Bhera is a crowded place. Ask your friend to better charge from pindi bhattian.

Once more EV chargers are installed, I hope this issue will be reduced.

I actually did the other day when I was idling for a while in 45ºC sun. I had the AC set to Lo for both zones and cranked performance to Strong which puts everything in max mode.

After about 20-25 minutes the compressor seemed to shut off for like 1-2 minutes because it had stopped blowing cold air. Not sure what that was about but I was almost done waiting at that point and started to drive, and it turned back on instantly.

I'll try to remember this and bring it up with the service staff once I'm due for my first service in a couple of months.

I usually make a note of things on my phones that i have to remind myself to talk about during maintenance visits. Coming back to the issue, i dont think i ever hadit. However, I hardly ever idle in the car unless forced to by traffic or working on car and have to idle.

Can BYD users share if BYD App works in Pakistan and also have PTA issues of onboard SIM been resolved?

[AkbarGr8]

BYD app has still not been enabled. Current ETA is unknown. We heard end of May but the month is almost over.

[umer3611]

Yeah that would be awesome as the app offers a lot of features and is a real game changer.

There is a lot of talk of AC kicking in with a lag ... what is the maximum distance of remote start
(using key, not app) while walking towards the vehicle?

[ifadey]

No idea about key fob range but with app you can remote start from anywhere in the world with internet connectivity.

Many people are using key fob when at home. They remote start the vehicle with AC on before starting the journey.

Chinese EV giant BYD plans to enter Japan’s 18 billion USD microcar market in 2025 with a low-cost electric vehicle as part of its expanding global strategy. Atsuki Tofukuji, president of BYD Japan, confirmed in an interview with the Financial Times that the company will launch a new micro-EV explicitly designed for overseas markets and not sold in China.

...

The new kei car will feature a 20 kWh battery with a WLTC range of 180 km, support 100 kW fast charging, and a heat pump HVAC system. Aimed at competing with Japan’s top-selling electric microcars—the Nissan Sakura and Mitsubishi eK X EV—it may become the first foreign EV explicitly designed for the Japanese kei segment. As microcars grew to 46.3% of Japan’s EV sales in 2022, up from just 2.6% in 2021, BYD is positioning itself to tap into this rapidly expanding market, having already sold 4,530 vehicles in Japan by March 2025.

BYD eyes Japan’s 18 billion USD micro-car market with new EV, spotted testing

I received my atto 3 yesterday. Loving the car. They also gave me the 7kw charger for free. Can someone please share the WhatsApp group link with me? Also, I can't figure out how to play music via Bluetooth. The Bluetooth connects but doesn't play music

[ifadey]

As far as I remember,you need to tap the play button in the USB/Bluetooth tab of music app after connecting your phone via Bluetooth

[abbyyyy]

Yeah I had to select Bluetooth music. Working now

I checked one ATTO 3, and there was a loud noise inside the cabin — it sounded like a compressor or motor. I'm not sure if it was a faulty unit, but the noise was quite annoying. The AC blower was also loud when the owner used remote start.

Have you noticed any similar noise inside the cabin? For comparison, my Elantra's cabin is much quieter.

I didn’t take the ATTO 3 for a test drive — I only checked it while it was parked.

Also, is there any feature in the ATTO 3 to limit AC charging speed? For example, can you reduce the charging rate from 2kW to 1kW?

[ifadey]

It's AC compressor and it's noisy for the first few min until the set temperature is maintained. In my experience it's noisy from the outside. Noise is less in the cabin as compared to ICE vehicle. Cabin insulation is very good in Atto 3.

There's no AC charging power limit in an EV. But some chargers do have setting to limit charging power. As an example Feyree chargers have such setting. Many people have bought feyree chargers from AliExpress.

[om26er]

When remote start is used, the AC works in Max mode (turbo) in that case blower is faster than the max speed of 7 hence the noise. However once the car is unlocked it comes back to its previously set speed

[om26er]

I think the AC on Atto3 doesnt have the chill in its cooling especially during the day.

My guess is in super hot weathers the battery gets hot and ac system gets distributed to cool the battery as well hence the problem.

I do want to get the AC gas checked to make sure its at the ideal level.

Also the auto mode on the ac is not well calibrated and it sets the compressor to low power mode very quickly and the fan is set to very low speeds.

[om26er]

In super hot weathers car ususally takes 3kw power just for the ac and yet the cabin isnt very comfortable if there are more people in the car. On contrast a household 1.5 ton AC takes much less electricity. In Multan its 43 celcius these days.

So perhaps I should get the AC gas pressure checked. My experience with different cars tells me the compressor is either small or not efficient enough for Multan weathers

[mgalaxy3]

Good to get some critical review of Atto 3 as well. Seems like AC is its weak point and can’t cool enough
