithium-ion battery-powered electric motor and can be recharged from conventional power outlets in your home, on the roadside or at a carpark-based charging station. The energy produced by regenerative braking is also redirected into the battery.

2. BYDs electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe CO2 emissions.

3. If 100% renewable energy such as solar power is used to recharge the batteries, the power is free.

4. BYDs ATTO 3 will deliver a range of up to 480km* (N.B the average Australian drives 36.4km per day*).

5. With smoother transmission and far fewer parts, compared to the mechanical complexity of a combustion-engine vehicle, maintenance needs are low.
