BYD’s Dolphin brings Blade battery tech and generous equipment to the mainstream hatch fight — less badge prestige than a VW, often more kit for the money. UK dealer network and resale are the long-term unknowns; overnight charging economics are the near-term win. We list it from £30,195 (~265 miles in our catalog). Off-peak home charging lands around 1.8p per mile in our sums — run your reg through the calculator to see if that beats what you drive today.
Indicative price from £30,195. Catalog range ~265 miles. Off-peak home charging from about 1.8p per mile in our model.
We use £30,195 as a new starting point in the catalog — what you will actually pay depends on mileage, spec, and whether you buy from a dealer, a broker, or a tired private seller on a rainy Tuesday. Partner links show live stock; our number is for comparison.
We model ~265 miles for side-by-side running costs. Your real figure will be lower at 70 mph, lower still in winter, and higher if you mostly potter around town. Treat it as a benchmark, not a guarantee.
