      ICE fires are at least 20 times more likely than EVs

        Plus that's an average EV, which I would guess in Australia would have a likelihood of over 50% of containing a much more dangerous NMC battery.
        All BYD vehicles contain much safer LiFePO4 batteries which are almost impossible to catch fire.

        It's a bit like comparing petrol and diesel cars for fire safety.

        Source: I run a battery company and have punctured and overcharged my fair share of LiFePO4 batteries.

        However this is a hybrid, so you still have the risk from the ICE engine on top.

            @Creamsoda: Haha the fact that you "believe the science" guys are now quite literally, denying the science on this one is amusing, but frankly, not that surprising.

            It's completely factual that EV fires burn an order of magnitude hotter than petrol/diesel fires and it's also completely factual that EV fires are self sustaining, in that, they create their own oxygen via chemical reactions, so there isn't a whole heap fire fighters can do other than keep a perimeter and let it burn.

            There is a reason building owners are starting to ban EVs from underground carparks, or at the very least, ban them from charging in underground carparks.

            I haven't gone into the added toxicity of EV fires. I can tell you, make sure anyone you love knows that if they ever drive past a burning car on the side of the road, as soon as you see it in the distance make sure the windows are up and recycle air is on. Yes it's good advice for any car fire, but an EV fire can quite literally kill you.

            You can be in denial and down vote me all you like, but nothing I've said here isn't factual.

            BTW, I'm not anti EV. I'd buy one when it suits me, I'm also just not an EV nutjob that thinks everything about them is fairy's and rainbows.

    Good timing for people wanting to take advantage of the novated lease FBT exemption for PHEVs before it's removed in April

    • bansharkfin on 30/10/2024 - 00:20

      Does the 3/5 years on the NL contract still allow it to be FBT free or only until April 2025?

      • MetalPhreak on 30/10/2024 - 01:56
        +3

        The exemption lasts for the life of the lease as long as you get the car delivered and lease finalised by April. But doesn’t cover extending the lease at the end.

        I think the whole fbt exemption thing wraps up in 4 years so that’s the most you’d get. If you want to leave a lease early you have to pay out the finance post tax and the interest you would have paid (sometimes at a reduced penalty rate plus a fixed fee). So you don’t want to sign up for 5 years unless you are sure.

        (I just did a 3 year on a sealion because i had the opportunity not to wait 4 months for the grey interior, keen on the shark but it’s a bit too big for me for daily use)

        • dsgfh on 30/10/2024 - 08:37

          Just be sure to read the ATO website thoroughly. If you change employers, that will impact your finance agreement & you'll lose the FBT exemption

          • ElliotJohn on 30/10/2024 - 21:31

            @dsgfh: Can you direct me to where you read this? On the ATO website, I can only see an example of this occuring for a plug in hybrid leased prior to the April 2025 cutoff, and then a person changes employer after April 2025 and attempts to lease again. My understanding is if you change employer prior to April 2025 you will continue to receive the FBT excemption.

        • Martyroz on 30/10/2024 - 08:49

          The negative here is that the leasing company will lock you in at todays rates and by all accounts, interest rates will trend down over the next 5 years.

      30kWh battery 80-100km of pure electric driving range.
      2 electric motors front & rear. It also has 1.5L turbo-petrol engine that can act as generator for electric motors or directly drive front wheels at speeds above 70km/h.
      The ICE mostly acts as generator for the electric motors.
      However, it can also function as parallel hybrid at higher speeds when the ICE can directly drive front wheels.
      combined power is 321kW & 650Nm torque.

    The engine is range extender only? Can't see anything definitive.

        • zacsg1 on 29/10/2024 - 23:52

          Yep, EV is great but this is the kind of ute we need in Australia for now anyway, and let's face it most people who get this will be looking for a new car within the next 5 years and by that time maybe an EV would be best.

          • dtpearson on 30/10/2024 - 09:13

            @zacsg1: Range is the biggest reason you won't get diesel ute drivers into an EV now (and lack of charging infrastructure in regional areas). This is the best compromise, wife drives 100% electric dropping the kids to school, but when they go for a long drive into the bush, they can fill up an any servo.

            The next generation of EV Utes will have +1000km of range and it will all be a moot point, everyone will just go EV, once you do there is no way anyone goes back to paying for diesel + service costs.

