The order signed by Nexport, Macquarie and BYD is for an initial run of 200 electric medium duty trucks, the first of which will arrive here later this year. Todd told Truck and Bus that the 2019 BYD  models  will have an operating range of around being  300km on a single charge for its T5X model . Then people who do not have a garage can recharge too. The B-Box comes in high voltage (HV) and low voltage (LV) – with the B-Box LV Residential the solar battery we expect to be the most interest to Australian consumers. (Sydney resident). China’s BYD (Build Your Dreams), the largest producer of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries in the world, have released a new solar battery, the BYD B-Box, to compete with the likes of the Tesla Powerwall, Redflow and LG’s line of energy storage. Liu Xue-liang, sales manager has indicated that BYD will be throwing their considerable heft behind the product and BYD’s electric car business, being quoted as saying: “This is not just a new product, it is a new industry,”. Luke Todd told Truck and Bus News that operators could expect a reduction in running cost of around 40 per cent for normal  driving  conditions using an equivalent electric truck compared with a typical  7-tonne  diesel  truck currently returning around 4-5 km per litre of diesel fuel. EV sales in Australia have been slow, with less than 1,000 sold before the end of 2014, although figures have since been boosted by the take-up of the Tesla Model S, which sells from around $140,000 and is now the top selling pure EV model in Australia. The E6 is described as a “high-riding, all electric people mover”, with a battery pack of 75kWh, a range of 300kms, and a purchase price of around $80,000. Founded in 1995 as a pioneer in battery technology, BYD’s mission is to change the world by creating a complete, clean-energy ecosystem that reduces the world’s reliance on petroleum. It’s impossible not to feel like your ICE is ‘broken’ thereafter. That makes a sum total of two electric car companies. I would expect a better range than 300km from a 75kwh battery!

All rights reserved. BYD has cheaper models than the E6, but it is the only BYD model available in right hand drive. Foolish conclusion. Todd says that  under the agreement, Nexport will be responsible for local sales and support of electric BYD trucks sold in Australia and New Zealand and the range will initially consist of BYD’s T5 and T6 models, designed to meet the needs of operators using 4.5-7 tonne logistics and general commercial trucks. BYD is 10 per cent owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway. BYD unveiled the electric Song Pro, electric Song Pro MAX, E1, E2, S2, and E-SEED GT hybrid concept at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show. An Australian company, with backing by Macquarie Group’s Corporate and Asset Finance has announced it will start importing and selling Chinese built BYD electric trucks later this year and that. If you’re interested in seeing how much your property could save by installing solar please enter your details and we’ll be in touch. The LV model comes in four flavours, listed below (please note you’ll also need to purchase a compatible inverter to go with the B-Box – but given the size of the company we expect that won’t be much of a problem): BYD’s previous solar battery, the Mini, was a 6kWh system which retailed for around $11,000 AUD. Please take a look at our post on Solar Batteries in Australia and Tesla Powerwall Competitors and Alternatives for further comparisons. What’s more, it will act as a catalyst for BYD to become a global brand. Gives the headline a whiff of ‘click bait’. Rooftop solar set to continue growth in 2021, and take batteries and EVs along for the ride, Zinc-air flow batteries target Australia market with minimum eight hours storage, Solar benches shine light on promising new battery contender, Gelion, Tesla research chief Jeff Dahn says two million mile battery possible – and needed for V2G, Model 3 achieves record low energy consumption in driving efficiency test, EV pioneer Wiebe Wakker’s Blue Bandit goes on display in VW car museum. “We look forward to working with BYD to explore this, not only in  electric trucks, but also other significant  EV markets,  such as airports and logistics,”  said Simpson. I agree to be contacted by ONE carefully selected solar installer. Yes, they are a competitor to Tesla. The E6 will be distributed in Australia by transport logistics group Carbridge. “We will provide bespoke service options, for instance with larger fleets we  can install a self contained solar powered service pod which is based on a shipping container, which would be stocked with replacement parts, and diagnostic equipment etc  and we would provide training for their mechanics or technicians,” said Luke Todd. Please keep an eye out and throw your weight behind the first taxi fleet to electrify. “BYD founder and chief executive Wang Chuan-fu told RenewEconomy in January that he expects the global market for EVs to double in each of the next three years, although the company did not see itself as a competitor to Tesla” Moreover, BYD will sell this car in overseas markets, which will further enhance its brand equity on a global scale. And a shout out to the people at marketforces.org.au. BYD was founded in February 1995, and after more than 20 years of fast growth, the company has established over 30 industrial parks worldwide and has played a significant role in industries related to electronics, automobiles, new energy and rail transit. The company says it intends to move into heavy medium duty trucks in 2020 particularly targeting the refuse market. Tesla is targeting high end, there is a bit of an overlap, but we are focusing on electric cars and buses in different markets.”. In comparison the Powerwall 2 can only output 5kW so if you were using it off-grid or as a backup for power-hungry devices, keep this in mind. Foyster's Cartoon: Abbott, Turnbull and the carbon scare campaign, Strong plan can deliver a 100% renewable energy future. As well as the new Mercs, the logistics company has will also […], Mack has announced that it has selected Allison’s 2000 Series as the standard transmission for its new medium duty MD trucks in the USA. Technological improvements and component price decreases means that the B-Box 10 will cost $8,500 AUD for an a 10kWh system, representing a reduction in price per kWh of over 50%. They’re a gigantic company based in Shenzhen with a market cap of $22b (Warren Buffet owns 8.25% of the company) and are bigger than Tesla (their battery factory is currently producing a massive 8.6gigawatts, 8 times larger than Tesla’s Nevada Gigafactory) , so they certainly pose a very realistic threat to the incumbent solar battery producers. @ Copyright RenewEconomy 2018. Total EV sales for the year is well above the target of 200,000 units set at the start of the year.
