Weird question, but does an electric vehicle come fully charged when delivered, like a ICE vehicle does with a full tank (usually)?
There are no weird questions! Just weird people.
If the shoe fits…🫠
Providing you buy from a dealer, they should.
Imagine paying full price then sipping tea at the dealer waiting for it to charge
Honestly that sounds relaxing. I waited at a smash repair place just using their coffee machine and chilling and loved it.
Love to think @gakko doesn't even own a car. Just vibing at the smash repairs
@anawth: I spent two years at Griffith Uni at night in the labs playing LAN games (Day of Defeat, QII and CS) and was never enrolled. Twenty to thirty of us would descend into a lab, install the game and go until 2am.
I even rocked up early one day and decided to sit in on a lecture.
Only got caught once. Griffith decided to clamp down on the gaming, and security booted us all out then started taking names. I told them I was 17 and (from going to a rough high school) knew to say that I was part indigenous so I wanted AB Aid before I'd talk to them, and they just told me to leave.
Fun times, I miss those days.
Literally did this today while picking up a Shark, the dealer insisted he couldn't give it to me at 98%
How is it? I needed to swap my Ute out last year and ended up with a Tesla MY but am digging the sharks
And in general response on this thread, I also don’t know why you would buy a Haval for the same price as a Tesla…
My Model Y was nearly charged and while I sat in the car doing the handover and familiarisation I plugged it back in until it was at 100%
@billdsl: Exactly, it would be a waste of money as the Haval is only a PHEV, however, 2024 Teslas are less luxurious than Havals/BYDs, the new ones are also $69k driveaway. Though, with the Sealion 7 due to be released next month, I would wait and buy that car instead. PHEVs don't make any sense, if you don't drive enough it's a waste, just get a conventional hybrid car and skip the need to plug it in every day & skip the extra $10k price tag. If you drive a lot, the Sealion 7 will be a better car and you won't need to maintain an entire ICE system that is nearly redundant (eg. 3 tanks of petrol for someone that drives 15,000km/year).
@supersabroso: fair but where can you get conventional hybrids for 10k less? take the SL6 for example to get an equivalent trim and inclusions you'd have to at least go up to a RAV4 Cruiser which is 56k, which is more expensive and not eligible for FBT exemption
@May4th: The GWM Haval H6 Ultra hybrid is only $41k driveaway, it's a few cm longer, higher and wider than a RAV4 cruzier hybrid but $15k cheaper. It's also more luxurious with newer tech, more tech & better features in addition to a longer 7 year warranty with 8 years on the battery.
@supersabroso: ah fair enough, but for a lot of people who have access to NL, the PHEV version will end up cheaper despite the higher price
@supersabroso: Yeah i dont really get the PHEV setup, twice as many things to fail and break, may as well keep running a dodgy Ford Ranger that has more issues than you can poke a stick at. But does get you into the FBT free lease structure.
I think once people get over the change factor or fear of having an EV and where they dont need a bigger car for towing there's zero reason to stick with an ICE car, its just the natural resistance to such a big change which isnt valid at all
@billdsl: Live or drive an EV outside of a capital city and you might gain a better understanding. From my experience, EV range anxiety quickly becomes range reality when chargers dont exist, are broken or cars are queued up for hours. Imagine that with wife and kids in the car. I settled on a BYD PHEV, beautiful electric car during the week and while driving Newcastle to Melbourne recently, just drove it as a hybrid and it was amazing, economical, and just really chill.
@Attlas: Hope it breaks on you :-)
Nah, havent seen one in person but look great
Additionally havent heard any noise about BYD's breaking or having any mechanical drama's so its good they are pushing things so hard and giving so many options, just a shame the timing didnt work for me to get into one
usually they are charged up to 80 or 90%.
Depending on the battery and the car, usually the recommended charge is up to 80% or so anyway, past that it is really (REALLY) slow and not really needed unless you need a full charge on a long road trip.
When I plug mine in at home I set it to 80% max as well.
That's really interesting, had no idea about that. Cheers for the info.
Depends on the battery type. 100% is fine on LFP ones.
Not really but they need to be charged to 100% occasionally for calibration
Mine came 100% charge…
I think mine was 70% which was slightly annoying - mg4
this or the BYD Sealion 6 ? hmmm
I don't much about either, but my first instinct would be to pocket the $10k and choose the BYD
Sealion 6 Essential has less than half the EV range of this, and is about half as powerful.
