Yes I have same feelings judging by the delays in deliveries, they will not be able to complete the factory in 2026. My guess is 2027

[om26er]

did you get your atto3 yet?

[ifadey]

Alhamdulilah received delivery appointment call today before aftar. My delivery is scheduled tomorrow at 2:00 PM InshAllah.

Hi everyone,

please share your personal experience for Atto3 for following.
1. Delivered after how much time of booking
2. Battery Range within City
3. How many hours it took for fully charging in house.

[om26er]

These are all going to be helpful answers for me as well. From BYD dealership to my home in Multan its 351KM. If I am to get the car delivery from Lahore its going to be a Major challenge to drive it back home.

Someone told me there is a charging station at Thokar Niaz Baig, perhaps I could charge it full there and try my luck by driving below 100km/h keeping AC cooling limited etc.

1. Currently they are giving delivery month of April but I find this hard to believe because there's a huge backlog that need to clear. I think if you book today, you get in May.

2. Range within City is between 280~330 km depending on your driving behavior, ambient temperature. These are the numbers reported by different owners globally. But I received mt Atto 3 yesterday and drove approx 20~25 km. I got average of 11 kWh/100 km on the instrument cluster which roughly translates to 420 km. I drove on varying speeds in city yesterday with multiple short trips.
   

   

3. You don't fully charge EVs every day from 0% to 100%. Owners usually plug the charger when it's 30~40%. But if you want the numbers for complete charge, then the level 1 (2 kW) charger that you get free with the vehicle can take up to 25 hours for 0-100% charge. With level 2 (7 kW) charger, the charging time will reduce to 7~8 hours. I got the level 2 charger free of cost due to early booking. Current bookings are not getting it with the vehicle. BYD's original level 2 charger may cost around Rs 300,000. But if you buy third party charger from AliExpress, you can get it under Rs 100,000.

You maybe able to travel between Lahore and Multan. Just keep your speed under 100 kph specially if you don't want to stop for charging. But for the safe side, better stop at Abdul Hakim for charging. The charger is outside of toll plaza. Here's the contact number of the person responsible there.
Kamran (Abdul Hakim EV Charger)
+92 300 6170021

Other than that, there are now 3 chargers available on the M2 (Lahore-Islamabad) motorway.
Behra, Pindi Bhatitian (outside toll), and one more which I am forgetting. That one is also outside toll.
Charging infrastructure will soon expand and after an year or two we will have enough chargers that we will be able to easily travel between cities InshAllah. I am hopeful because multiple companies have announced about their investment plans for the EV chargers.

The delivery experience was amazing. The staff in the flagship store is educated and did the quick overview of the features before handing over the vehicle. I think positive culture is due to company operated flagship stores. BYD won't be giving any dealership to private owners. Everything will be company operated like Tesla.

Do say MashAllah

2 key fobs, NFC card (used to open.close the vehicle), thermos cup

Complimentary 7 kW charger for early bookings. Other than this 2 kW charger is also included in the trunk

Congratulations on finally getting this, MashAllah. Looks like it was worth the wait.

[sohikun]

Beautiful , congrats ! Ma Sha Allah.

[ifadey]

Yes worth the wait. I waited 1 year for getting my 1st EV. Last year in March I booked Seres. Cancelled Seres booking in Oct and booked Atto immediately after they revealed the prices. It was a no brainier for me to choose BYD CBU at this price point. The difference between Seres CKD and Atto CBU is 6 lacs. Atto's price include freight chargers and 7 kW charger worth 3 lacs rupees.

Furthermore I checked the warranty booklet. BYD Pakistan is following international service schedule i.e. 20,000 km or 1 year which ever comes first. This is a relief for me because I was worried due to malpractices of Pakistanis not following global schedules for service.

Started charging with level 1 (2 kW) charger last night (11 PM). It was charged from 66% to 100% in the morning after 8 AM. Not bad for a slow charger.

For level 2 (7 kW) charger installation, BYD will send a team to my location in 1 or 2 weeks.

For level 2 (7 kW) charger installation, BYD will send a team to my location in 1 or 2 weeks.

First of all, congrats!.

Why does this charger need to be installed, whats different about it? Also, do share your experience with adas after some time.

[ifadey]

Level 2 is a high power charger which can't work home wiring and sockets. It require thick wires, heavy duty breakers based on the charger's power. The easiest way to install it connect the wires directly from meter. Also, ground connection is must. It won't work without ground.

Even BYD's level 1 charger don't work without ground.

[ifadey]

Check this video if you don't know the terminology Level 1, Level 2 and DC Fast Charging

Here's the guide for level 1 charging setup which I did before my vehicle came.

Here are the recommendations for break-in period of EVs from different manufacturers

Owning an EV have a bit of learning curve. Those who understand will have better ownership experience. I will keep making videos as I move forward.

Masha'Allah, Congratulations dear!!!

Awesome Machine.

Will their flagship center act only as delivery center or service provider as well?

I remember initially during their launch event, BYD mentioned 3 vehicles including 1 PHEV as well. Please share if have any information on their PHEV vehicle.
