Great deal.. wow, much cheaper than i expected.i was praying this would be priced close to 2M, coz i was expecting this to be around 2.5M.. As much power as it has, V2L capable, can run up to 100km on full EV which means you wont be needing that much fuel if the distance to your work is below 100km total, number coding exempted, this is just amazing.. And if BYD is serious to the Ph market, by providing all the support, this is a game changer.. Considering CRV and Rav4 priced at 2.5M, is just ridiculous.. This even seems to have a better interior too.. The only thing going for Toyota and Honda is the percieved reliability with as much as 1 million price difference..😮😮😮

CRV RAV4 much larger than this. Corolla Cross is the closest match in size, powertrain and price. But I agree on brand power, this Sealion into price at 1.4M

[@riph-a]

I never have a PHEV car and I'm a bit curious. Can both the engine and the motor work by itself? I mean if (God forbid) one of them error or break down or having trouble, will the car still start and running with the ones not broken? Same question for an HEV, though I suspect on HEV the electric motor won't work individually because it is relatively small and being charged by the engine. But can the engine still start if there's a problem with the motor? Anyone can help answering this? Thank you, much appreciated :)

[@CrossCuntyRic]

For mild parallel hybrids the engine will always be on and the motors will supply additional power only. Think Okavango and Suzuki Ertiga. For full parallel hybrids like the Corolla Cross Alphard Camry and Zenix, the batteries can run the car on its own at moderate speeds less than 49 kph. Until they deplete. Then the engine will charge them while running the wheels. In both cases the engine is connected to the wheels. So if the batteries go bust the car will still function as a normal internal combustion car. This BYD is a different case. This is a series PHEV. Basically a Nissan Kicks but with a bigger battery and a plug to physically charge the batteries sa outlet. In both cases however, (to put it simply) no engine only a genset to charge the battery (therefore in BYD’s case you can charge the batteries via a plug or the genset). For both cases the battery needs to be in full working condition, otherwise the car wont move. Parallel - engine and electric motors power the wheels Series - only the electric motors power the wheels

[@KaisiirFlynn]

Since your question has been answered already by the first commenter. Byd is the first one who made a Phev vehicle, and thic vehicle made BYD a top brand/best selling model in China sold averaging 60k units this year and been leading in sales since it was launched 4 years ago.

[@CrossCuntyRic]

@@KaisiirFlynn BYD was NOT the FIRST. The honor goes to the Renault Elect’road introduced in 2003. This however was a modification of the Renault Kangoo. What BYD did first, however, was to build the world’s first dedicated PHEV platform. Yes they’re also the world’s largest producer of EVs BUT Toyota produces the most hybrids globally.

i think it has a separate cable for the 220v V2L outlet. i saw one from an australian reviewer

[@SharapovaFan]

Best coverage by Autodeal as expected. However, we still don't know the battery chemistry on this thing. Is the battery an LFP (lithium ferrous phosphate)? I'm hoping it is, since LFP batteries can easily last over 6000 charge cycles at 80% DOD (depth of discharge). Assuming you do 1 full charge cycle per day (bale long distance, sagad mileage every day), it'll take you over 16 years for the battery to be replaced (6000/365=16.4). Competitors in the same price range like the MG EV4 only have a li-ion battery, which is a turn off for me.

[@PsychedMedia]

Its using blade lfp

[@KaisiirFlynn]

It is using BYD Blade LFP. The best 🎉 nothing to worry in charging cycle ans safety.

[@SharapovaFan]

@@PsychedMedia Good to know. It's so annoying that auto journalists in the PH never talk about the battery chemistry of the models released here. That should not be overlooked. In addition to a much longer service life, LFP batteries are also far safer. You can puncture them and subject them to higher heat than li-ion and it still won't catch fire.

Nissan uses ternary lithium. BYD uses their own LFP Blade battery which has a much higher cycle life compared to a ternary lithium

You can’t compare Japanse battery tech to Chinese, BYD is one of the leaders in battery tech.

I dont get how they r able to sell a phev at such a low price point? Heck, even a chinese ice vehicle r already at that price point. This phev package for that price is unbelievable

[@CrossCuntyRic]

Overstock, alongside slower EV demand in China. Too much produced but not much market yet. That’s why they’re marketing this to Europe but yes Chinese automakers face tariffs. Once the market starts moving expect prices to increase. Just like Geely.

They make everything from the ground up. Easy as that. They dont need to source parts from other manuf.

The controversy on that car is crazy! 😂 still a great car, it's just that they have crap service. And knowing this car having engine hybrid and electric, that's alot of maintenance.

[@peterbailon7773]

I appreciate the value for money of these Chinese EV's. Heck, I am an investor in one of these companies. Once I finish my current car payment, I might even consider getting one. ALTHOUGH I am a bit worried for our country. There's a reason why CCP subsidizes these cars, and why they are pushing the influx of these EV's here. Some mentioned they are just disposing old inventory. BUT think more LONG TERM: PH has lack of charging infrastructures (currently only from private institutions like SMDC, Ayala, SMC, etc.) I'm sure CCP is stoking the demand, so that when market demand for EV's and PHEVs becomes big enough, CCP WILL OFFER AN INFRASTRUCTURE DEAL to PH Government, which CCP will gain exorbitant amounts of money from, + a form of control over the country's mobility infrastructure, + a bargaining chip to soften PH stance in the West Philippine Sea tensions. I could be wrong, but this is how CCP operates.

[@zodiacfml]

CCP subsidies is Western propaganda because old car brands are way behind in EVs. Governments can subsidize products services which they believe is good for the country (ignoring politics/industry lobbying bribes)

[@onepab01]

Taiwan which has a long-standing political and territorial dispute with China has trade agreements with them. The Australian government has political issues with China but Chinese cars are ubiquitous on Australian roads. The point is, screw your political issues! They are secondary when it comes to business and economics.🙂

If you can charge it at home, how would it affect the electricity bill? Can someone please explain. Or maybe on a comparison with a home appliance, what would it be? A freezer? 2hp ac? 😅✌

[@zodiacfml]

price of electricity to run car is much cheaper than the price of gas for the same range/distance

[@robertdatario85]

To charge an 18kWh battery, and your electricity cost is about P10 per kWh, it will cost you P180 from zero to full charge. And that will get you to travel up to 100km on a single charge. That is impressive to me.
