I swapped my gas truck for a Chinese hybrid. The BYD Shark is great to drive, but one thing worries me.

Wayne Dopson runs a renovation business in Brisbane , Australia , and bought a BYD Shark hybrid pickup truck in March .

He said it's great to drive compared with his old gas truck, but fears it may be obsolete in a few years .

Chinese EV makers are expanding rapidly in tariff-free Australia , putting Tesla under pressure.

For me, though, the Shark is great. It's a pleasure to drive, and it's nice being able to drive around knowing it's not costing me and not costing the planet either..
