LFP batteries are a boon. I have both the Atto 3 (standard range) and the Tesla M3 RWD. Charging both to 100% without fear of abusing the battery is a big deal when it comes to road trips.
We have currently hired the BYD atto 3 extended range with sixt up in Cairns for the last 10 days. It has been amazing will be hiring electric cars from now on! Also coming down from the tablelands, we were generated 12 km going down the hill which was quite cool! Love watching your videos they got me a specially excited for this trip and hiring this car😊.( Plus we haven’t paid a cent for fuel.)
Great video, actually you can sleep inside the car, just get a fitted inflatable bed suits the atto 3, push the front seat forward and flat the back seat. Use the outside intake air and you can sleep nice, even without sleeping bag. The aircon does not use much of power at all and it is really comfortable compare with tent.
Great video. I would highly recommend ABRP (a better route planner) which gives much better metrics for planning and live range estimates while you drive. We really need better destination chargers at snow resorts. Imagine how much time you would have saved if you could arrived at the top of the mountain nearly empty by just simply booking a powered parking spot. Then you could have left with 98% charge and topped up on the way down.
Luv it! As an Aussie who has lived OS since 98, i really dig hearing a good old Aussie accent. I wasn't looking for Australian content when I I found this, I found it because the topic was of interest. Great video. I am an old man man now but wrapped to see young Aussies pushing forward :)
I swam to that island in the lake at night once, alone, in cold weather. Very brave of me. I always pat myself on the back for that. Sure, I had extreme muscle contractions when I got back, and would have died if I spent much longer in the water, but it's all part of being a brave, brave guy
That was good and your efficiency loss probably wasn't as bad as you thought it would be, I suspect that same trip w/o the roofbox you would probably get about 180Wh/km whereas you were about 200Wh/km. Remember Atto Gal who drove her Atto 3 across the Nullarbor from Perth to Sydney and return.
@@fredsonpittsburg9073 If you're from the US I presume, then 51K AUD is equal to 34K USD. So probably similar price, maybe a bit cheaper over there. I considered both cars very closely and with the price being not massively different in this country it's a no brainer to get the Tesla, if you can stretch the budget a bit. If the Atto 3 was around 65% of the price then I may have bought it but in Aus it's around 80% the cost of the model Y and imo the Tesla is easily worth more than that.
Interesting! Nice work and thanks for the great video, I appreciate the effort. Its good to see a comparison between this car and the MY standard range I decided on instead. I preordered the Atto 3 but switched after test driving the MY. In my experience with the Tesla I've gone to perisher a few times this year from northern Sydney and I only need to do the 1 stop in Canberra for around 20-25 minutes. Then I stay at a powered campsite at Kosciusko tourist Park and sleep in the MY on a fitted bed with my partner. On return we have full charge from the campsite so just the 1 stop at canberra for 20 mins. No need for a rooftop box in the Tesla. We even did the trip with 3 people this weekend plus boards inside the car no problem and stayed at a hotel in jindy. The staff were kind and let us charge there for free, they even provided an extension cable so we could power the car from the room itself. Obviously different price points, i know. But good to compare nonetheless. Maybe the atto 3 could do the single charge in Canberra if you didn't have a box on top?
This is great, thanks for sharing! Do you remember what your efficiency is? I reckon I would have been able to get away with one stop as well - but again this is my first time so would rather be safe than sorry. haha
@@juicdgarage I'm not sure, I forgot to set the trip but from memory I think it was somewhere around 175wh/km from Sydney to Canberra in temps around -5c. Canberra to Sydney was under 130wh/km in daytime temps around 15c.
Great content! Trying to get some grip with EVs. So relevant to me as I am also a keen snow boarder. Thanks for the content, you have a new subscriber!
Took my MY RWD to Perisher last year. Charged at Goulburn, Cooma on the way there, and Canberra, Goulburn on the way back. Canberra and Jindabyne really need more DCFC. Problem with going downhill from Perisher is that the battery is cold soaked so regen is limited and ABRP doesn't take that into consideration. I found pre-heating wasn't necessary during the day as with the glass roof the MY heated up in the sun anyway.
Agree with more chargers at Jindabyne and Canberra...or really just DCFC in between. That's a good point, if I didn't have a roof box, I could leave the sun shade open
Nice one 😊👍 Cheers from a BYD owner in Perth 🤙 Btw I wasn't aware about the snow button on the center console but there won't be any snow around me anyway 😂
Hey dude it looks like your tyre pressure is on the lower end. You should get better efficiency and also better tyre life if you go up closer to 40. Something like 38-39 psi
Just to add another data point for Atto's with roof boxes - I did a road trip with one (which doesn't look to be as sleek as yours) and I got 219Wh/km efficiency on the freeway. Sounds about right comparing with yours.
great video and a trip to the snow is always a fun road trip! With the increasing EV uptake, Jindabyne needs more DC charging, i have read rumours that Tesla will be building some superchargers in Jindabyne, near the bowling club, and hopefully they will be agnostic for all EVs. but we have found powered campsites are a great way to get cheap accommodation, and a recharge overnight. i see Perisher has changed a little bit since i was there last year. :P Some accommodation has Ev charging in jindy which is a good things. With our Model 3, driving from Perisher to Jindabyne we use no battery at all, or it changes by 1 or 2% at most. regen for the win! Really like that mobile charger kit, we used a similar thing crossing the Nullarbor. pretty much all 3 phase chargers.
