The most eye-stealing highlight is the Flash Charging technology, which works in conjunction with the latest Blade Battery 2.0.

– Charging from 10% to 70% takes only 5 minutes.
– To charge to 97%, it only takes 9 minutes.
– Even in temperatures as low as -30°C, it can still be fast-charged in 12 minutes.

I'm probably going to end up getting the dolphin soon but it is hard for me to justify selling or taking off my 2017 petrol rav4. I know a few people that purchased BYDs and they're happy with them performance and cost wise. The government capped gas here for another 24 months so although higher than US prices, it won't get worse and I don't drive much. I have solar though and I'd love to use the excess that I currently "waste" to charge my car

I have a dolphin essential

The cheapest option

It's a brilliant little car! I have solar panels, so I charge it during the day basically for free most of the time
