London to Cornwall (St Ives & Padstow) 640-Mile Bank Holiday Road Trip in BYD Seal Design
-
Just back from a 640-mile round trip from North London down the A303 to St Ives and Padstow in Cornwall in our Ice Blue BYD Seal Design RWD.
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.

Making it from North London to Exeter with 34% battery left to spare takes all the range anxiety out of Cornwall bank holiday traffic!

@R_Wright_UK Ice Blue is such a classy colour on the Seal—hides dust and rain spots really well too.

@TowingWithDMO How did the narrow Cornish stone-hedged lanes feel with the 360° camera auto-triggering at low speed?

@Pete_Barossa_SA Setting the 360° camera to pop up automatically whenever the ultrasonic sensors detect a tight hedgerow saved our wing mirrors twice in St Ives!

My experience has been almost identical over the past 4 months. Zero rattles in the cabin so far, and the 360-degree camera clarity at night is still the best in its price bracket.
