Pros & Cons for T&T
✓ Pros
- The only electric-capable pickup in the Caribbean market. 430 HP AWD.
- PHEV powertrain means any gas station tops you up when the battery runs low — no charging infrastructure required, no range anxiety on remote work sites or long hauls.
- LFP Blade Battery — available in RHD for the T&T market through the official BYD dealer, backed by manufacturer warranty and authorised technicians.
✗ Cons
- ~100 km EV range covers daily commuting well, but heavy working days will lean more on the gas engine — running costs remain lower than a diesel pickup, but the EV advantage is reduced at high daily mileage.
- At TTD $495,000 this is a top-of-market purchase — buyers should be clear on whether the pickup body is genuinely needed versus a standard SUV at a lower price point.