        • Pussqunt on 03/11/2024 - 07:31

          Electric motors aren't built to fail yet so are still non serviceable.

          Most of the cost of a diesel service is the amount of diesel oil.

          If charged correctly, minor services should cost similar other 1.5L petrol cars.

          Tyres and breaks will still cost the same as other utes.

            @mustang87401: Agreed. There was a short period of time between 2018 and 2022 where they were offering fantastic looking vehicles for excellent value. A lot of my family who were hardened Toyota purchasers jumped the gun and went with Hyundai's.

            But now they've gotten greedy and lost their value for money. Everyone is moving to Chinese brands which are capitalising on their loss.

    • Brick Tamland on 30/10/2024 - 11:07

      They are different segments though. BYD is a lifestyle Ute and the Tasman is a ladder on frame Ute.

      • phillycheese on 07/11/2024 - 05:54

        I think the shark is also ladder on frame too, but the shark is more of an AWD rather than 4WD. It certainly looks the part, but it is a pretend 4WD. I doubt serious offroaders will want the shark and will likely choose the Tasman, or ranger/ Hilux with real off-road credentials.

    • Pussqunt on 03/11/2024 - 07:56

      The Tasman's selling point was the warranty. But GWM Ute has had that for a while and will be ~$30k cheaper for similar specs.

      The Tasman is too late to market. It should have been here 2018. IMO it needs to lead on NVH if it wants a chance, because it appears to fall short every where else.

  • Switchblade88 on 29/10/2024 - 23:29

    Being a plug-in hybrid actually makes this a viable option for many rural users who (quite rightly) have range anxiety. I can see this covering a LOT of rural drivers who usually need a Hilux or Ranger for carrying capacity and the like, but want to save on fuel - and upfront costs as well at this price.

      You know that it's illegal to advertise 3.5t towing capacity when it isn't capable of it out of the factory, but they do it anyway.

      3.5Tonne is only possible with electric brakes trailer controller which is not standard on all of them. Plus you don't want to tow 2.5t tonne on the Hilux let alone 3.5t, it's towing performance is dismal and slow like a pig through mud. My old Rogue blew both struts, what shitty Utes.

    Nothing against Ev or Chinese car makers but PHEV segment in general, is marketed as "The Best of both worlds". But in real world, it could end up as the "Worst of both worlds" for a few unlucky ones. For example, you might end up having the downsides of a ICE (regular servicing, pollution & maintenance costs) + all EV issues (including battery+resale value+range anxiety) at the same time. Just my cynical 2cents :)

    • dimsum2 on 30/10/2024 - 01:05

      • Ozsaver88 on 30/10/2024 - 01:23
        -1

        Oh yeah, normal hybrids are the worst kind imho. No charging + normally replace the battery around 5-8 years. Is that fuel saved from hybrid tech significant when you compare the depreciation and maintenance costs after 5-8 years of using it? I honestly don't think do. No idea why people brag about the fuel savings using a hybrid, unless they are counting pennies. It makes sense if you enjoy the ride & performance of that car. I guess that's what really matters.

          My brother’s 2012 Camry, is with original battery and at 310k. Still getting 6l/100km. He drives with heavy foot though.

          Ignoring my personal evidence, if hybrid car batteries were failing this much, Toyota would not be selling them at all. Or they would have folded.

            @wmxc: Great I agree.. no objections on Toyota quality either. I am talking based on the experience of a few unlucky ones (as I mentioned before).. I mean those who had to replace that hybrid battery pack after the warranty period. They had to replace it with their aforementioned "savings". So all I am saying is that getting a Hybrid Camry shouldnt be your life's mission statement :) yes it's attractive as long as you etch that "6l/100km" at the forefront of your memory.

      Well all of that is correct. You have the best of both worlds and the worst of both worlds.

        The European cars starts appreciating in value after 20+ years if it's been well looked after.

    Good price for Ute. Can’t say the same for the accessories.

    Is anyone really going to buy the upcoming Kia now this has arrived ? This Ute is world’s apart from the Tasman.

      The Kia is a joke and even they know it. They've been trying to hide the very bad design behind stickers. I'm embarrassed for them.

      Get a nl company to quote you. The savings are beyond worth it if you're in the market for a car
