BYD's Dolphin 07 EV Sets the Stage for Winter Driving this Winter

A recent test by Auto Home, a major automotive publication in China, has put the BYD Dolphin 07 EV to the test in harsh winter conditions. Designed specifically for low-temperature and freezing weather, we examine how the car stacks up against one of the toughest tests ever held, ensuring you get the truth behind this new model.

We take a closer look at some of its features as we dive into three main testing areas: Core Tests and two comprehensive evaluations - to address battery range, power consumption, and charging times.

This test covers the BYD Dolphin 07 EV’s capabilities in low temperature zones, including cold climate driving scenarios where speed, comfort, range, and reliability are put to the test. Our results will help you decide whether this model is worth its salt when it comes to getting through winter safely.

The tested version of the BYD Dolphin 07 features an 80.64kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack paired with a single rear electric motor. Its maximum certified operating range within the CLTC tests is up to 610km on a full charge.

Test Results in Low Temperatures

In harsh Low Temperature Zones, the BYD Dolphin 07 EV covers a distance of 314.3kms, showing off its reliability in cold conditions with an overall mileage efficiency percentage of 51.5%.

A further test - charging the vehicle using exterior outlets - shows that full charging takes approximately 154 minutes to reach 0-100%, while charging from 30% reaches top speed in just under 49minutes.

The car also had an impressive range of 29.06kWh/100km, calculated by considering the total consumption and battery capacity tested during this scenario, confirming a high level of energy efficiency.

During the Low Temperature Zone Test itself**, temperatures remained relatively constant inside the vehicle - maintained at 21℃ without fluctuations** making this a reliable long-distance model in such testing conditions. The only notable occurrence was inside temperature instability during an intensive cooling test.

Results in High Temperatures

A separate Climate Tests, the car exhibited stability within its electrical system by remaining effectively cool even when placed under extremely high temperatures - climbing steadily to 27.5℃ within 20 minutes while reaching a peak temperature difference of 40.4℃.

After testing, we took this remarkable vehicle on an extensive range, reaching incredible test times with a steady output between just 55 Minutes - charging from zero percent for the 0-100%, followed closely by 24 minutes until 70% charge capacity.

We also observed that it sustained high performance with relatively stable efficiency across a continuous consumption calculation of about 16.37kWh/100km, signifying low fuel consumption throughout its full range.

Lastly, its indoor cabin did show some comfort maintaining temperatures of around 23-25 degrees Celsius, making this electric vehicle extremely reliable in terms of temperature stability while traveling long distances during cold weather conditions.

The Verdict

In conclusion, the BYD Dolphin 07 EV successfully passed various winter tests including climate testing, resulting in great performance in winter driving under a myriad of scenarios.

Through its remarkable range, efficiency levels and comfort features, this model has earned three badges from the same automotive publication: 3 Badges for 3 Areas:

• Range
• Reliability
• Comfort

By the end of the test, it's been clear why the Dolphin 07 EV took home top accolades with its overall performance in winter driving and reliability.
