BYD Sealion 5 Owners Reviews

Having driven the vehicle for over 1 week >700km, I used 4L of Petrol. Daily Round Trips to work 70m was all electric and when i had an family emergency the engine kicked in to deal with the extra/unplanned commute. A small lifestyle change is required, Just charge when you can like when you plan to sleep or watch a movie at the home or when your at work. Charge at home (slow 8-10 hours) 1.8kwh per hour or charge at work (free 4kwh per hour so about 4 hours). Max battery usage for all EVs is limited to 75% of the battery. And if you do not charge no worries the engine kicks in giving real world 16km per litre, (i drive conservatively max 100kmph) and use the regenerative braking 400 meters before traffic lights/stops, its small adaption that allows great fuel consumption. My max EV range is closer to 80-90km whilst i have still not emptied the fuel tank, only using 4L out of the 47L (max available before refueling, tank size 52L). So far my projected fuel consumption after 1 month will be 71km per L as there will be about 10 out of 45 trips that i will use more than the battery range, total monthly km will be 3,000km (35 trip 100% electric 2200km and 10 trips Combination 800km )
