Charging this vehicle
What would this cost you each year?
Compare it with what you run now. We assume 5 days a week and 50 weeks a year.
Servicing and insurance are indicative figures for this type of vehicle, not quotes. Depreciation includes $2,500 for a home charger and install, more if your switchboard needs an upgrade. Tax and finance interest aren’t included. Change more assumptions, or check your site and power bill.

Common questions
How far can the BYD Dolphin go?
Up to 427 km advertised (WLTP) on the Premium. Speed, hills and weather will reduce it.
Terms explained
WLTP
The standard lab test behind most advertised range figures. Expect less at highway speeds.
Wh/km
How much energy the car uses per km. Lower is cheaper to run. The Australian Green Vehicle Guide publishes this figure.
AC and DC
AC is slower and suits charging at home overnight. DC is fast charging, usually at public sites.
On-road costs
Rego, stamp duty and dealer delivery. A before on-road price will rise once these are added.
