#18Shark 6 nationally ranked 18,073Shark 6 registrations 2024 6Models in Australia #1World's largest EV maker Build Your Dreams. It's not just a corporate slogan — BYD has genuinely done exactly that. Founded in 1995 as a battery company, BYD is now the world's largest manufacturer of electric vehicles, surpassing Tesla in global EV sales. In 2024, BYD delivered over 1.7 million pure electric vehicles worldwide — more than any other company on the planet. In Australia, BYD's rise has been nothing short of extraordinary. The Shark 6 — a plug-in hybrid dual-cab ute — ranked #18 nationally in 2024 with 18,073 registrations, making it one of the most successful new vehicle launches in Australian history. The Sealion 7 and Sealion 6 have quickly become competitive players in the mid-size SUV segment, while the Atto 3, Seal, and Dolphin round out a comprehensive electric vehicle lineup. BYD's secret weapon is its vertical integration — the company manufactures its own batteries (Blade Battery technology), semiconductors, and electric motors. This gives BYD an unmatched cost advantage and tight quality control. The Blade Battery in particular has demonstrated exceptional thermal safety, with no thermal runaway in independent testing — a critical advantage for buyers concerned about EV fire risk. BuyFleet works with BYD dealers across Australia to negotiate the best available price on every model. We handle quotes, finance through our 50+ lender network, trade-ins, and delivery coordination. All completely free for buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions — Buying a BYD in Australia QCan BuyFleet get a discount on a BYD in Australia? Yes. BuyFleet works with BYD dealers across Australia to secure competitive pricing. Savings vary by model and stock levels — popular models like the Shark 6 may have limited discount room due to high demand, while other models in the range often allow for more competitive pricing. Our network gives us access to stock and pricing that individual buyers rarely achieve. QIs BYD a reliable brand? What is their warranty in Australia? BYD is the world's largest EV manufacturer by volume with decades of battery manufacturing experience. In Australia, BYD vehicles come with a 6-year/150,000km vehicle warranty and an 8-year/160,000km high-voltage battery warranty. Their proprietary Blade Battery technology has demonstrated excellent safety characteristics in independent testing. QIs the BYD Shark 6 a good ute for Australian conditions? The Shark 6 has proven enormously popular in Australia — 18,073 registrations in its first full year ranks it #18 nationally. It combines approximately 100km of electric-only range for daily driving with a petrol engine extending total range beyond 800km, plus genuine 4x4 capability and high towing capacity. It's particularly compelling for tradies and farmers who do regular highway runs. QWhat is the difference between BYD's PHEV and BEV models? BYD's BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) models — Atto 3, Seal, Dolphin, Sealion 7 — run purely on electricity and need to be charged. Their PHEV models — Shark 6, Sealion 6 — have both an electric motor and a petrol engine, offering electric range for daily driving with the petrol engine available for long distances. PHEVs suit buyers without home charging infrastructure or frequent long-distance drivers. QCan I finance a BYD through BuyFleet? Yes. BuyFleet's finance partners compare 50+ lenders including EV-specific green car loans at reduced interest rates. BYD's full EV models are also eligible for FBT exemption under the government's Electric Car Discount when used via a novated lease arrangement — an extremely tax-effective way to acquire an EV for eligible employees. QHow does BYD's Blade Battery compare to other EV batteries? BYD's Blade Battery is a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cell arranged in a blade-like format that slots directly into the battery pack structure. LFP chemistry is more thermally stable than nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) batteries, reducing the risk of thermal runaway. The Blade Battery also has excellent cycle life — it degrades more slowly than NMC over many charge cycles, meaning it retains capacity better over time.
