Offshore wind is projected to fall short of the Biden administration’s 2030 goals, Reuters reports. New rapid attribution studies found that global warming made Beryl’s wind and rain between 10 and 30 percent more intense, Inside Climate News reports.

People who are talking about fast charging definitely are no workers - because the usual worker drives to work 20 to 30 km - then spends 7 to 8 hours actually working and then usually drives straight home. So why would someone who has 7 to 8 hours time to recharge the equivalent of 20 to 30 km fast-charging? How long does it take to recharge the equivalent of 20 to 30 km? With the Dolphin you could forget to recharge 5 days in a row @work and @home and you'd still be on the safe side...could even take a detour without recharging...and you'd still be safe. What is going on with peoples' brains?
I have the premium version. I get about 3% charge per hour (12km ish I haven't worked it out exactly) granny charging. So, yes, four hours granny charge achieving about 50km range.

@@christopherj2231 no point , these are the number of times iv seen them in the wild , iv also seen two mg4 s for sale at the local car yard, and the new Toyota bz whatever, and the Ora
I've seen a handful of Ora Cats, a whole bunch of MG4s (the mg3 is a supermini petrol car), a stack of Atto 3s and so many Tesla model 3s and Ys that they often go past seemingly in convoy ;) Don't think I've seen more than 1 or 2 Dolphins so far though
I reckon GWM stuffed up the loook of Ora. It styled like a niche car.... No mass market appeal. Same with the Dolphin. BYD should restyle it and make it look more like a bigger BYD Seagull. You know the baby Lambo look.
Lmao okay. Why? You going to drive 500 mi straight? That's over 6 hours at highway speeds. Most people drive a max of 2 to 3 hours before needing a break. And this is around 200 mi. Perfect for today's batteries and charging infrastructure.
For me as a city dweller I don’t need more than 200-250 miles per charge. But I have family members who won’t touch anything lower than 400 miles due to how much long distances they drive regularly.
This could be the next Toyota Corolla, if they can bring the international price down. Mass uptake of EVs will ONLY happen when the sticker price goes below equivalent ICE.
Sam, love your recent greater content on Chinese EV’s… increasingly great cars, no doubt about it, and your coverage keeps us all from burying our heads in the sand and not facing our reality in the US and other OEM 😢😮countries… hopefully we’ll get with it, innovate and compete better (like Tesla) and drop, in time, tariffs as our only defense. An offense is always better!
05:17 - this actually reduces people causing so many accidents...especially the majority of women who like to confuse the speed with the break pedal...😉
Thanks for all of that, but may I have an Australian price (not in Renmimbi) of the cheapest Dolphin, battery size and range? I believe you said 41kWh and 370km. The 2024 MG4 51kWh costs $40,000 - $3,500 WA discount also with a 370km range. I charged my MG to 100% and the range went up to 403km.
good to hear but the prices are quite off.... here (austria and germany) the dolphin in the cheapest variant costs around 25k€ (already with the deducted ev financial support from the state)
A 100% America tariff would bring it to $26k. Shipping and safety/emissions would bring it up to at least $36,000? A few more dollars and you can have a genuine and reliable Tesla. It’s awash!
These cars get 5 star safety rating from EU which has at least as stringent safety ratings as US so it should be minimal cost to have them pass US safety tests. These are EVs, so will automatically pass emissions tests. It's the 100% tariffs plus the risk that the US will just confiscate any US built factories in case the US butts heads with China on foreign policy that will prevent BYD from directly exporting to US or building factories here.
Those of us who are buying Chinese EVs will find the costs decreasing due to cheaper batteries and that might be upsetting, like finding the Toyota hydrogen car selling for $10,000, an 80% price drop!
A lot of Dolphin sales in China probably got cannibalized by BYD's other cars, like Yuan UP which is SUV but similar size and price, and Qin Plus and Qin L that are PHEV sedans that are bigger and cheaper or similar in price
Thanks for this information Sam. I was expecting an upgrade because it was recently announced that the Atto 3 will be upgraded. This is great news as I am considering buying one. The increase in range is really good. Hopefully there will be a better range of colours.
I really like the Byd 🐬 Dolphin and I'd like to own one, But The only reason I would not own is because it's front wheel drive, The good electric cars to me should never be front wheel drive they simply got too much torque, Drive in wet conditions and you're spinning wheels all the time , I love the Aura good cat too , that same problem, at the moment the only one I would consider for that size and price point is the mg4
Is it just the colour or did it get a facelift? It looks better. The reason for the dolphin not selling is simply because of how it looks and the fact it's not an SUV or sedan.
The exact reason not to get an EV for 5-10 years. The battery tech is evolving and prices reducing. Resale is non existant. I’ll just sit with my beautifully reliable Toyota hybrid while all the bugs get sorted out
Resale is non existant? Where do you live it is not in Australia... the market for non Nissan Leafs is massive - in other words as soon as the BYDs/MGs hit the second hand market in 2-4 years they will sell quickly. Right now it is mostly Tesla (over-priced) and Nissan (no one really trusts Japan EVs these days).
Ya think, in 2-4 years the battery life and range will have gone up and costs down. I’d compare it with computer advancements in the 90s. EVs are essentially a computer on wheels. Tellingly REV point to software problems as MGs major flaw. That is the computer is buggy. This is why IMHO the resale value will be terrible
Does the Dolphin still have the annoying low speed ambient noise and constant aural speed warnings? They're the only things that bothers me about BYDs.
Because Tesla is from America… Simple as that… The general public still perceive car sold from overseas brand has superior quality(more classy) than local brand.
@@jinghuzhang9368 So when Tesla's cost more why buy them vs BYD? I am just curious. I am looking at a review of a Atto3 and can see why a model3 is chosen over the atto3. The charging speed is low, the B Pillar for Americans is too far forward and the seat angle in the back is not comfortable. What EV BYD makes competes with the Model3 or Y
Unfortunately, the BYD Dolphin's front end doesn't look as good as other models because it is too simple and basic looking, thus lacking sportiness-looking. It needs some oomph-injected looking into it to make it look sportier.
As noted on this channel, BYD has a much higher warranty claims than Tesla. Recently a BYD was returned on test because the infotainment system was not working. The software was all screwed up.
Even if it could FLY and would cost 10$: WE STILL CAN'T CHARGE IT!!!! This stupid charging-port position on the FRONT RIGHT is UNREACHABLE in narrow garages!
if i'm getting a chinese EV, i'll never buy but lease it for max 3 years then change over to a new one..... as this kind of quick updates will damage 2nd hand prices....
For them, electric car is more like a mobile phone compared to traditional ICE… They have reached a price point where depreciation doesn’t really matter… Think about that, they are selling the brand new model for 13k, after 3 years. Let’s say it has been depreciated for 50%, but you can still get 6.5k back and put it into deposit for the next new car… or you might as well get one of those depreciated electric cars in really good conditions…
Byd really brings the EVs in the variety people buy
Packed with spyware devices .
BYD that's an incredible company to do something no other company would!
Out of all expectations
Here in the states we can't buy the BYD cars thing is America is protecting car makers but not us the car buyers, I'm retired if I could by a 2025 for 13k or so I would ..
BYD likes to make a good profit in foreign markets so would be perhaps $25,000...but yes your government then smashes them with a large tariff.
Cos Chinese EV treat to National security......

The brains are intact, just not thinking. Most just have no idea what is fud.
Lots of people don’t have home chargers - double the speed = fewer fast chargers needed - and much more convenient
