yep and apparently they are so popular here in Australia the dealer evdirect couldn’t keep up so BYD is taking over it all

From experience (Dolphin owner) I think BYD taking over is because EVDirect has been a bit shit at what they're doing. I'm hopeful stuff like servicing and stuff improve with BYD taking the reigns.

Do you mean the Seagull ? We don't even have that model in Australia or do you mean BYD?

EV direct seemed to be doing a shit job and were caught falt footed with BYDs popularity. Particularly the Shark 6 in Aus. I remember an interview with the EV Direct guy and he said 25 years in the car industry, he'd never seen anything like the popularity of the Shark 6.
