Charging this vehicle
What would this cost you each year?
Compare it with what you run now. We assume 5 days a week and 50 weeks a year.
Servicing and insurance are indicative figures for this type of vehicle, not quotes. Advertised fuel figures assume a charged battery, so we use the low-battery figure once the charge runs out. Depreciation includes $5,000 for an AC charger and install. Tax and finance interest aren’t included. Change more assumptions, or check your site and power bill.
Common questions
How far can the BYD Sealion 6 go on electricity?
Up to 92 km advertised (NEDC, electric only) on the Essential. Payload, speed and weather will reduce it.
Terms explained
Plug-in hybrid
It has a battery you charge and a fuel engine. A range extender uses its engine only to make electricity.
Payload
The weight it can carry, including people and tools.
GVM
The most it can legally weigh when loaded. Above 4.5 tonnes, drivers need a Light Rigid licence.
WLTP
The standard lab test behind most advertised range figures.
AC and DC
AC is slower and suits overnight charging. DC is fast charging.
