The arrival of a purpose-built ship owned by Chinese car manufacturer BYD that docked in Melbourne on Sunday carrying 5000 vehicles has been described by an analyst as a turning point in the electrification of Australian road transport.

The BYD Zhengzhou, one of a fleet of eight car-carrying ships owned and operated by BYD, normally carries vehicles from China to South America but was dispatched to Australia following a spike in interest in electric cars in March.
