First Drive: BYD's Shark PHEV Pickup Truck

First Drive: BYD's Shark PHEV Pickup TruckMy Spanish is a little rusty, but the Mexican BYD Website has some interesting additional information I can make out.


Front power is 170 kW and torque 310 N-m. Rear motor is 150 kW and 340 N-m. Maximum combined power is shown as 430 HP, which is 320 kW.


Maximum towing is listed at 2,500 kg, or 5,500 pounds. Not bad for plug-in electric mid-size pickup.


I like that truck has exportable electrical power similar to Ford's Pro Power Onboard. BYD shows it being used for camping as an example. With 29.6 kWh battery capacity, it could power an RV air conditioner all through night without pickup's engine having to start. That could be really useful when camping where generators are not allowed except a couple of hours during day. Obviously during power outages also. I could not find what the exportable power rating is, but I'm sure it's plenty for camping or power tools on job site. Picture says "a power station anywhere at any time" if I'm reading correctly.Tue, 12 Nov 2024 06:39:54 +0000
