110 KMH highway real world BYD Sealion 6 Fuel Test over 400km (AWD/Premium) BYD SONG PLUS DM-i

[@mightygood1]

4L/100km, 60L tank, 1500km range?

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

no this is a missleading stat in the cars system. Its more like 7L/100km 60L tank with mostly 110km/hr driving with no charge station support is around 800km per 50L of fuel.

[@mightygood1]

@AllTerrainActionEV pretty thirsty.

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

​@@mightygood1 2.2T tare weight, largish vehicle and 110km/hr movement its a pretty good economy for those factors but yes you could get a cheap ICE vehicle for similar economy, except then for daily driving you dont get EV only benifits during the week. Reasonable final result imo.

[@ainsleyturner2875]

Great video Chris and handy information. Get my SL6 today, can't wait.

[@roberthamilton1301]

Thanks for the video Mate

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

No worries thanks!

[@MichaelCoates]

How are they calculating the 4l/100km? 28.2l of fuel usage over 400km is more like 7l/100km (28/4)

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

This is correct I’ll explain how they work that out in another video soon.

[@mickjoebills]

I think it is worth noting what the predicted range is for the subsequent 800km trip, because subsequent days on road trips may well begin without the benefit of the battery being charged via the charge port overnight. Put another way, how much battery was left at the end of your trip?

[@sticks2478]

The NSW highway patrol will be sending out a letter about that 115 in a 110 shortly 😂

[@misterjay4347]

So the consumption combined is 4.0 liter per 100km?

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

No this is not the correct way to read this, I have a video to explain this better soon. The way the computer does this calculation is bad.

[@petel5781]

Did you refuel it when you got home? How many litres did it use after 800 k’s and was the computer accurate in the fuel consumption measurement?

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

Ahhhhh glad you commented this now just in time l!! Follow up video coming.

[@ahmedalsadi0010]

can you charge it above 6.6kwh. i have mine but is there away to fast charge it.

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

@@ahmedalsadi0010 DC charging at 18kWh is an option for the Sealion 6 at a DC charger. At home I’m on my 7kW charger I get around 6.6kW/hr as well.

[@mleolv426]

Why do you have it set to keep the battery at 70%?

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

This video explains it - but it’s detailed and the best way to stretch out battery life and maximum battery efficiency if you’re going to do more than the capable EV only range in a single drive. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3qzf5pva9h1mtU

[@l33tr4n55]

The EV motors are way more efficient than my Camry Hybrid at 7L/100kms

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

@@l33tr4n55 overall electric motors will be more efficient - if we could access chargers easily. In Australia though as it is outside of metro area electric first vehicles are quite well suited for now and maybe for the next 3-5 years until we catch up with infrastructure. Till then this is great solution to the changing evolution!

[@RicknMorty85]

Definitely would have done more kms doing a a mix of city/highway driving. Fuel consumption is always high on motorway driving since you did the entire trip on the motorway. Do another video of normal day driving in the city etc, it should go over 1000km

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

I will do this test, have you had good results this way? Presumably the EV benifits is start/stop traffic combination of better low speed efficiency and regen. Makes sense, this was just to see how it manages on the highway speeds. Title is a hit misleading now that I think about it so has been updated to rear 110km/hr test and will make a city driving one too. Thank you for your feedback.

[@xboxice2005]

You should have fully charge the battery.

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

@@xboxice2005 it is true, but even 20% power it would have made a difference of maybe 10-15km MAX

[@HarryWhither]

Around the 12 minute mark, you’re wittering on about economy whilst driving in HEV Sport mode, probably the least economic way of driving it 😂.

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

Is true, but if you drive this car on a daily basis you’ll quickly learn sports just adjusts the input curve for power demand and top end allowable power output, if you drive like a conservative driver it’ll return similar eco figures - when on highway I make it a point to stay in normal or sports so I have instant input response when I want it eg. Overtaking or getting around cars.

[@mirzakul2147]

I’m pretty sure its going to consume more fuel on the highway because the engine has to run to power the motors. EV’s are generally not as efficient on the highway. Im sure you could get a lot closer to the their stated 1000km range if you had more city and urban driving which from what I can see in your video’s you do a lot of highway and extra urban driving therefore your range will be lower

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

It’s a good theory, I actually just did around 200 from this location to another at 100km/hr and that has dropped ~2L/100km it looks like for that distance. So as you say it’ll improve as the avg speed reduces, same reason why driving to work on my EV only days if go via freeway I get to work using only 24% and if I go the 80km/hr way I get there using only 17%

[@tld8102]

can this car actually do 1000km?

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

AWD model around 800-850km - 2WD model I have heard people report 1,000km is actually achievable

[@sudaiskhan1320]

WHY YOu driving in Sports mode "Effective way my Foot"

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

Highway driving eco, normal or sports makes little difference. It’s all in the acceleration curve aspect I prefer to be in sports on highway for overtaking power.

[@nawedfaizi2042]

I was thinking of going for a long drive to see the fuel consumption. But thanks for the video. Just wanted to see if you could help me to download youtube and netflix. I am located in hallam.

[@AllTerrainActionEV]

@@nawedfaizi2042 someone has put their hand up for me to do theirs next Saturday, so a video will develop for a basic how to.

[@nawedfaizi2042]

@AllTerrainActionEV thanks Chris will be waiting for that.
