Overview.

Range and charging BYD claims up to 295 km of range from the Dolphin Surf's Blade Battery. In real-world conditions, daily commuters covering 50 to 80 km will find this comfortably manageable on a single overnight charge at home. The Dolphin Surf supports AC home charging through a standard wallbox, which is the most practical and cost-effective way to charge for most owners. Public DC fast charging is also supported for longer trips.

Exterior.

Equipment and technology Despite sitting at the entry level of the range, the Dolphin Surf comes with BYD's touchscreen infotainment system, connected vehicle features, and a driver assistance package that includes automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning. The interior is practical and straightforward, which suits buyers who want a reliable daily driver without unnecessary complexity.

Running costs This is where the Dolphin Surf makes a strong case for itself. There is no petrol, no engine oil to change, and brake wear is reduced because regenerative braking does much of the slowing. Home charging typically costs a fraction of filling a petrol tank for the same distance. For city commuters and short-range daily drivers, the savings over time are meaningful.
