The EV Difference.
If a revolving door of severe weather events and the rise of petrol prices has you thinking about whether it’s time to make a smarter and more responsible choice when it comes to the vehicle you drive, then you’re certainly not alone. Chances are you are part of the two thirds of Australians who agree that our nation should be a world leader in finding solutions to climate change, or the 64 per cent who are in support of all new car sales in the country to be zero emission vehicles by 2035*.
In making the switch for a BYD new energy vehicle, you are doing far more than purchasing a new car. You are making a choice to join a movement that combines innovation, technology and the environment to make a positive impact on our planet and to reduce your cost of living at the same time.
When considering if an electric vehicle is smart for the environment (and the back pocket) it’s a no brainer. A less fuel-efficient car can emit around 3 tonnes of greenhouse gas a year. This equates to roughly three 500m3 hot air balloons. When you compare that to up to zero emissions from an electric vehicle, the thought of purchasing a new fossil-fuelled car just doesn’t make sense.
Then there’s the cost savings**.
