BYD Shark plug-in hybrid pickup truck revealed for Mexico with more than 400 horsepower and nearly 30 kWh of battery capacity.
Hybridization is rapidly spreading across pickup truck lines across the world and across segments, from the little Ford Maverick to the big F-150 and Toyota Tundra. Plug-ins are coming up, too, with the Ramcharger and the Jeep Gladiator 4xe on the horizon. Now you'll also find a plug-in hybrid powertrain in the new BYD Shark, the Chinese pickup truck that's headed for Mexico this year, and it has some intriguing specifications.
Speaking of 62 miles, that's the estimated electric range from the 29.6 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack that's nestled between the frame rails. That's on the NEDC test cycle, and range would undoubtedly be shorter on the EPA test cycle. We think a range somewhere between 30 and 40 miles would be likely if it were rated for the U.S. It also features both AC and DC fast charging with a CCS connector.
