An independent tool helping Australian buyers make informed decisions about the BYD Shark 6 electric ute
The BYD Shark 6 represents an exciting new option in the Australian ute market, but it's not right for everyone. We created Shark Match to help you understand whether this plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) suits your specific needs.
By analysing your towing requirements, driving patterns, charging access, and annual distance, we provide a personalised match score that takes the guesswork out of your decision.

We assess how your towing and payload requirements align with the Shark 6's rated capacities (2500kg towing, 835kg payload). Using near or over capacity regularly impacts your score.
Your charging access and driving patterns determine how well you can utilise the Shark 6's electric range. Home charging and city driving maximise the PHEV benefits.
Higher annual kilometres combined with good charging access means greater fuel savings. We calculate your potential return on investment based on your usage.
Heavy towing on highways can reduce efficiency and strain the system. We apply a small penalty for high-risk usage patterns to give you realistic expectations.
The Australian ute market is evolving rapidly with the introduction of electric and hybrid options. The BYD Shark 6 is one of the first affordable PHEV utes available, but understanding whether it suits your needs requires more than just reading the spec sheet.
We noticed many potential buyers struggling with questions like: "Will the electric range work for my commute?", "Can it handle my towing needs?", and "Will I actually save money on fuel?" These are complex questions that depend on individual circumstances.
Shark Match was created to provide instant, personalised answers. By combining the Shark 6's technical specifications with your real-world usage patterns, we help you make a confident, informed decision.
