The lead vehicle departure alert volume is tied to system notifications—double check that 'System Prompt Volume' in sound settings isn't set to zero.

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.

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!
