BYD M6 Electric

I previously owned a Honda Jazz and was getting 400-500km on a $85 tank of fuel. With the M6 that is almost twice the size and weight, it's giving me almost 400-450km on a $45 full charge. However, I don't understand why so many people are bothered by the range and probably will be unhappy with the range even if the car runs on nuclear energy. I am charging whenever my car is around 50-60% and there are plenty of chargers around to give my car a quick charge. And the bonus of EV charging is you usually get pretty good lots. So the biggest change for me was the mindset over the car as upgrading from a Jazz to the M6 was a no brainer because almost every feature required to drive me safely and comfortably from point A to B is a huge upgrade (And there are no similar options in this price bracket).

I have driven a car for 3 months now. on average per charge I get 350 to 380 km (most m6 drivers get this too). The WLTP range is fake of course but you shld know that by now. do note that there are hidden charges for driving an electric vehicle like Higher Road tax and mandatory $700 per year (in lieu of fuel surcharge). This car has been tuned down to CAT A so don't expect "instantaneous torque power" of EVs. If it's the first time you're driving an electric vehicle, you will like the feel of it, better than an ice car for sure. smoother. however for the m6 it has a high body roll issue and it can be really bumpy around speed bumps. Blue tooth connection to phone is fickle. Wireless charger is extremely slow and makes phone very hot. other than that it's quite a comfortable car. my previous vehicle was a Toyota Prius alpha seven seater and the m6 definitely more spacious. It's a value for money car, not much else. At the point of writing, The next cheapest 7 seater EV is the maxus 7 which you have to pay about 30+k more but seems more premium definitely.... Read More
