The Shark is less than half the price of an all-wheel drive Cybertruck, but it also has a much smaller battery.
BYD's Shark is a plug-in hybrid electric pickup. It's on sale in Mexico for less than half the price of a Tesla Cybertruck. American reviewers from The Fast Lane EV put the Chinese truck to the test against the Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1T. The BYD Shark is the Chinese automaker’s first-ever pickup truck, and it’s a pretty interesting one. It has two electric motors making approximately 430 horsepower and a high-voltage battery that packs around 29.5 kilowatt-hours of energy.
Western Automakers Are Cooked That said, how does it compare to the all-American Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1T? For starters, the Shark is smaller than both of them, which means it has a smaller bed. Additionally, the towing capacity is just 5,500 pounds–half that of the Cybertruck. The biggest takeaway from the video is that BYD’s PHEV truck has “exceptional build quality,” with a lot of switches inside, as opposed to the minimalist cabin of the Cybertruck.
