Australia Day Weekend Camping at Jervis Bay: 3 Families, 2 BYD Shark 6 Utes & 1 Sealion 7!
-
Three families from our Sydney owners group camped together at Booderee National Park (Jervis Bay) over the long weekend with two BYD Shark 6 Utes and a Sealion 7!
On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details
Ran our entire communal camp kitchen (induction teppanyaki plate, dual air fryers, commercial ice maker, and festoon lighting) off the two Shark 6 V2L outlets for 4 days straight and still drove home to Sydney with 55% battery left!

Running a commercial ice maker, teppanyaki plate, and dual air fryers in the bush at Jervis Bay is glamping at its finest!

@alex_w_london Booderee National Park rangers love EVs/PHEVs running V2L because there's zero generator noise disturbing the kangaroos and neighbours.

@marco_milano Count us in for the Easter long weekend trip down to Mystery Bay!

Good catch on those specifications. I checked the service manual torque specs and fuse layout over the weekend and everything matches what you outlined here.
-
Completely agree on the practical usability. Being able to run a 2,000W induction stove and espresso maker off the V2L socket while only dropping 3% SOC over an afternoon is a game changer.
-
Appreciate the honest perspective! Every EV and PHEV platform has trade-offs, and seeing real long-term feedback like this is why independent owner forums are way more useful than brochure numbers.
-
Thanks for sharing the real-world numbers! Dealers rarely explain this clearly during handover, so having verified owner telemetry on the forum saves everyone a lot of guesswork.

Great write-up! If anyone is on the fence, definitely take a 45-minute test drive on coarse-chip highway tarmac first — the acoustic glass makes a bigger difference than the spec sheet suggests.