@@juicdgarage i think its the same portable charger you had in the pack from Evse with the adaptor tails, all we needed was the 3 phase 5 pin plug, we had the 15 amp 240 volt standard car charger for caravan parks. we also had a 3-phase extension cord just in case. in the end, we didnt need as much as we thought.
Next time when u going off road trip again in 2024. invite me along bruh! The power outlet socket outlet at camping for caravan in Australia are 15AMP outlet as standard. By the way you might wanna go for a short visit at Eden. Is not far where you are anyway. Is just right in between the boarder of NSW and VIC line nearby the sea.
@@geoffsemon7411 well he drove from sydney didn't he. So he can go visit Eden along the way down south east coast way back home to sydney. Along the coast way drive view the ocean back to Sydney is an awe during day time.
Great story, videos and information. Hmmm 32psi tyres? 36 might have helped a little plus ideally both left and right tyres same pressure good sir. Cheers
roads were not too icy...I only noticed the throttle response being dialled down - kinda like eco mode....maybe it does something as well when it slips but didn't really test it out
Great video, I wasn't sure if the BYD can make to the snow and I ended up drive the ICE car there. I have noticed that snow chain wasn't fitted, does that mean the BYD is safe to drive to the mountain when snowing?
China's North East has massive population and it's as cold as Russian Siberia or Finland. China's city Harbin has the population of 20 million people and it gets as cold as -20 to -30 C their. My point of telling you this is that anything coming out of China would be good to go in semi arctic conditions because they're design to operate in Chinese North East
Great video, have my Atto 3 now from march here in the Netherlands and I am just loving it. Btw, wanted to ask, can I dc fast charge Atto 3 to 100%? I think yes because LFP battery can have no harm when its charged to it's full capacity but wanted to be sure. 😊
You can fast charge all the way to 100%, however, from 85% onwards the charge rate starts to roll back, typically 50KW down to 30KW and the last 5% is usually at around 12KW. If you don't need every last bit of power most people knock it off at around 90%. The general recommendation is to do one 100% charge per week. I normally do this with an overnight slow AC charge so it effectively trickle charges approaching 100%.
Cant we use home charger given by BYD at any outlet.. you showed something which you bought from evse with 15AMP cable.. is there a limit for home charger?
the portable charger that came with the ATTO3 is a 10amp charger, you can plug this into both 10amp and 15amp outlets. The one I showed in the video has different tails which mean you can plug into 20amp and 32amp outlets as well and allows you to charge faster.
How many kilometers could you travel at 100% range? What is your average speed and average km? I watched your video, but I couldn't quite understand it because my English was not good.
Ohhh exciting!!! What car are you taking? The DC chargers at Canberra are not on the main highway and require a bit of a detour....I ended up using the AC charger at Reposit Power and got an overnight charge while I rested
I recently took my atto out to stanthorpe here in qld, gets cold, I noticed your TPMS alert was showing in the dash. This happened to me as I got into colder weather, did it go away for you?
What?! You are a brave man! I’ve driven Atto 3 on dry conditions and they’re ok but I saw them slip up on not so wet roads numerous times. But then again your trip proves it’ll hold up under normal driving.
Almost all Chinese cars are not zinc-plated. That means they will get rust very fast. Even a small paint scratch will start to rust in a matter of days.
My average before 1.2 update was 440km for every 100% . Then went for the very first service and they also updated software to which added Android auto and my average becomes 400 per 100%. Another update layer and byd fixed 12v battery drain but now just getting under 400 per charge.this new update not sure what it is for but my sunroof keeps closing every time I hit certain speed. So I can't even use it now. I love the fact that wind coming from the roof instead of side windows. Kinda defeat its purpose if it closes by itself on certain speed. We about to test the car again this weekend for a long drive to see if it affects the range. melbourne-ballarat took 40% off but ballarat-melbourne only 18% so I'm happy with that. Werribee-healesville took 35% via yarra range and healesville-werribee 25%. But melton-rosebud took a massive 42% via citylink-monash-eastlink. And another 53 return. Not sure why. Also could be heater on and heated seats on as well.
I checked the car today at the dealer very close to the place where I live and if you bring the front seat forward you get almost 1,9m. Now I'll make a plank of wood to fill the gap and it should be fine to sleep inside. The dealer said about camp mode: just leave the car turned on. It doesn't need much power. Next week I'll test it out 🙂@@juicdgarage
CZcams recommended this video not really sure I would like to wait 1hr to charge my car when I can just put a full tank of fuel for 2 mins sorry but EV at the moment is not for me
Agree in some cases it may not make a lot of sense, especially what I did here in the video, but for what I use it for (daily commute and city driving) it makes perfect sense. In fact I even save myself the 2minutes because my car is being re-fuelld when not in use
@@juicdgarage totally agree i still believe we still have a long way to make EV the standard car but i can see good progress i will wait until then at the moment it doesn't make sense to me financially.
11:00 every time CZcamsrs do this I cringe so bad he obviously got in his car before to turn on the camera and acted he was surprised by the warm cabin.
Pretty good range. My 2020 M3 has 260km range on 70% for comparison. Tech moves/improves so fast
LFP batteries are a boon.

