A BYD Shark 6 is not an EV?

[plugger]

It's a HEV, not a BEV. But it's an EV none the less. It has the ability to drive ~100km on battery only, and the engine doesn't drive the wheels, it's used to recharge the battery.

Yeah, I didn’t realize we were calling hybrids “EV”s now.

Also, the BYDs I’ve been in were chintzy garbage as far as fit and finish goes. Can’t speak to their reliability, or other aspects of them, though.
