BYD Shark 6: A Hybrid That Actually Makes Sense?!

In this episode, Simone takes a closer look at the BYD Shark 6 —and yes, we know, a hybrid isn’t our usual territory. But with a 30 kWh battery, CCS fast charging at 50 kW, and a setup that feels more range extender than traditional PHEV, this one piqued our interest. Given Australia’s ute-loving - long-distance driving - off the beaten track- drivers, the Shark is bound to make waves.. (pun intended).
