BYD Shark PHEV is 40k USD in Australia - there’s just no way they can match that.

The way they match that is by lobbying the Australian government to jack the tariff on Chinese vehicles through the roof compared to vehicles made anywhere else, particularly North America.

With only a 29kwh battery? I'm expecting a much larger battery in Ford's BEV compact pickup.
