    You don't need to stress about this catching fire. The BYD LFP batteries are the safest on the market. They have smashed their EVs into walls, rammed massive nails into the battery packs and there has been no fires. More likely to have a fire in an ICE car than a BYD LFP battery. I am considering replacing my Triton with the BYD Shark. We are about to buy the BYD Seal next month.

    You guys need to get across this technology. It doesn’t work how you first think. When you are cruising on the highway or the flat and down hills, the engine is charging the battery. You can run on electric only for 80ks if the battery is full. This could be from plug in or its own 1500cc generator. 0-100 in 5.6 seconds is not too shabby. Fuel efficiency is very good if relying on the engine/generator. If you can plug in from home, you can do daily commute without using any fuel.

      Well said, yes guys think of it like a diesel Loco, the vehicle is always powered only by electric motors & then the Engine kicks in only when told to by the computer ( and you can choose the charge level you want it to do that.), to recharge the batteries , so you are always driving by electric propulsion , & so you always have instant toque on tap !, this is how all hybrids should be ! and as with this all hybrids should be plug in rechargeable as well, that way you have the option of always running on electric if your trips are short enough !, but also the long range of driving on Petrol when needs be , this is the way to go in our in near term future for sure !.

    Lol, you guys need to understand hybrids aren't just hybrids . The 1.5T is designed to charge the battery and kicks in a certain points. Ute designed by a tech company vs what people have been driving to date is a Nokia 3310 vs a smartphone. 🤷

    When you think that a 1.5-liter engine might be too small for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) like this one, it's because the way the system works isn't immediately obvious. This DMO PHEV uses a system where the engine acts more as a generator than as a direct power source for the wheels.
    Here’s how it works:
    When the battery level drops to a certain point, the engine kicks in, but instead of driving the wheels directly, it runs at most efficient constant, high speed (though we don’t need to worry about the exact RPMs). The main job of the engine at this point is to generate electricity. This electricity does two things: it charges the battery and directly powers the electric motors that drive the wheels.
    The vehicle has electric motors that can produce a maximum of 320 kW combined. However, you don’t use this full 320 kW all the time. The power demand varies depending on your driving conditions. For example, in most normal driving situations, you might only be using between 30 kW and 300 kW which is only in rare and extreme cases-like overtaking at high speeds with a heavy towing that you would approach the maximum power output.
    The engine generates a constant power output (let’s say around 120 kW). This is more than enough to handle the average power demands of the vehicle, which might typically be around 80 kW. The extra power can go towards recharging the battery.
    When you press the accelerator , you’re controlling the speed and power of the electric motors, not the engine. The engine continues to run at its optimal, constant speed, efficiently generating power regardless of how fast you’re driving.
    Even though a 1.5-liter engine might sound small, it’s actually very efficient in this setup. It doesn’t need to be large because it’s not directly driving the wheels-it’s providing steady, constant reliable power to keep the car moving at all demand conditions and the battery charged. The electric motors handle the actual driving, allowing the engine to operate in its most efficient range all the time.

    I am truly surprised these guys had never heard of BYD before. And the amount of news about the Shark for almost a year now has been enormous.
    The 1.5L engine is primarily for charging the battery. The electric motors do most of the driving. The ICE can assist with the driving when required.

      @@8739paulstep7but the engine has very little torque because it runs at 5000 rpm all the time. So it can assist the electric motors at higher speeds but the work is done by charging the engine.
      The guy on the right was really sus about the 1.5 litre engine. The way it works is that the engine runs at 46% thermal efficiency because it only runs at one speed 5000rpm the sweet spot for that engine. Torque is virtually nothing on it but the electric motors provide the torque. But a standard motor that has higher torque runs at lower rpm runs at a thermal efficiency of 26% so without the control and the electric motors you would at least a v6 3.6 litre engine. So a 1.5 litre engine running at 5000 rpm can give you 230 hP but no torque you need a 3.6 litre engine to give you the same power and torque at start up.
      So sleep easy mate the chines engineers figured it all out.

    Oh blimey are you guys taking me for a ride? Amusing - but if you really don't know, this style of hybrid is an EV first, and a petrol car second.
    I'm very curious to see how this setup actually works, particularly if the battery is nearly dead and then presumably the energy ultimately has to come from that little petrol engine.

    I have a BYD sea lion 6 PHEV suv I have driven 1321 km and with plugging it into a 240volt 10 amp socket most nights I have only used 10 litres of 95 Ron petrol that’s 0.8 litres per 100 k. It has a 1.5 turbo and 2 motors giving 238kw power and 5.6 seconds zero to 100k. It also qualifies for the FBT exemption on novated leases saving heaps on tax.

    The operating system is the same in all the vehicles, so if you want to know what that’s like then take one for a test drive.
