Just wait till we get the coveted Fangchengbao Leopard

Thankfully, BYD decided to use the Denza brand for Fangchengbao. Yangwang will still be called Yangwang apparently ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jaecoo is a global brand because it doesn't exist in China.

No, Fang Cheng Bao or Fangchengbao and Denza are not the same.
Fang Cheng Bao is focused on off-road vehicles, while Denza is a luxury brand. Some Fang Cheng Bao models are being rebadged and sold under the Denza brand in international markets. For example, the Fang Cheng Bao Bao 5 is sold as the Denza B5 in Australia. It's no guarantee all markets will get Denza name

BYD had announced that Fangchengbao would be sold under the Denza marque for most export markets including Australia and Europe.

can anyone confirm how much does atto3 cost with all the taxes and how much is the registration charges for Islamabad? also from reading the thread, it seems that charger is being sold separately for 3.5 lac so total cost would be around 10M?
and if we don't have solar at home and use a 3 phase meter then is it going to cost more than the petrol car?

[ifadey]

Current deliveries are still getting 7 kW chargers along with 2 kW charger but they keep saying there's no guarantee when 7 kW charger could stop. If you don't get a 7 kW charger, you don't need to buy a charger from BYD. You can import from AliExpress under 1 lac. If you are a low mileage driver, 2 kW charger can work for you as well.

Registration cost in Islamabad is between 280,000~290,000. Keep in mind 270,000 is the advance tax and 10,000 is the income tax. Both of these taxes could be adjusted in your tax file returns. If you are a salaried person, you could get it adjusted from your employer. The rest of the remaining amount is minimal, around 10,000.

If you don't have solar but still want to own an EV, I highly recommend you install a separate single phase meter for EV charging only. You will save around 40~50% when compared to fuel costs.

Just like almost nobody goes to Lu** university from Pakistan.

There's actually quite a few Pakistani students there but we get your point!

and if we don't have solar at home and use a 3 phase meter then is it going to cost more than the petrol car?

Yes if you use commercial/public chargers, that is true, gonna cost more. I don't see electricity price coming down anytime soon. Need solar at home for sure.

@iFadey mentions a separate single phase meter may work too, but I'm not sure if it's going to work for long route driving, only within city maybe.

I'm sure they try their best to hide where they study...

If one wants to purchase the byd atto3 or similar model in the near future, is it better to wait for ckd model after approx 1 year so possibly the price may be cheaper? Or possibly have a smaller model released like byd dolphin? Or is it better to purchase at the current byd atto3 price?

[ifadey]

Prices can come down in 2 conditions.
1) If dollar remains stable
2) If some competition comes and hurt BYD sales

Personally I couldn't wait to own an EV, hence bought it as soon as it's launched. I plan to keep it long term and try to drive as much as possible so resale doesn't matter to me. The quality we got in CBU form is top notch. I have never seen such quality in any of the previous CKDs I have owned. This is my first CBU model.

Rest is your choice.

[pwuser167550015690]

BYD routinely drops prices significantly in other markets (even got into legal trouble and govt action for doing that in Thailand) but it's not clear if Mega Motors would do the same as well. We have to remember that it's not BYD that's selling the cars in Pakistan, it's Mega Motors so they have some say in how they price the vehicles.

BYD is seeing a sales decline in China which might continue for a while after their "fake" sales strategy was exposed so they might want to keep revenue up by pricing cars higher in other export markets to make up for the decline in China.

When BYD Atto 3 is launching with 62kwh battery, waiting for that

[ifadey]

After CKD assembling starts in Pakistan

[awais.9]

Thank you for such a detailed response.
This means, its going to cost almost 10M with everything and I wonder if they would add another meter since we already have 3 three phase meters or who knows if their palms are greased they may do anything.
I was going through the thread and I got interested in know the total cost to see if I can afford it without lease option.

BYD has reduced the fuel consumption (by software update) of its fifth-generation DM (Dual Mode) hybrid technology to just 2.6 liters per 100 kilometers when the battery is depleted, a 10 percent reduction from the previous 2.9 liters.

The fuel efficiency optimization will be provided to all BYD vehicles equipped with the fifth-generation DM technology through over-the-air (OTA) upgrades, the company said.

The fifth-generation DM technology achieves an engine thermal efficiency of 46.06 percent and a combined range of 2,100 kilometers, which is three times that of traditional fuel vehicles, the company said at the time.

The first models equipped with the fifth-generation DM technology were the BYD Qin L DM-i and Seal 06 DM-i, which were launched on May 28 last year, both with a combined range of up to 2,100 kilometers.

Since then, all of BYD's newly launched hybrid models have been based on the latest hybrid technology.

BYD reduces fuel consumption of hybrid tech by 10%, cars already sold can benefit from software update

New charging station coming soon in Faisalabad, hopefully after a week or 2.
The location is near Lyallpur Galleria Mall
