<![CDATA[3-Night Off-Grid V2L Camping in the Scottish Highlands (NC500) with Our BYD Seal AWD]]>Took our BYD Seal Excellence AWD up the North Coast 500 in Scotland for a 4-day, 3-night road trip and slept at two off-grid lochside campsites using 3.3 kW V2L power.

3-Night Off-Grid V2L Camping in the Scottish Highlands (NC500) with Our BYD Seal AWD

On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details

  • Ran a 1,500W induction hob, electric kettle, heated throw blankets, and charged our camera drone batteries.
  • Across 3 nights of V2L usage, we used just 14% total battery SOC (~11.5 kWh).
  • Even on single-track Highland roads with 1,200m of elevation gain, regenerative braking recovered tons of energy on the descents!

Has anyone here compared this behaviour before and after the latest DiLink OTA firmware update? Mine felt noticeably smoother in low-speed traffic afterwards.

I checked the service manual torque specs and fuse layout over the weekend and everything matches what you outlined here.

Regen braking in High mode remained super predictable, and the LFP pack voltage delta stayed under 12 mV on my OBD2 scanner.

Dealers rarely explain this clearly during handover, so having verified owner telemetry on the forum saves everyone a lot of guesswork.

Clearance is 145mm and the 360° transparent chassis camera view lets you place the front wheels millimetre-perfect on rough verges.
