Perth to Exmouth & Ningaloo Reef (2,750 km Coral Coast Road Trip) in BYD Shark 6 Towing a Boat!

On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details

  • Slippery boat ramps at Coral Bay and Exmouth were a breeze with AWD electric torque + Auto Hold (zero rear wheelspin on wet algae ramps).
  • Cleaned and vacuumed the boat at the ramp using a wet/dry shop vac plugged into the Shark's 240V tub socket!

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.
