250+ MILE ROUND TRIP IN MY BYD DOLPHIN | ELECTRIC VEHICLE | TELSA SUPERCHARGER | PUBLIC CHARGING
Join me and the Mrs as we venture on a 250+ mile round trip from Leeds to Wolverhampton in my BYD Dolphin (Electric Vehicle) In the video we show you what the car is like on range at motorway speeds and how the BYD Dolphin does at motorway speeds. During the journey we charged at a Tesla Supercharger and a Gridserve charger at a service station. The #byd did really well and we're so pleased with how it went! Thanks.

CHARGING MY BYD DOLPHIN AT A TESLA SUPERCHARGER | THE BEST EV CHARGER IN WEST YORKSHIRE? | BYD EV
Просмотров 4,7 тыс.3 месяца назад
Hello! Welcome to the my next video. In todays video I take my #byddolphin to a #teslasupercharger to charge for £0.40 per kWh. As mentioned previously I don't have an EV charger at home (due to get one at the end of the month) so I have been using this charger since getting the car. I don't drive many miles at all so a full charge lasts me a while! The charger is really easy to use, just downl...

Hello everyone! Thanks for viewing the video! Here I am starting my journey into the world of #evs on a pursuit to see if 'EV's are the future'. I have watched many videos from different producers (the positive and the negative) so decided to make up my own mind and after a lot of research when it comes to EV's I purchased a 2024 BYD Dolphin from new. Plenty more videos to come in the future re...

    3 years next March, I'll have owned an ev. Pergeot e208. Best move ever switching to electric and I'm 74. My next car in March will also be an ev, and guess what? .... a Dolphin. I haven't heard or seen written from anyone owning one of these, that they dont like them or had any issues. Far from what I've heard from any other ev owners, including my e208.

    I've had my BYD Dolphin for a week now - so far only driven very short distances, but impressed with it so far. Previous vehicle was an electric Corsa which did, on average a shade under 4 miles p/kwh (though I mostly drove in eco - except in the summer when the eco setting's air con wasn't powerful enough). The BYD has a bigger battery, so has more range. I'm looking forward to being able to take it out on some longer journeys. If you've got a decent at home charger and a decent electricity tariff (e.g. with Octopus), you can easily get really cheap rates. At less than 10p/kwh overnight you can easily get a full charge ( say 200 miles) for ~£6. Yes, charging on public chargers is expensive, but if you're mostly able to charge at home it's a far cheaper vehicle to run and maintain. The thing I find most mad about this vehicle is why it's so much more expensive in the UK -- ~$15,000 in China .... ~£30,000 in the UK!

    1. do you have ventilated front seats? There are many strange talks that some versions have it, some don't. Hyundai Kona has ventilated and heated front seats. 2. Do you have heating steering wheel and mirrors? 3. does it have in-car power outlet to charge for example building tools or hairdryer?

      Hello mate! It certainly doesn't bring the car to a stop and isn't one pedal driving (which I personally like) but you can feel when your foot is off the pedal.

    Just working my way through your videos on the Dolphin, I have seen quite a few on YT but I do like the detail you go into. I am liking this car more and more now and it is useful to see things up close like the controls and the general quality of the seats, etc. As you now have a fitted charger at home, I take it the 3 pin plug was no good for you? Unless I get a charger fitted I am hoping to plug my car (when I get it) into a 3 pin socket when I get home and unplug it again before bed, which would give it around 5 hrs of charge, what is that going to give me in miles?

    Hi, great, insightful video, good to see real life usage of the BYD. Next month, I hope to be in a position to be able to choose an EV (through salary sacrifice), until I see all my options, I am likely to be choosing between BYD Dolphin or the MG4 (as high a spec as I can), I have seen so many pro's & cons between these two cars already. My daily drive is about 70 miles so shouldnt have any range concerns. I am hoping the lease company will provide a charger (I know some car manufactures have given them away with the cars), did you get a wall box with your BYD or the 3 pin home charging cable (I know this will be slow)?
