    I am Chinese. BYD has invested and built a factory in our city, but it is too difficult to order a BYD Han now, and it takes a long time to wait.

      Really liked the HAN as i heard price was very similar, but was forced to go the ATTO 3 by ball and chain. Maybe the HAN was to fast or not enough of a family car perhaps?
      Is the Han lower in seating height compared to the ATTO 3?
      Thank you China for making this car, you are helping save the planet from global warming catastrophe, Much respect to you.

      Actually that does happen, I frequently forget that I have my charging cable still attached when overnight charging at home. I haven't tried it for this model, but every EV I've driven, does not allow you to drive away with the charging cable attached, whether it's charging or not. I'd expect it to be the same for BYD.

    The car's name in China is "Yuan", which means to commemorate China's Yuan Dynasty. It is only the smallest car in BYD's "Dynasty" series. The best selling cars in China are "Song" and "Tang". If you can see these two cars with your own eyes, you will definitely think that other brands of cars are the same. Like the mobile phone 20 years ago, it has no value in existence. Because BYD's sales in China hit 130,000 cars a month.

      I'm swapping my Chinese brand Linglong Atlas tyres over as soon as my Atto 3 arrives to Continental Eco contact 6 tyres which are specifically designed for Evs a slightly better tyre at handling than the Michilen equivalent and not as expensive.
      The safety technology on both the Australian and NZ vehicles are identical as well as wheel and tyre size. Apparently NZ will get heated front seats, but the rumour mill in Australia is saying we will too.
      Personally I'm not fussed either way, none of my previous cars have had heated seats and our winters in SA are not as cold as other parts of Australia, we don't get snow in the suburbs.
