Most people go to the rugby and buy hot chips, Mayor Hon Dr Nick Smith left with a new BYD!
Nick approached BYD Nelson The Car Company's Managing Director, Shane Drummond after a Tasman Mako game where BYD Nelson had a range of BYD's displayed. Nick helped drive the Atto 1 back to our showroom on Rutherford St. After a follow up test drive and some careful consideration, he decided to push go and order a 'Nelson' blue BYD Atto 1 EV. Nick has been an early supporter of electric transport for years and purchased his first EV back in 2008 which only had 80km range! This new Atto 1 with BYD's Blade Battery and 320km range will serve Nick's needs well and bring him into the future of EV driving.
Thanks for choosing BYD's technology Nick, you will continue to be impressed!
