Sydney to Canberra & Snowy Mountains (Jindabyne) 1,100 km Spring Touring Log in BYD Atto 3
-
Drove our BYD Atto 3 Extended Range from Sydney down to Canberra, Cooma, and Jindabyne in the Snowy Mountains (1,120 km round trip).
On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details
- Averaged 15.8 kWh/100km across the Federal and Monaro Highways.
- Topped up at the Cooma Evie 350 kW station while having lunch—pulled a steady 88 kW all the way past 55% SOC.

That Evie charger in Cooma right before climbing up to Jindabyne is in the best spot.

@Amelia_R_Seal How did the seat heaters and heat pump perform on the chilly 3°C mornings in Jindabyne?

@DanielFraser Pre-warmed the cabin from the BYD App while having breakfast at the hotel—walked out to a toasty warm car with defrosted glass!

For anyone reading this later: make sure you enable SOC calibration by charging to 100% on AC at least once every two to three weeks so the BMS range estimator stays dead accurate.

Can confirm from my own ownership log — keeping tyre pressures at 2.5 bar cold instead of the dealer-delivered 2.2 bar immediately shaved about 0.8 kWh/100km off my highway average.

Subscribed to this thread. Has anyone here compared this behaviour before and after the latest DiLink OTA firmware update? Mine felt noticeably smoother in low-speed traffic afterwards.

Spot on breakdown. One detail I noticed after logging another 2,500 km is that the thermal management loop stays completely silent below 32°C ambient unless you chain two fast DC sessions back-to-back.
