2022 BYD AUSTRALIA ATTO 3 DELIVERY DELAY ANNOUNCEMENT LIVE STREAM

EV Channels Review

This live stream addresses the significant delivery delay announcement for the BYD Atto 3 in Australia, with initial deliveries pushed back by 6-8 weeks from the originally anticipated August 2022 timeframe. The distributor, EV Direct, has partnered with Eagers Automotive for a nationwide retail and service network, aiming to provide a robust support system. While the delay is frustrating for many early adopters, particularly those new to EVs, the consensus among guests and the audience poll suggests a high degree of patience, with a majority intending to hold their orders. Production in China is reportedly ramping up, and the focus is on establishing efficient shipping and logistics to Australia. The Atto 3 is praised for its value proposition, offering significant features for its sub-$50,000 price point, including the LFP blade battery and a heat pump, making it an attractive option compared to other EVs and even hybrid models with longer wait times. Despite communication challenges, there's optimism that once the initial logistical hurdles are overcome, BYD will establish a steady supply and significantly boost EV adoption in the Australian market.
