New BYD Seal gets major upgrades - but I'm surprised its missing this...

Current Seal architecture is notionally 800V but with a total battery voltage of around 600V. It's not 400V, as stated in this video.

The big improvement with 3.0 Evo is the new "12 in 1" SiC power module, operating at 99.86% efficiency. This is what lets them charge faster. High-output power electronics operating with almost no losses mean they can charge at the maximum rate available on virtually any charger, regardless of the charger voltage. 800v systems previously did not have an advantage when using 400v chargers, which are the norm in many places. As mentioned by other posters, Seal already had an 800v nominal system... this lets them take full advantage of it.

I have a RWD Seal here on the Uk, it has more than enough range. Charging speed is its "weak" point, but hasn't been a problem for me in practice. The new interior looks nice though.

BYD Seal s hot..would be hotter in a wagon config.

Just imagine all new 2027 byd seal with gen 4 ev platform and dry electrode byd battery pack 2.0 with 250 wh/kg pack level energy density(dry electrode has the potential of 60 percent higher active materials in LFP cathodes)and kerb weight of 1700 kg for all wheel drive 80 kwh battery pack

"quite fast for an electric car" or "quite fast for a car" :)

Yep, I think it is surprising, that they didn’t gave the car a new battery.

They are selling well around the North of England, indeed by observation they along with MG seem to have now replaced Tesla has the preferred new Ev manufacturer, other than those from legacy companies BMW, Audi, Honda, Nissan, Porsche and Mercedes.

Other sedan in the same price range in china give significant batter range and bigger size.

Here's the problem when reality hits the road for the 800V architecture you and I are excited about. For example there are only 13 charging stations in all of Australia with the ability to charge at 350KW and there looks to be 3-4 different plug configurations. According to my PlugShare app. I took my Tesla M3 from Vancouver, BC Canada to Seattle, Washington and there are ZERO 350KW superchargers anywhere in the Pacific Northwest US or Canadian. My charging speed maxed out at 150KW even though the station was apparently 250KW and about 25% capacity. Super disappointing to have to wait 50 minutes to charge ~ 65% of my battery. Yes, I conditioned my battery. Sadly, I may end up taking my Prius V for our families next medium range road trip.

Come on BYD with BYD blade battery 2.0

This new Seal with the new e-platform 3.0 EVO will feature (according to BYD themselves) the worlds highest speed mass-produced electric drive motor available in a production car. Capable of spinning up to 23,000 RPM. That's how it's able to get up to 240kmh!

is there any more information on the sealion 7 ?

Shame about the interior. The current interior looks fantastic with its swoopy air vents. Reminds me of a Lexus LS. The new version looks overdone. Don't need a full with screen.

I thought Gen 3 Evo had blade 2.0. That’s disappointing

08:04 - yeah... that's not clever. The 🦭 will definitely come to Australia...but the Zeekr 001 only hopefully...so you night end up wauting years for the latter...and it never might come to Australia (because you have to drive on the wrong side...). Take the Seal and enjoy your life. As long as there is no autonomous driving level 5 and robotaxis you won't feel the differences anyhow

there are a couple of Seals in my neighbourhood here in Chiang Mai and I must say, they are nice looking.

If there are glaring weaknesses, then it's not a fantastic car.

Seals in Malaysia has a single phase OBC which is fucked up.

wow the infection in your eye is getting worse. Have you tried antibiotic eyedrops?
