Driving a BYD Qin is actually quite straightforward. When I first started driving it, it felt like driving a regular automatic car. Sit in the driver's seat, fasten the seatbelt, press the brake pedal, and push the start button on the center console—the car powers up, and the dashboard lights up showing it's ready. Rotate the gear selector to D for drive or R for reverse, gently press the accelerator, and you're off; when you brake to a stop, it automatically goes into park mode. The key is in the driving mode selection: Pure EV mode is great for short city trips, offering quick acceleration and no noise; Hybrid HEV mode is convenient for long distances, as the engine intelligently kicks in to recharge. For charging, you can use a household socket or a fast-charging station—making it a habit to charge every night can save a lot on fuel costs. Beginners should avoid driving too aggressively and take time to get familiar with the regenerative braking function, which recovers energy and extends the range. There's nothing fancy about the operation—just practice a few times, and it becomes second nature.