The Premium model is the direct competitor for this (which is also AWD and decently powerful) but still has a much smaller battery (and is the same price - no $10k saving there).
Put in perspective, this car has a battery nearly as big as a second generation Nissan Leaf (which has 40kwh in base spec - this has 35) - as well as a petrol motor. I think they're going to be popular (albeit this is quite an old platform now, relatively speaking).
going to be popular
bro think he Glinda
Can’t comment on the haval but the BYD is very well put together and a nice thing overall. The slightly bouncy suspension is about the only minor gripe. If you don’t need the range daily it’s not really worth buying the haval just on that point. Put your butt in both and see.
2000kms into owning a premium sl6 and very happy.
@MetalPhreak: I've put my butt in a Sealion (haven't driven though) and have driven the H6 GT (non hybrid). No argument from me that the BYD is a nicer place to sit (but that was a Premium model - the cheaper Essentials model that's $10k cheaper than this, is a stripped out version with less than half the power, let alone EV range).
To be honest, anyone considering a PHEV should just be brave and buy a BEV. I'm having this debate with my father at the moment (he's most likely going to end up with a CX-60 PHEV despite me telling him the Inline 6 petrol variant is the better option).
@xyron: I looked at the CX60 PHEV even took one for a test drive. It was big and heavy and slow and expensive. Not sure what market that is for.
@1st-Amendment: Yes that sums up my view. We drove a PHEV and a petrol and I absolutely fell in love with the petrol. What other mainstream manufacturer is putting a turbo straight 6 into their flagship SUV?
The Haval GT is in another realm though performance wise.
The Sealion 6 is a very impressive in the flesh. Definitely worth looking at one before dismissing it
I've sat in one to compare to our Tiguan Allspace. It's approximately the same size as a regular Tiguan but the cabin height is a bit lower. I'm 195cm so that is a bit of an issue, and getting in & out without the steering column at max height wasn't super easy. However the interior is really impressive, I liked it much more than I thought I would. For the price it seems like a very good value proposition. If only they make a 7 seat size model…
Can you comment on any other cars in that class that you’ve tried as a tall driver?
The Tiguan is a nice car, but even the current model feels several generations behind the Sealion/Seal. You can say the same about Mitsubishi, Subaru, Toyota, etc. It is very easy to see why the old school car companies have a lot to worry about.
Admittedly I haven't driven in a BYD, only sat in them, so I can't comment about handling. Also BYD cops a bit of flack for their bizarre warranty, so not sure how that compares to GWM.
BYD is the more recognised and 'premium' brand but hard to argue with the specs.
Compared to the more expensive and comparable price wise Premium model it's quicker, (5 vs 6sec 0-100), and has almost double the battery only range
BYD is the more recognised and 'premium' brand
Lol 'premium' as in less shit than the bottom of the barrel, not 'premium' like say a Range Rover or Bentley right?
Your perspective is warped, if you're in the top 1% and earn $500k/year then sure, cars like Toyotas, Hondas, BYD, Tesla, Mazda, Haval, Hyundai are all "bottom of the barrel". However, for the other 99% of us, those are the cars that we can afford and justify buying. We can't all afford to buy unreliable money pits like Range Rovers or Bentleys at 500% the price for a 25% uplift in luxury.
Your perspective is warped
Depends on where you live I guess. My perspective matches my observations.
if you're in the top 1% and earn $500k/year then sure cars like Toyotas, Hondas, BYD, Tesla, Mazda, Haval, Hyundai are all "bottom of the barrel"
I said that BYD was better than bottom of the barrel, meaning it's probably closer to a lower middle brand than a 'premium' brand. You don't need to earn $500k to understand how that works. I would also consider most of the brands you mentioned as middle except Haval. Chinese brands have a few years to go to earn that status just like everyone had to go through.
Ask the average punter on the street to name 3 'premium' car brands and no-one is saying BYD.
at 500% the price for a 25% uplift in luxury
That is precisely what makes something 'premium', the diminishing rate of return at the pointy end of the scale separates the top from everyone else.
@1st-Amendment: I mean that's all I was saying. I don't think anyone would argue GWM is a better brand than BYD..
