BYD Dolphin has an initial range of 405km. Here are some details about the BYD Dolphin's range: Performance: Equipped with 30.72kWh/44.928kWh batteries, offering NEDC ranges of 301km and 405km respectively. It features an integrated eight-in-one electric drive system (model TZ180XSF) with maximum power of 70kW and top speed of 150km/h. Dimensions: The BYD Dolphin measures 4070mm(4125mm) in length, 1770mm in width, and 1570mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, delivering superior space performance. Features: Comes with a newly designed three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, full LCD instrument panel, and vortex-style air vents. The functional buttons adopt a roller-style design with unique styling. Additionally, the new model is expected to feature BYD's latest DiLink3.0 intelligent connectivity system.

As a seasoned driver who has been driving electric cars for several years, I find the BYD Dolphin's range quite reliable. The official rating is 301km, and in city driving with air conditioning on, it can cover around 250km, which is sufficient for daily commuting. My daily round trip is 50km, so a single charge lasts me three to four days. In winter, when it's colder, the range might drop to about 220km, but using a small blanket or preheating the battery can significantly improve it. Charging is also fast—a quick 30-minute fast charge can replenish 70-80% of the battery, and plugging it into a wall charger overnight fully tops it up, which is super convenient. Occasionally, I drive to the suburbs on weekends, and a 100km round trip isn’t a worry. However, for long-distance travel, I need to check charging stations at service areas in advance to avoid range anxiety. The battery comes with an 8-year or 150,000km warranty, so I can use it with peace of mind. Overall, the range is practical and economical, making it ideal for city dwellers like me.

Bro, the BYD Dolphin's range is seriously decent—it's a super cost-effective entry-level EV. Official data claims 301km, but even with my aggressive driving style, I still get around 230km in summer with AC on, and just over 200km in winter with heating. The drop isn't drastic. Charging is super convenient: a fast charger in my neighborhood tops up half the battery in 30 minutes, so I often plug in while shopping. For city cruising, one weekly charge is enough—saves money and hassle. On highways, maintaining an eco-speed of 90km/h keeps range from plummeting. The regenerative braking system is great, squeezing extra juice on downhill coasts. If you're a newbie buying your first car, the Dolphin's range is plenty, its price is wallet-friendly, and daily commutes plus short trips are stress-free.

How to Calculate the Thrust-to-Weight Ratio of a Car?

The calculation formula for a car's thrust-to-weight ratio is thrust-to-weight ratio equals driving force divided by total vehicle mass. Below is more information about thrust-to-weight ratio: 1. Nature of thrust-to-weight ratio: Thrust-to-weight ratio is one of the important performance indicators of an engine. The higher the thrust-to-weight ratio, the more horsepower a car can accept per unit weight, and the better the car's dynamic performance. 2. Application areas of thrust-to-weight ratio: Thrust-to-weight ratio is generally used as an important technical performance indicator for aircraft and aero engines, and it is a comprehensive performance indicator. The thrust-to-weight ratio not only reflects the level of a jet engine in terms of aerodynamic thermodynamic cycles but also reflects the design level in terms of structure. The thrust-to-weight ratio has a direct impact on an aircraft's flight performance and payload. The aircraft's maximum level flight speed, climb rate, service ceiling, and maneuverability are all related to the aircraft's thrust-to-weight ratio.

Which gear is best for uphill driving in an automatic transmission?

For automatic transmission vehicles, using gears like L (Low) or S (Sport) can help maintain higher engine RPM and greater torque output, making uphill driving easier. Below is relevant information about automatic transmission vehicles: 1. Introduction: Automatic transmission cars typically use hydraulic transmission devices to replace the mechanical clutch in manual transmission cars, hence there is no clutch pedal. These vehicles generally employ an automatic transmission (AT) to regulate speed. While driving, the automatic transmission control system selects the appropriate gear based on engine RPM and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear shifting. 2. Transmission types: There are mainly two types of automatic transmissions used in vehicles. One is the stepped automatic transmission, and the other is the continuously variable transmission (CVT). The most commonly used in passenger cars is the mechanical continuously variable transmission, which utilizes a V-shaped metal drive belt or chain to transmit torque between the driving and driven pulleys' V-shaped grooves.

How to Judge the Distance of Vehicles Using Rearview Mirrors?

If the vehicle behind is close to your car, it will appear larger in the rearview mirror. Below is a relevant introduction about rearview mirrors: 1. Function: Rearview mirrors are tools that allow drivers to directly obtain external information about the rear, sides, and lower parts of the car while seated in the driver's seat. For the convenience of the driver's operation, to prevent traffic safety accidents, and to ensure personal safety, all countries mandate that cars must be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all mirrors must be adjustable in direction. 2. Types: They are divided into interior rearview mirrors (designed to allow drivers to confirm the rear situation without significantly changing their forward line of sight), exterior rearview mirrors (usually mounted on the doors of passenger cars, though in Japan, some are mounted on the fenders), and downward-view mirrors (which enable drivers to see areas outside the front and rear wheels under the car body through the mirror directly in front of the driver's seat, helping them check for people or obstacles near the wheels when reversing or starting forward, thus avoiding injuries, damages, and ensuring convenience and safety for the driver).

What are the precautions for new drivers?

Precautions for new drivers include: 1. Both the driver and front-seat passenger should fasten their seat belts, and the driver should not use a mobile phone while driving; 2. Do not change lanes arbitrarily while driving. When changing lanes or overtaking the vehicle ahead, the turn signal must be activated in advance; 3. When overtaking, only the adjacent lane is allowed. After overtaking, the vehicle should immediately return to the driving lane and must not ride or drive on the lane dividing line. Precautions for driving in rainy weather include: 1. Regardless of road width or surface conditions, drive at a reduced speed in the rain, pay attention to vehicles in front and behind, and be prepared to take various emergency measures in advance; 2. Visibility is reduced in rainy conditions, so maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, constantly monitor the distance to vehicles ahead and behind, and increase the safety margin; 3. Be mindful of pedestrians, drive slowly and patiently yield to them. If necessary, choose a safe place to stop, and never rush to compete with pedestrians or cyclists.

What are the precautions for tire usage?

Tire pressure, uneven wear, and impacts should be monitored during daily use of tires. Below is more information about tires: 1. Tire replacement intervals: Generally, manufacturers set the service life of tires at 3 years. If a vehicle is driven 20,000 kilometers per year, replacement can be considered after 2-3 years. For vehicles driven 10,000 kilometers annually, replacement can be considered after 4-5 years. If only 5,000 kilometers are driven per year, replacement can be considered after 4-5 years. 2. Tire maintenance: (1) Maintain proper tire pressure. (2) Ensure the tread has no cracks. (3) Park on level ground. (4) Avoid splashing water to cool down. (5) Avoid sudden braking.
