Why is that important?

Price breaker: No other electric car offers so much reach per euro in China.
-
Sales racer: Over 60,000 Seagull units in May alone; a total of 1 million vehicles produced.
-
European potential: As Byd Dolphin Surf Can be ordered from € 22,990-whether the 405 km version follows is exciting.
Classification for Europe
If BYD also offers the new battery here, the surf with real ~ 350 km WLTP could set a price-performance benchmark and shake through the market for city-EVs-a clear announcement to Dacia Spring & Co.
outlook
BYD plans to further expand the Seagull platform. If the 405 km variant comes to Germany, discount battles in the small car segment should follow-good for everyone looking for cheap e-mobility.