Actually it’s 15.2
That's awesome! Are you charging using the public charging stations? If so, how are you finding the charging infrastructure in Cairns

Use the outside intake air and you can sleep nice, even without sleeping bag. The aircon does not use much of power at all and it is really comfortable compare with tent.

Game over for Tesla!
Hard to tell if this is the roof box or lower temps bringing down efficiency? Your thoughts compared to your normal efficiency?
I'd say it's mostly roof box. The first leg of the journey from Sydney to Canberra is not that cold
great video mate! good to see that those tyres handled the icy road, was it slippery, also what did you think of the snow mode of the car?

Thanks! Roof rack is a generic I have from my previous car. Not the best fit so I won't mention it
Can you please share details of roof rack and roof box? I mean dimensions of roof box? How long, high and wide is the box?
Roof box is thule dynamic 9000..about 2.3m long. Too long for the BYD considering the tailgate cannot be opened to full the extend.
Have you tried to use the Tesla chargers as they slowly open up.
Cant we use home charger given by BYD at any outlet.. you showed something which you bought from evse with 15AMP cable.. is there a limit for home charger?

@@juicdgaragetrue - will keep an eye out for a highway range test when you can 👍
Seems very low is that standard range one? You driving in sport mode everywhere?
How much u pay for each charge?
On the DC charger ~$30 each way. Was paying $0.45/kwh
@@juicdgarage ,is this still cheaper than gas brother?
@@Justiceforall-xi3uh yes, gas would have been $100 each way
@@juicdgarage , wow that sounds too much brother. EV is a better deal!
Thanks for real world example. I'd sooner sleep in the car. A pity no heat pump. Alot of cabling. Seems like a hassle.
Why not just sleep in the car ?
I actually did on my stop at Canberra, The stretcher in tent was more comfortable 😁
how long is the length you can lie down if you fold the seats?
@@CineMuck84 yes, I actually did that for a night... it's about 1.6m - 1.7m
I checked the car today at the dealer very close to the place where I live and if you bring the front seat forward you get almost 1,9m. Now I'll make a plank of wood to fill the gap and it should be fine to sleep inside. The dealer said about camp mode: just leave the car turned on. It doesn't need much power. Next week I'll test it out 🙂@@juicdgarage
The range and planning for your trip is rediculous.
Just Read an Article - "Man forced to ditch Ford EV truck during family road trip to Chicago: ‘biggest scam of modern times’"
It's a Ford, they are all shit
CZcams recommended this video not really sure I would like to wait 1hr to charge my car when I can just put a full tank of fuel for 2 mins sorry but EV at the moment is not for me
Agree in some cases it may not make a lot of sense, especially what I did here in the video, but for what I use it for (daily commute and city driving) it makes perfect sense. In fact I even save myself the 2minutes because my car is being re-fuelld when not in use
@@juicdgarage totally agree i still believe we still have a long way to make EV the standard car but i can see good progress i will wait until then at the moment it doesn't make sense to me financially.
What a generic 2015 design they made🙄🙄🙄
Still way better looking than fugly tesla.
11:00 every time CZcamsrs do this I cringe so bad he obviously got in his car before to turn on the camera and acted he was surprised by the warm cabin.
Cool story bro.
Cool!! Is possible to sleep in the car overnight?
