Bobby goes for a drive in perhaps the most complete and advanced Chinese EV to arrive on European shores thus far: the BYD Seal. With next-generation battery...
So gutted that BYD has decided to put almost NZD$9k premium on the Seal Performance pricing in New Zealand vs Australia.
Combine that with the new government committing to cancelling EV rebates (making the difference more like NZD$16k), and planning to add road-user charges (with a priority for Electric Vehicles) the cost/benefit has shifted a bit.
Sadly I’ll now be waiting to see how market and auto-makers respond.
Still impressed with the many reviews showing how well it measures up against competition for what could be much better dollars.
