The newest auto manufacturer to emerge in Australia is on a mission to make electric vehicles more affordable, and it has set its sights on Tesla as its primary competitor. In spite of its unusual name, the BYD Atto 3 is a mid-sized electric SUV that early adopters predict will be the next big thing. Taking a left-hand drive prototype for a short suburban drive reveals that the Atto 3 has the potential to garner a significant fanbase.
A gently sloping roofline, small LED headlights, and aerodynamic wheels distinguish the Atto 3’s exterior appearance, which is based on BYD’s current Dragon Face 3.0 design language. A whimsical fitness and musical inspired concept are carried through to the inside of the Chinese-built EV. This includes red strings on the door cards that are meant to resemble guitar strings, dumbbell-shaped air vents, and a two-tone blue and white interior as standard.
In contrast to other front-wheel-drive EVs with comparable power outputs, the 150kW/310Nm electric motor feels sprightly right out of the gate owing to computer intervention. BYD claims a 0-100 km/h time of 7.3 seconds. According to the cautious WLTP standard, the Atto 3 has a 320-kilometer (km) range whereas the extended-range Atto 3 has 420-kilometer (km) range.
Starting at $44,381 before taxes and fees, it is the most affordable all-electric SUV in Australia. It has a longer range, a 12.8-inch rotating infotainment system, and a lot of safety features as standard.

The larger the capacity of the battery, the longer it will take to charge. This also applies to the level of depletion of the battery (e.g. an empty battery will take longer to fully charge than a half-full battery).
It is recommended to keep your EV battery charging status between 20-80% full. When charging outside of this range, it is known to cause charging to slow down.
Maximum charge rate of the EV compared to the Maximum rate of the ChargePoint:
The interplay between the maximum charge rate that an EV is able to consume and the maximum output a ChargePoint can supply is crucial in understanding charging times. If your EV has a maximum charge rate of 7kw and you are using a 22kw ChargePoint, your EV will not charge any faster than 7kw. Equally if your vehicle is able to consume a charge rate of 11kw, however you are using a 7kw ChargePoint your EV will charge at 7kw.Â
When charging an EV it has been found that colder external temperatures make the charging process slightly longer, as electricity flow is reduced. This consequence is more apparent through the use of Rapid chargers. However due to the generally warm Australian climate this isn’t an issue we are greatly affected by.
TCL (Trickle Charge Lead): These leads are primarily supplied with the vehicle at the time of sale. They are mainly used in PHEV Hybrid (Electric/Petrol) run vehicles and are not designed nor are they capable of fully charging the battery overnight.
