BYD ATTO 3 CHARGING AT TESLA SUPERCHARGER IN AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

This video documents the first-time experience of charging a BYD Atto 3 at a Tesla Supercharger in Australia, a pilot program initiated in February 2023. The reviewer, Tom from Ludicrous Feed, successfully charged the vehicle after an initial connection failure, highlighting the CCS2 compatibility and the reach of the Tesla cable. He details the Tesla app's non-Tesla charging interface, explaining the pay-per-use ($0.79/kWh) and membership ($9.99/month for $0.66/kWh) options, as well as idle fees. A significant finding was the ability to unplug a non-Tesla EV even when the car is locked, a security concern noted by the reviewer. Charging speeds started at around 80-88 kW and tapered down as the battery state of charge increased, reaching 100% in approximately 40 minutes across two sessions, adding an estimated 205 km of highway range. The reviewer found the Tesla app somewhat glitchy but ultimately functional, providing real-time cost and energy usage data. The video also covers nearby amenities and the locations of the five pilot Supercharger sites in New South Wales.
