Owner's BYD Dolphin Checked Out On Genting / We Used 32% Battery / YS Khong Driving

We got a chance to check out the newly launched BYD Dolphin on our favourite mountain, thanks to our strong supporter, Derek.
This is the higher spec variant with the extended battery, and we used up 32 percent of the battery for the climb.
As with all electric cars, the acceleration is great, and after a bit of getting to know the car better, it handled the corners quite well.

[@JohnsonLuvie123]

I love the Dolphin..Honestly drives really well..

[@isyrzy]

I can see uncle very enjoy driving uphill but the guy im sure keep praying silently 😂

[@user-bg6gr6yn1m]

I just love these videos keep em coming uncle

[@MeteorX11]

Thanks Derek! you have made a big contribution to the people of Malaysia by lending yor car to our legend

[@theevpassion9538]

Whats a great drive YS😊. Lets me share this video to my China and HK fans

[@YSKhongDriving]

Please do!

[@honestjohn6222]

Love the way khong drives

[@pingshien91]

That guy looks very uncomfortable. 😂

Nice road to Genting and what a nice car 😍

[@remylonewolf]

The sound of tyre is quite obvious. Quite scary. But it's the champion driving it. No worry.🙂

[@skleo7765]

Good drive uncle YS! Totally different feel when you drive an EV as compared to ICE up the mountain. EVs are really good in spirited drive. However, I still miss the engine revs as well as the gear changes. Old school...

[@YSKhongDriving]

Me too!

The driver having too much fun. 👏👏👏

[@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834]

wow, spirited driving!

[@jt8433]

it must be really exciting in the car, he practically test the car as though he is on a track.

[@ckhome8907]

It comes with dingdong tyres...what an assurance 😀

[@xxxxghostxxxx2052]

Gonna use Yokohama or Michelin

[@NavarroOne]

Great car. Yes get some Michelin Primacy rubber on it for safety - and remove the below 30 km/h sound and the plastic on the horn button, then you’ll be really set up

[@EddieTeo]

Given the traffic condition, this is considered very mild driving by uncle YS's standard. Yet, the uphill drive of about 20 km already used up 32% of the juice, which came up to >1% for every km traveled. In other words, with this kind of climb, the range of the car would fall far short of 100 km. There could be several factors contributing to this power-hungry behavior: the efficiency of the motors (drawing a lot of juice when they are working hard), the power management system (the software could not manage power well when the car was not being driven "normally"), the nature of lithium-ion battery (losing charge very fast when temperature of the battery gets excessively hot), weight of the 60 kwh battery itself (about 350 kg which is equivalent to weight of five adults). It would be interesting to see a comparison of different EVs and see how they stack up.

[@YSKhongDriving]

If you drive slower, it might use less.

[@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834]

true, like a ICE car that sort of Driving is going to hammer the consumption

[@decimal1815]

How many clicks on the screen does it take to switch off the lane assist? Basic functions like that should be on a dedicated panel switch IMO..

[@user-rg1cz6gz8o]

THE SALES FIGURE OF BYD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF !!! VEHICLE OWNER ARE SMART ENOUGH TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE

[@djlau10]

[@john_barnett]

Not bad, 140k ringgit equivalent in Australia to drive away

[@kennedypoi503]

Hope my customer Miss Low, watches your BYD drive I told her about your videos 7 hours ago and talked about BYD.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thanks for your support, Kennedy.

[@kingleoric6787]

nice skill

[@knfk]

Nice drive. Interesting that people actually lend their 1 week old vehicle to some hard driving person to drive up Genting. Because for new cars, we will usually very sayang the engine and avoid full throttles.

[@YSKhongDriving]

That is because people actually would like me to drive their cars. The Tesla3 was only a week old too. I am very thankful for that.

[@kev2345]

Its a electric car. There is no engine!

[@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834]

​@@kev2345absolutely right on.

[@coffeebean3642]

I know that a lot of EV uses regenerative braking where it coverts it into electrical power to charge the battery so I was curious to see if the battery level went up at the bottom of the hill or what the battery level was

[@YSKhongDriving]

At the bottom, you usually gain 1 percent or 2.

[@mezerwi]

Aduh sy penat tahan napas tgk uncle drive. fuhhh fuhhh.

[@harvard_lee]

YS brought out the best of the car.

[@Thor88888]

Hi YS, i see you are as always enjoying your drive. Our previous treasure hunting days - hope you are still participating? David

[@YSKhongDriving]

I do the Hospis Malaysia Hunt annually. No time for hunting nowadays.

