I finally bought an EV, helped by the increase in fuel prices. Its a BYD dolphin. There’s lots to like

  • Its fast and easy to drive.
  • Its easy to park.
  • It has nice electronics, including unlock with the phone.

I worry about the range. I took it to Kerry and needed a charge on the way there. However, I don’t think charging will take long and I have a book. It also comes with a lot of safety features that are way too sensitive.

The two improvements I made pretty quickly:

  • Take out the rear boot shelf - this gives me a few more inches down into the boot and makes the boot feel bigger.
  • Take out the rear headrests when not needed - this gives more rear visibility.