BYD is going to be on par with the Toyotas and Hondas I suspect but like you said needs another 10 years or so at least to prove themselves
They have the Denza "premium" brand and the inexplicably named Yangwang 'luxury' segment to differentiate themselves (more comparable with your Range Rovers) but we'll see how that goes
GMW is better. Larger battery, faster chip in console( 8155 vs 655 ), and better looking interior.
BYD's PHEV tech is much more widely adopted. Battery chemistry BYD uses inhouse Fintech LFP (safest) while GWM uses NMC (but made by CATL, largest battery maker).
Crazy how this is faster than a Civic Type R 0-100 and costs 18K less.
lol Petrol vehicles are the kodak of cars
Maybe Ev's are the Bluray of cars
Then what are the Netflix of cars?
lol Petrol vehicles are the kodak of cars
That's why they're still outselling the 'whatever_your_think_the_alternative_is' of cars 10:1. Ten of the top ten selling vehicles all use petrol. The top selling EV the Tesla Y came in at 11th. But you hold on to the dream lol…
Kodak was outselling digital for a long time too.
What's your point exactly?
What's your point exactly?
Wake me up when BEVs are outselling ICE vehicles. Because keep hearing how it's the end of ICE for years now, but the revolution always fails to materlise. It's up there with the Dam will never be full again, and The Arctic will be ice free for crazy cult-like predictions 😁
horse carriages were outselling cars for centuries too
horse carriages were outselling cars for centuries too
This might surprise you, there's 3x as many horses now as at the time when cars were invented.
The Kodak analogy is pure fantasy made by people who have no idea how the real world works.
@1st-Amendment: yes but we aren't talking about horses, tell me again how many horse carriages you see on the road? solid state batteries will be a game changer
solid state batteries will be a game changer
Sure… 'will be' just like Cold Fusion and flying cars and quantum computing and time machines and…
All game changers…all things that don't exist in any practical form today…
Wake me up when this happens and I'll help you celebrate
@1st-Amendment: well they already exist unlike your cold fusion and time machines, just not in commercially scalable quantities yet, just like computers laptops when they were first made, and it looks like you won't need to hold your breath for too long https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/game-changing-electric…
and it looks like you won't need to hold your breath for too long
The problem with 'gonna' it that it's really easy to say, but much harder to do. If I had a dollar for every time I heard 'gonna' I'd be rich…
What's funny about this is that let's assume MG have cracked the code and actually got a viable revolutionary product. The biggest thing it kills will be all existing EV's which will all be obsolete overnight. So it's more likely that Li-On is the Kodak in this story.
I mean you can get a clapped out golf r for 20k, throw a stage 1 tune and hit 3.6s 0-100 all day before the dsg grenades.Plus it's 2wd vs 4wd
Can this keep up to a type r around the track where it was engineered for? Even if you chuck 18k worth of mods?
I think Mortgagetightass is comparing this car for the average Joe… not some dude who needs to know their oil pressure and exact AFR at every given point of time.
It's for people who want a family car + a pram and shopping in the back that sips fuel but still can beat a Civic Type R at the light who's not letting you merge.
Crazy that a Civic type R costs 70k
Crazy people are comparing a SUV to a type-r
BYD better
easily
Toyota are licensing BYD tech for the next Hilux - that says it all.
GWM are WELL behind the times for hybrid tech.
AFAIK GWM does not have any kind of range extender technology.
GWM builds the electric Mini for BMW, that says something too in terms of what they are capable of
GWM has Hi4T, which hopefully is coming soon.
Imagine what you can do with 2 grand.
Would be lucky to cover a month's rent these days
Yep it's a whopping great discount there. You could buy yourself one of those robot vacuum cleaners with a dock, with the savings. Livin' the dream!

How is the fuel efficiency if i don't charge it regularly?
If you're interested in fuel efficiency then you'll definitely be charging it regularly - can you explain the premise of your question?
I usually have to drive around 350km 5 days a week

No ANCAP safety rating
It's not like they re-do the crash tests on different engine types of the same model. It'll get added to the current 5* report and they'll continue on.
different engine types
Really?
Yeah, one report for all variants (if registered). You can see an example for the Mazda CX-80, one report for petrol, diesel and PHEV. So once they register it (and probably some engineering design justification), it'll just get added as a formality. All the dealers are already marketing it as 5*
