Plug-In Hybrid cars are a great choice if you are looking for a vehicle that offers generous range and you take long journeys. BYD offer a comprehensive selection of Plug-In Hybrid vehicles that offer impressive range including:

• BYD SEAL U DM-i offers 699 miles combined range
• BYD SEAL 6 DM-i offers 935 miles combined range

There are several new EVs scheduled to come out in 2026. Some exciting models have already been launched including:

• PEUGEOT e208 GTI
• OMODA 7
• BYD SEALION 5 DM-i

Hybrid cars are built to last, often exceeding the life of conventional cars because the electric motor reduces wear on the gasoline engine, with batteries typically lasting 8-15 years (100,000-200,000+ miles) before needing replacement.

Factors like driving style and maintenance significantly impact this. Proper servicing and gentle driving habits (less hard braking/acceleration) extend component life.

Electric car charging times range from 30 minutes to over 12 hours, depending on the battery size and charger type. A typical 60kWh EV charges in about 8 hours at home (7kW), while rapid chargers (50kW-150kW) can provide a 100-mile boost in roughly 15-35 minutes.

Yes, Electric Vehicles are generally good to drive in all weather conditions, including rain, snow, and extreme cold.

While cold weather can reduce range and charging efficiency, modern EVs are well-equipped to handle harsh conditions, often featuring superior traction control and, in many cases, superior stability due to a lower center of gravity from the battery pack. Some recommendations to improve driving an EV is challenging weathers include:

• Investing in Winter Tyres
• Preconditions Your Car
• Monitoring Tyre Pressure
• Plan Charging Times

Yes, electric vehicles (EVs) require regular servicing, but generally less frequently and with lower long-term maintenance costs than traditional petrol or diesel cars.

While EVs lack engine oil and complex exhaust systems, they still need annual inspections for safety-critical components like brakes, suspension, steering, tires, and battery health checks.

BYD recommends servicing your vehicle every 12 months or 12,500 miles, whichever comes first. This applies across the entire BYD range including the Atto 3, Seal, and Dolphin models. Regular servicing at these intervals is essential to keep your vehicle in optimal condition.
