Just renewed my 2024 BYD Dolphin Premium in Perth WA (Oct 2026) with RAC WA: $985/year comprehensive with $900 excess and free windscreen replacement. Cheaper to insure than our old Corolla!

If you're taking out a personal PCP or cash purchase on a BYD in the UK, don't forget to buy standalone Return-to-Invoice (RTI) GAP Insurance online for ~£160 for 4 years (from ALA or MotorEasy) rather than paying the dealer £499!

We had a 19-hour storm blackout in the Dandenong Ranges outside Melbourne last winter. Ran a heavy-duty 15-amp extension lead from our Atto 3 V2L adapter into the kitchen — kept our full-size double-door house fridge, chest freezer, NBN router, TV, and lamps running for 19 hours straight and only used 16% battery!

Just had the big 40,000 km / 24-month service completed on our Atto 3 Extended Range (which includes brake fluid flush + drive motor reduction gear oil replacement). Wanted to compare what service centres are charging and remind everyone you can swap the cabin air filter yourself beforehand!

On-Road Impressions, Efficiency & Setup Details

Overall efficiency, cabin insulation, and LFP Blade Battery thermal stability have been rock-solid across both daily city commuting and 110 km/h highway runs.

@Henry_B_Shark6 760 Nm of instant electric + 1.5T DMO torque with front and rear diff locks makes sand recoveries almost effortless.

@Henry_H_TangEV The flat underbody aero trays on the Seal are super clean—not a single loose clip after driving through heavy winter rain.
