London to Cornwall (St Ives & Padstow) 640-Mile Bank Holiday Road Trip in BYD Seal Design

On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details

  • Left London at 100% SOC and made it all the way to Exeter Services (180 miles) with 34% SOC still in reserve!
  • Plugged into the Gridserve 350 kW Electric Forecourt at Exeter—peaked at 152 kW and was back to 85% before we finished our pasties.

Zero rattles in the cabin so far, and the 360-degree camera clarity at night is still the best in its price bracket.
