China's BYD Shark Vs. Tesla Cybertruck, Rivian R1S: ‘Exceptional Build Quality’

  • BYD's Shark is a plug-in hybrid electric pickup.
  • It's on sale in Mexico for less than half the price of a Tesla Cybertruck.
  • American reviewers from The Fast Lane EV put the Chinese truck to the test against the Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1T.

The BYD Shark is the Chinese automaker’s first-ever pickup truck, and it’s a pretty interesting one. It has two electric motors making approximately 430 horsepower and a high-voltage battery that packs around 29.5 kilowatt-hours of energy. But it also has a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine under the hood that acts as a generator.
