A technical guy I know recently bought a BYD Seal. A no-nonsense bloke. His review below (note he uses standard grid power to charge at home, you can get much cheaper rates again than what he's using). I got a BYD Seal Performance. The middle of the range. 62K onroad – 7K the govt gave me back in Stamp duty and EV rebate. So 55K all up. Overall A+ Craps all over my Lexus IS 200…and I loved that car. I'm shocked how good it is at the price. Its 69K Euros in Europe! And they love it too. Normally have to pay 150K for what it has. 650kms range (btw BYD have a new battery that will go 1,000kms) Charge off my normal power point in the garage. 40-60$ to recharge from empty (Lexus was 100$ -120$ in fuel for the same range • Features of a 150K+ car • Battery is blade tech…only BYD has atm. Can't catch fire, if one blade reduces you replace it for 100$ not 10K • Battery is part of the body so protects…safest car on the road • Looks great • Good boot/Frunk space • Screens drive by android. Same a your phone • Big inside: Lots of storage space + lots of room to sit - 5 people 6 ft 4 with comfort ……more than I can list…VERY happy! I drive 200kms per day to Sydney and back….just charges over night in the garage for 10$
