BYD’s cheap electric vehicles coincide with government-backed low-cost finance loans for clean car buyers.
The first electric vehicle priced under $30,000 is now on sale in Australia, with a stripped-back version of the Dolphin vehicle from Chinese carmaker BYD heading a growing list of lower-cost clean cars for Australia.
“Our objective is to support Australian consumers in the cost-of-living crisis and to help Australians in the transition to the new world of electric vehicles,” said EVDirect chief executive David Smitherman. BYD also announced this week it would bring a new electric SUV, the Sealion 7, to Australia from mid-February to sell for a price under $60,000, which sets it up as a direct rival for the popular Tesla Y.“We want to make sure we offer a really compelling proposition for the average Aussie,” he said.The “essentials” range is now open to orders expected to be delivered in Australia from March.
The first deliveries of BYD’s plug in hybrid electric ute, the Shark 6, will start next week, with the company reporting strong sales of 5500 placed on order to date.
