Planning to buy BYD Dolphin

[seel]

Hey everyone, I'm about to get a Dolphin and I'm really excited to try it out. Has anyone else gotten one? If so, is there anything you wish you knew before you bought it?

Hey! I’ve had mine since October and I’m loving it. Already hit 5k miles. I’ve owned a few EVs before, and I’d definitely recommend the Dolphin! The only issue I’ve run into is glare from the air vents, but other than that, the performance and efficiency are great. You won’t be disappointed, trust me!

Dolphin will use about 30-50% of the battery every day if you drive 100-200 miles.

If you use that slow charger that comes with the car, it'll take forever to charge. Like, 10-15 hours.

But if you get a home charger, it'll be way faster. And you can save a ton of money by charging at night. There are these special plans that are super cheap at night. You just plug it in when you get home and it'll charge all night.

It'll only cost you a few bucks to charge every night.

If you drive a lot, you might want to get the extended range version. It goes way further – around 420km instead of 350km.

Reviews say it's a comfy ride, but maybe not as fun to drive as that MG4. I test drove it and liked it. It's smaller on the outside but feels pretty roomy inside, kinda like a Honda Jazz. I ended up getting the Atto 3 though.

A lot of places give you free charging now when you buy a car. If you can charge at home overnight, it'll save you a ton of money.
