@matt_w84 Also worth noting on the DMO stationary generator mode: even with the A/C running in the cabin and a 240V kettle plugged into the tray, the 1.5T engine barely ticks over at 1,600 rpm.

@nina_b_akl The Sealion 7 on e-Platform 3.0 Evo looks like the sweet spot of the entire BYD electric SUV range.

@Dominic_EV Did you get a 4-wheel alignment done at the same time? My factory rear toe was slightly out from shipping, and aligning it stopped inner-shoulder wear completely.

@AlistairCooper Shopping around for EV-friendly insurers made a huge difference at renewal time—saved nearly $450 by switching.

@Toby_L_TangEV Seeing heaps of eMax 7 MPVs doing executive airport transfers now—drivers love that the LFP Blade Battery can be charged to 100% daily without degradation worries.

Here is our long-term ownership report on the BYD Dolphin Premium (60.4 kWh Blade Battery, 150 kW motor, independent multi-link rear suspension) at 10,000 km Check-In.

Why the Dolphin Punches Above Its Weight:

• Efficiency: Averaging 12.6 kWh/100km in city/suburban driving and 15.8 kWh/100km on 100 km/h dual carriageways.
• Packaging: Because of the e-Platform 3.0 flat floor, rear knee room rivals mid-size SUVs despite the compact 4,290 mm exterior footprint.
• V2L Utility: Using the included 3.3 kW V2L discharge adapter during weekend beach picnics and power outages has been effortless.
