BYD Shark vs. Diesel Ute Calculator

All defaults are based on my results in a stock Shark and my overnight discount electricity tariff. Adjust them to match your own, especially if either ute is running different tyres or is modified. This page is experimental and made with Ai support, the numbers make sense to me but no guarantees

The Math: We use a "Priority EV" model. The Shark uses 100% electricity for the first 80km. After that, the petrol engine takes over. Burning 1L of Diesel produces ~2.68kg of CO2, and 1L of Petrol produces ~2.31kg of CO2.
