BYD's new extended range electric vehicle, the Shark, has made a significant impact in Australia, selling over 2,000 units within 24 hours of its launch. Priced under AUD$60,000, it features all-wheel drive, a 30-kWh battery, and a braked towing capacity of 2,500 kg, positioning it as a competitive alternative to traditional utes. With the Australian market's demand for utes and favorable tax breaks, the Shark is set to challenge legacy brands and reshape the landscape of electric vehicles in the region.
