BYD
Chinese automaker BYD, short for Build Your Dreams, was founded back in 1995 and started delivering to Australian customers in 2022.
With an EV-only line-up, BYD currently offers two electric cars, the top-selling Atto 3 and the newly launched BYD Dolphin. With a competitive price position, the brand’s mission is to create a clean-energy ecosystem by reducing pollution and global reliance on fossil fuels.
Interestingly, the Atto 3 name is inspired by the smallest time scale unit in physics, the Attosecond.
