When considering a used electric vehicle, one question always dominates the conversation:
How long will the battery and drivetrain really last?
At AmazingEV, your used EV marketplace, we might just have stumbled on an Australia record EV. We’ve just listed a car that doesn’t just answer that question—it obliterates the doubts.
Meet the 2023 BYD Atto 3 Extended Range that has achieved a genuine milestone: 170,000 kilometres on the same battery – in just 2 years.
8 Years of Driving, Compressed into Two
For the average Australian driver, reaching 170,000 kilometres takes well over eight years. This BYD Atto 3, registered in 2023, has conquered that distance in a fraction of the time. This phenomenal mileage is a monumental testament to the endurance and operational excellence of the latest generation of electric cars.
This isn’t a pampered weekend car; this is a true workhorse that has proven itself day in and day out, showcasing exceptional reliability under demanding, high-mileage conditions.
The best part? It remains in excellent condition and is working perfectly.
The Blade Battery: The Real-World Durability Test
The conventional wisdom that high-mileage EVs are a risk is officially outdated. This Atto 3, likely the highest-mileage example of its kind in the country, has acted as the ultimate real-world stress test for the acclaimed BYD Blade Battery.
The fact that this vehicle continues to operate flawlessly after such intensive use provides invaluable confidence:
Drivetrain Longevity: The simplicity of the electric motor has been proven. Zero oil changes, minimal moving parts, and reliable performance after 170,000 km.
Battery Endurance: The Blade Battery has demonstrated remarkable robustness, showcasing its ability to handle countless charge cycles and maintain its integrity for long-term ownership.
Features That Endure
Beyond the record mileage, this particular Atto 3 is the Extended Range model, meaning it started with the larger 60.48 kWh usable battery, a fantastic foundation for any high-mileage user.
And it still offers all the modern features that made the Atto 3 a sales success:
The iconic 12.8-inch Rotating Infotainment Screen is fully functional and ready to spin.
The suite of driver assistance systems (Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitoring) ensures safety after a long journey.
The V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) capability remains operational, offering power on the go.
An Unparalleled Value Proposition
This high-mileage Atto 3 represents a fantastic opportunity for practical buyers. If you are a rideshare driver, a courier, or a long-distance commuter looking for a low-cost entry into a reliable EV, this car offers the absolute best value for money.
You’re not just buying a car; you’re buying an officially proven piece of EV history—a vehicle that has already endured the toughest test of all and emerged triumphant.
