BYD has confirmed that the Dolphin all-electric compact hatchback is coming to Europe this year alongside the Seal mid-size sedan.<\/p>\n

After launching three fully electric vehicles in Europe \u2013 the Atto 3 compact SUV, Han large sedan, and Tang large SUV<\/a> \u2013 the Chinese automaker is enlarging its European lineup with two models that have huge sales potential.<\/p>\n

The BYD Dolphin and Seal are the first models in the automaker’s Ocean series to make it to Europe. Both are built on the BYD e-Platform 3.0, which also underpins the Atto 3 and uses the carmaker’s Blade batteries with LFP cell chemistry in an 800-volt configuration.<\/p>\n

In Europe, the BYD Dolphin<\/a> will be available with a 60-kilowatt-hour lithium iron phosphate (LFP) BYD Blade battery pack with Cell-to-Pack (CTP) technology.\u00a0The battery powers a front-mounted electric motor rated at 150 kilowatts (201 horsepower). This variant of the Dolphin will be good for 265 miles (427 kilometers) of WLTP combined range.<\/p>\n

BYD says European pre-sales of the Dolphin will start in June, with customer deliveries to follow from the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

The BYD Seal<\/a> will offer in Europe an 82-kWh Blade battery available with either rear- or all-wheel drive. The RWD model features a 230-kW (308-hp) electric motor and offers a WLTP combined range of 354 miles (570 km), while the AWD variant has 390 kW (523 hp) from two motors and covers up to 323 miles (520 km) on a single charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Charging from 30 to 80 percent is said to take 26 minutes for the Seal and 29 minutes for the Dolphin; the company quotes a maximum DC fast charging rate of 150 kW for both models. The Seal and Dolphin also offer AC charging with 11 kW and a vehicle-to-load (V2L) function<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The electric sedan features the evolved Cell-to-Body (CTP) technology where the battery is integrated within the body floor, creating a sandwich-like structure that incorporates the Blade battery and the tray.<\/p>\n

This allows for a lower vehicle height, increased body rigidity, and more cabin space due to reduced battery pack volume.\u00a0The BYD Seal will arrive in the brand’s European stores in September.<\/p>\n

The automaker has not announced pricing for the two models in Europe yet but mentioned a price range of $32,900-$41,600 (30,000-38,000 euros) for the Dolphin at an event, according to Electrive<\/em>.<\/p>\n

BYD<\/a> currently sells EVs in several European markets including Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, and Spain, with more to follow soon.<\/p>\n
