Is the BYD eMAX 7 a game changer for the Indian MPV market?
02 January 2025 06:29
It's too early to call it a game changer, I think. On paper, the eMAX 7 looks promising, but BYD is still an unknown entity in India. Before they can make a real dent in the market, they will need to prove their after sales support and long term reliability.

I’m an EV enthusiast and I’m excited about the eMAX 7. Electric vehicles can work in all segments, it's showing. But I am concerned about charging infrastructure for long trips, which is important for MPV users.

But let's be real, the eMAX 7 is less of a practical family car and more of a tech showcase right now. It’s cool, but it’s not going to revolutionize the MPV market until it’s as cheap as an MPV and as easy to charge as refueling.
Will the BYD eMAX 7's battery warranty fend off range anxiety for potential buyers?
02 January 2025 06:29
What a huge plus for the battery warranty! It proves that BYD is confident in their tech, and I would be much more likely to go electric knowing you are covered for 8 years or 500,000 km.
Will the BYD eMAX 7's battery warranty fend off range anxiety for potential buyers?

Range anxiety isn't just about the battery, and warranty or not. And it’s also about the charging infrastructure. People will still worry until we have reliable fast charging stations every 100 km on highways.

I think it does help, but it's not a total answer. The warranty is great for peace of mind, but it doesn't help you when you are out in the middle of nowhere and your battery is low and you can't find a charger.

I can talk from experience as a person who has driven EVs, range anxiety fades. The warranty is nice, but it’s the range and how the car actually performs in real world conditions that really counts.

That’s a step in the right direction, but what I’m really curious about is how the battery will fare after a few years. If it is used 3-4 years, will it still come close to the advertised range? That's the real test.
Does the BYD Dolphin have the performance to excite enthusiastic drivers?

The Dolphin is more than adequate for an affordable EV. It feels zippy around town because of the instant torque.

If you’re coming from a hot hatch or a sports car, you might be disappointed. It’s plenty quick for most daily driving.

The Dolphin's performance is surprisingly fun to me. Smooth, quiet acceleration is addictive, but it's no Tesla.

There is little engine noise to get used to, but the responsive throttle more than makes up for it. It's a different kind of fun.

If I were an enthusiastic driver, I'd look elsewhere. The Dolphin is not about performance, it’s about efficiency.

In fact, I like the Dolphin’s power delivery better than my old gas car. It’s more predictable and easier to modulate in traffic.

It performs fine, but it handles a bit better. Some rivals feel a bit numb in the corners.

Having been a petrolhead myself, I was skeptical, but the Dolphin changed my mind. Instant, silent acceleration is a satisfying thing.

It’s quick enough to be fun, but not so powerful that you feel the urge to speed all the time. It’s a good balance for daily use.
Is the BYD Dolphin's wind noise at high speeds a no-go?
02 January 2025 06:25
It’s not a deal breaker for me. Seriously, how many times do you actually go 110+ km/h? In all likelihood, it's not even noticeable for daily commutes and city driving.
Is the BYD Dolphin's wind noise at high speeds a no-go?
02 January 2025 06:25
I drove one and the wind noise was pretty bad. It wasn’t just about the high speeds, it made the whole car feel less premium. Instead I went for an MG4.

I do a lot of highway driving, and it would bother me. I've heard that some weather stripping and door seals will fix it. If you like everything else about the car it might be worth the DIY effort.
