BYD Dolphin is the hatch that can start your e-mobility journey

MANILA: One of the models in BYD’s electric vehicle (EV) lineup is the Dolphin, a five-door electric hatchback with a range of 300 km on a single charge.

The Dolphin is powered by an AC permanent magnet synchronous motor paired to a BYD Blade Battery LFP. The motor generates 70kW and 180Nm of torque. Meanwhile, the battery has a capacity of 44.9kWh and it can be charged from 30% to 80% in just 30 minutes through DC fast charging.

Aside from being fuel-efficient, the Dolphin is also packed with advanced safety features. These include electronic stability program (ESP), electric parking brake (EPB), traction control system (TCS), controlled deceleration for parking brake (CDP), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), hill-start hold control (HHC), and a rearview camera.

BYD, which stands for "Build Your Dreams," has been the most active of all the carmakers that use grid electricity to charge their vehicles. They have been at the forefront of China's "EV-olution" and are making an impact around the world. They have also been developing vehicles with EV maximum speeds of over 100kph, allowing this new energy vehicle to be highway capable.

Pricing for the BYD Dolphin starts at P1.598 million.