[@laiklim]

I booked this car last month.. still waiting now. Luckily you didn’t say anything bad about, or else I might cancel it 😂 😊

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha. Remember it is a hatch!

[@penggoh9737]

Can you please suggest a more suited tyres to replace factory linglong, appreciate if you can share make and model of tyre ( of course for a hatchback haha) thanks

[@YSKhongDriving]

In Malaysia, tyre quality is usually measured by its price. So buy the most expensive tyres you can afford.

[@djarumz]

How is it compared to Tesla Y you took uphill last time, and which you prefer?

[@YSKhongDriving]

We took the Tesla3. Totally different vehicles, cannot be compared.

[@PsychedMedia]

The steering has comfort/sport mode in screen settings that is separate from the physical toggle switch (that only adjusts the throttle response) Also the car was on high regen mode, based on my experience if put it in standard regen mode the acceleration feels even better

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes, we put it to sport.

[@calvinandakjozef]

Dolphin live up to its name. Screaming tyres all the way up 😂

[@fredakml2459]

drving ev climbing genting seems fun cause it got very high torque

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes, agreed.

[@user-xe8zm6ih4u]

Hello uncle YS. Any tips on how I can mantain my brake temperature while cornering downhill without it overheating?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Use less. Brake hard when needed, and do not ride the brake pedal. Driving slow in low gear like 2nd gear helps.

[@kokoopo]

Let the car roll without brake or throttle.. =) brake only near bump

[@saehian]

Ya, play with low gears when going down hill.

[@nicholaslau7065]

Like this car, wonder is it worth for the price?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Of course it is.

[@sharulbahari3250]

Good Afternoon Uncle.Byd dolphin no autopilot driver?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Don't think this one has it.

[@huplim]

Used 32% climbing up, but regen 35% on the way down 😂

[@robertyaaa]

This car would be great if only a single driver going up Genting !

[@ltjkelvin8919]

is that a plastic film on the horn or is that the norm?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Not sure. It is a new car, barely a week old

[@3ujin]

no hold omg handle in the earlier parts~ after that then only hold the omg handle xD

[@phandes]

i noticed the Genting road condition is so so bad, so many patches on it.

[@leeboonleong7912]

MY NEXT CAR EV. NO MORE CVT.

[@allsaddam]

Eh eh hi Iqbal. Another fast forward video but normal speed audio. 😂

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha, true.

[@shumyinghon]

32% battery used to ferry 2 passengers - would power consumption increase with more passengers?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Its based on how much you use. Dont forget even ice engines cobsume more when you push them .

[@saehian]

Lol. He paddle on the floor.

[@akhairi81]

Don forget to test mg4 ev uncle..

[@shaf3006]

The steering vibrate because the protective plastic sticker still there 😅 The owner enjoy the ride 😂

[@qilu2004]

it is funny how he floored tbe gas while saying "let's be careful with ..." or "the road is still damp" several times.

[@YSKhongDriving]

You can floor it if the road is clear.

[@TheRovers9]

How’s the wind noise?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Not noticeable.

[@gabrielstephen737]

Uncle, I wonder if EV car could create scoop for small turbine to generate electricity while driving to charge the battery. I wonder how much turbine could charge the battery.

[@YSKhongDriving]

I hv no idea what you mean.

[@henrywoo2247]

That face very gan cheong spider😂

[@ycteoh]

The guy keeps on reiterating “it’s a hatchback” 😅

[@YSKhongDriving]

So it's a hatchback, hahaha

[@Ken6013]

It’s a pity that the actual speed cannot be seen from the speedometer, but the expression on the passenger’s face says it all....haha

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yeah, something wrong with the readout. It gets misty.

[@fktaufik9252]

uncle, i really hoped for you to enclosed along the max charging power generated when the car is braking. for example, f30 330e max regen at 30+- KW. so no matter how hard you try to regen, the battery only will be charged at that rate when braking. just enough to power on system electronic when stationary at traffic. eco pro regen - starting from single digit KW, comfort regen - starting from single digit and can go further to max if depress the brake harder. sport mode regen - always maxxed out at 30KW whenever possible even without pressing the brake. and last but not least, lets do a challenge. 5 percent battery going up ramp/slope. which EV will succed, and which ev dont. must be very interesting to see how pathetic those people that overbragging how powerful their EV is than a certain supercars. just for fun tho :D

[@YSKhongDriving]

Sorry, we cannot do this type of test, purely because we do not have the equipment to do the testing. And nobody really cares to analyse it to bits, and it certainly wont be a deal breaker at all.
