BYD (Build Your Dreams) is the world's largest electric vehicle manufacturer by sales volume. Founded in 1995 as a battery company, BYD is vertically integrated — manufacturing its own batteries, motors, semiconductors and software. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has held a significant stake since 2008. In Ireland, BYD is distributed through an authorised dealer network.
BYD's Blade Battery is an LFP cell arranged in a flat, blade-like configuration directly inside the battery pack — removing the module layer, increasing energy density and structural rigidity. It uses safer LFP chemistry that does not produce thermal runaway under damage or overcharge. BYD Blade Batteries have passed the nail penetration test without smoking or catching fire.
The BYD Shark EREV Extended Range Pickup supports up to 50kW DC and 6.6kW AC charging. At a 7.4kW home wallbox, a full charge takes approximately 6 hours. At a 50kW ESB ecars rapid charger, 10–80% takes around 32 minutes.
The BYD Shark EREV Extended Range Pickup uses CCS (DC fast charging) and Type 2 (AC), compatible with all major Irish networks including ESB ecars, Ionity, EasyGo, Circle K and Applegreen.
Motor tax for the BYD Shark EREV Extended Range Pickup is €500 per year — the rate for a zero-emission N1 pickup in this weight class. Commercial vehicle motor tax in Ireland is based on unladen weight or payload band, not CO₂ emissions. This represents significant annual savings versus diesel equivalents.
