BYD destroyed the hybrid competition with Seal 07 DM-i!

I like BYD PHEV

[@dennisd9804]

This Seal 07 DM-i is quite incredible; I am not surprised to see that this PHEV system is so popular. BYD's sales last month proved the popularity of these vehicles. I can't believe that BYD is at a run rate of >5 million vehicles per year. Great review, Harris!

[@hauntedjewelry1364]

Good review. Please do more of such review.

My BMW 520i also has 70L tank, can only last 800KM range.

[@madev_channel]

but you have more power and better dynamics

[@hermesliteratus882]

[@Ewoodster]

If max range is your main concern, then you got the wrong engine. Get a 520d instead and you have real world range of more than 1000 km.

That is about the only argument left to buy a Toyota, hoping for better resale value. As for me, I keep the money saved up front in my pocket and continue to save at the pump while Toyota drivers drive obsolete cars which cost more to buy and drive.

[@GOLFandWRX]

So the engine does not charge the battery, it is plug in charge only?

[@2012mpe]

The engine charges the battery , and you can charge with AC/DC

[@leobreevoort9151]

DM-i is a power-split system so it can run in many modes: EV-only, ICE-only, parallel hybrid, serial hybrid. -EV-only. When the battery is charged, there's no need for the ICE, so all energy is drawn from the battery and the e-motor drives the wheels. -Parallel hybrid: Both ICE and e-motor drive the wheels simultaneously. Usually to provide maximum power. I think BYD avoids using this mode, because it's not very efficient. -Serial hybrid: The ICE is on, but not driving the wheels. Instead it's driving a generator that produces electricity. This electricity is send to the e-motor directly, first charging the battery would incur conversion losses. This mode is interesting because of the wildly inefficient nature of ICE. An ICE with 40% thermal efficiency in optimal conditions can drop as low as 10% efficiency in city driving. "Optimal conditions" is usually a very narrow working window. When driving both the load on the car (rolling and wind resistance, inclinations, speed changes) and the driver input (requested power/throttle position) constantly change. In serial mode, the ICE picks an efficient working point and stays there, despite the changes in load and driver input. So it produces roughly the amount of electricity needed for the e-motor, but not exactly. If there's excess electricity, it will charge the battery. If there's too little, power will be drawn from the battery. If the latter situation lasts too long, the ICE will choose a different working point to provide more power. This way the ICE always runs close to its theoretical maximum thermal efficiency. -ICE-only. In some driving conditions, the load and driver input correspond very closely to the optimal ICE working point. In that case (usually constant speed cruising at moderate pace), the conversion losses of generating electricity are greater than running the ICE just around its optimal window. Then the ICE can power the wheels directly without the e-motor active. I don't know if BYD has a setting that forces the ICE to run constantly and charge the battery. I don't see the benefit, because it's quite an expensive way to charge. Especially in China, where electricity from a socket is less than $0.10/kWh. Of course the car will regen when slowing down.

Ac on and cold weather it will go down to 25 mpg 😂😂😂😂

[@madev_channel]

Actually no, a cold environment (it also depends on what you mean by cold, a -100℃ is cold, -10℃ is also cold) would make the engine more efficient for 2 reasons: 1, higher air density: means more oxygen in the cylinder, so you can have better combustion. 2, lower thermal stress: it’s relatively easy to keep the heat in the engine, by bypassing the radiator, and bring the engine up to the best working temperature. In a hot day, the engine may be slightly above the optimal temp, and you can’t make the cooling system work harder, so you get less efficient combustion.

[@miraphycs7377]

eh? Bro forgot Honda Accord PHEV. This vehicle achieves total driving range of 2100km (specifically 2132.7). EV range is rated at 106km CLTC. I am not sure how big of a fuel tank it is but assume it is smaller than the regular hybrid ones which have 12.8 gallons. Even so 2132.7km/1.6km/mi=1332.9375mi 1332.9375mi/12.8g=104.135742188 mpg This thing would actually be even more efficient than both the latest BYD 5.0 DM-i and Toyota Prime PHEV offering.

Nio will be eating Testla, Li Auto, BYD and all other non-swappable battery cars for lunch after this Thursday with Onvo.

Swappable batteries only makes sense with a common standard. Future batteries will charge as fast as a battery swap. I don’t think that swappable batteries will be the future.

[@nzeopara7725]

I don’t think it’s just about speed of charge, the problem a lot of second EVs have is battery degradation and the amount it will cost to change them, now imagine if I can just easily swap it
