  • For the past 4 months, I am surviving well without going to EV charging stations, I simply charged my BYD Seal using the supplied BYD Mode 2 EV charger at home. I recorded my BYD Seal travel mileage (Odometer) and charging days on my Google Calendar. These are my real world usage and charging pattern for you to download.

    Funny thing is Keith had several Charge Fox charging stations close by that were empty most of the day. It's just Tesla drivers refusing to use non Tesla chargers.

      Yes, Tesla chargers produce better quality electricity. 😄

    A good perspective on a real world case to highlight that an EV has no real disadvantages to an ICE when we change our mind about planning our driving experiences to suit the type of car we drive.

    • @SkyPerspective

      Yes I forgot to mention this point. Thanks for reminding. I feel EV is more convenient than ICE because I don't need to monitor petrol price and pump at petrol kiosk anymore. However, local government need to do more planning to bring in more EV charging stations in the rural area to prevent EV queues.

    I bet the makers of Google Calendar didn't expect it to be used for storing data points lol

    Thanks for all your videos on the BYD Seal! Can you please do a video on the "engine sound generator" of the Seal? I mean not the pedestrian warning speakers but the synthesized engine sound within the cabin. Thanks!

    • @SkyPerspective
      @SkyPerspective  3 місяці тому +1

      Does it have synthesized engine sound? I am aware it has noise cancellation as we increase the driving speed to cancel out the road noise, but there is no engine sound simulation.

    • @CarbonMotorsEU

      @SkyPerspective thanks again for your input! In one of the car menus in your videos there was a button called "engine sound".

    Thanks for the video! What's your real world range? 400km? I'm interested to hear the fake engine noise as well.
    So does the noise cancellation make a difference to the road noise levels?

    • @SkyPerspective
      @SkyPerspective  2 місяці тому

      The noise cancellation is pretty good especially when it's at higher speed. Very good for listening to natural sounds type music. Coupled with ICC after a long day's work, peak hours traffic is a lot easier to bare.
      Where do I find the engine sound? I haven't hunted for it yet.

      @@SkyPerspective why don't you try to make one, it would be interesting to understand how many km the 61 KW battery travels

    • @SkyPerspective
      @SkyPerspective  3 місяці тому +1

      Because it takes effort, time, and money. If many of you are interested, maybe I will consider making one.

      Very true, we should celebrate every day simply because we get to wake up and see our love ones every morning.
