BYD Dolphin integrates blade batteries into the body structure, and the small body contains a large space

BYD is one of the few traditional car-making brands in China that can occupy the core competitiveness in the field of new energy, because new energy means that it is inseparable from scientific and technological intelligence, so most of the independent car brands that impact the new energy market are mostly from new car-making forces, and BYD has a sufficient technical background in the new energy vehicle market because it has mastered the core lifeblood of batteries.
It is precisely because BYD's blade battery is far superior to other batteries in circulation in the safety system, so its new energy models often have higher safety. In BYD's model layout, Dolphin is a pure electric vehicle model, which was born on BYD's e platform 3.0, and its architecture is also based on pure electric platform.
Dolphin is positioned in the field of small cars, but its wheelbase has 2700mm, from the wheelbase size, the model has reached the compact positioning specifications, but in terms of length and size, it is 4070mm, so the body is still a small type. Judging from its appearance and structure, it clearly meets the characteristics of a pure electric platform.
The distance between the front and rear wheels and the front and rear bumpers will be closer, which can improve the approach and departure angles of the vehicle and avoid bumping the chassis when going uphill and downhill. The battery carried by by THE BYD Dolphin is a blade battery, and this set of blade batteries is also part of the body structure and can be used as an energy transmission path.
In the event of a vehicle collision, the battery pack with honeycomb aluminum structure can remove part of the force in the collision, which is also a feature of BYD Dolphin. Because so far, only BYD's blade batteries can not be afraid of extreme tests such as collisions, so they can be used as energy transfer paths on a safe enough basis.
Although the body of the dolphin looks small, but the space in the car is sufficient, this powertrain adopts an eight-in-one design, which is smaller and lighter, so it will not occupy too much space in the model, and can reduce the additional consumption of energy, retaining more space capacity for the car, and then the back space of the dolphin is very generous, with a distance of more than three fists.
The trunk space of the model is not very large, but it can meet the daily conditions of use and can accommodate at least two suitcases. Although the trunk space is not spacious, the rear seat backrest can be reclined. If you are traveling with only two people and carrying more luggage, you can put the back of the back seat down and then put the luggage you want to carry.
The BYD Dolphin currently has two types of power, namely 95 hp and 180 Nm, as well as 177 hp and 290 Nm. Although the power does not look big, the size of the model itself is small and the weight is light, so such a power-driven model is enough.
And the motor drive is different from the traditional engine, the power response of the motor will be very sharp, and the transmission mechanism is more direct, avoiding the power loss between mechanical power transmission, so it can quickly provide excellent power response for the model. Even in the later stages, there is no need to worry about the vehicle's ability to re-accelerate.
In addition to the power performance, dolphins also offer three endurance options, the entry-level vitality version of the NEDC has a range of 301 kilometers, the free and fashion version of the NEDC has a range of 405 kilometers, and the top knight version of the NEDC has a range of 401 kilometers. The model also offers a fast charge mode, which takes only 0.5 hours.
summary:
Dolphin currently sells only four configuration types to choose from, the official guidance price is in the range of 93,800-121,800, and pure electric models can be exempted from taxes when purchasing, so the gap between the landing price and the naked car price is not large. Dolphin has had good sales since it was launched, and in addition to young people commuting to work, there are many older groups that choose to use it as a means of transportation for family travel. Pure electric travel mode is not only environmentally friendly, but also increases the user's travel economy.
