The Power of Choice: EV vs. DM-i The "Dual Threat" of the BYD Dolphin lies in its ability to cater to two distinct types of drivers. On one hand, the pure electric (EV) version offers a 201hp motor and a 60.4kWh battery, providing a 265-mile WLTP range that is perfect for those ready to go fully green. On the other hand, the new Dolphin G DM-i enters the supermini class as a unique plug-in hybrid . This version uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine as a generator, offering an impressive electric-only range of up to 65 miles and a staggering total combined range of 646 miles , effectively eliminating range anxiety.

The Blade Battery is now covered for 8 years or 250,000 km (approx. 155,350 miles), a class-leading term that even applies retroactively to existing owners. With a battery designed to la…
