Matt does great videos. But I wonder if BYD really need to step in here and start publishing some more information to drivers about how to best drive a hybrid.  Matt getting just over 300 km on a tank as the full range is ridiculous. When you watch the video, I think I can see why, he runs the petrol and battery completely empty and then by the look of it sets the SOC for the battery to 70%, which means when it gets underway again the petrol engine is going absolutely berserk trying to drive the wheels and also charge the battery to that very high rate of charge. I wonder what range he would’ve got if he left the battery at its minimum SOC and drove in parallel hybrid mode, which is what the Shark is designed to do at high speeds. https://youtu.be/cyEsMzo0Qv0?si=INx-TLVzD2gAd_35
