Hi, Thank you for your videos, I really hope you continue uploading more. I have a question about the passenger carrying capacity, how does it behave on sloping streets?
You're most welcome, yes, sure I will keep on posting my experience. I did have two people on board many times, I didn't notice any effect, although I'm sure they did affect the consumption, but I didn't calculate that. There are slopes, I didn't notice any change in performance although the Kw guage is showing the increased power consumption when going upwards
Really interesting to hear from someone in another land. Particularly Egypt is fascinating. That electric vehicles have made it there now. I also am a recent EV purchaser. I bought a Tesla because of the extensive charging network here in the United States and agree with you 100% that the cost of the electricity is about 1/10 the cost of gasoline for the same distance.
Thank you for watching, and glad it was interesting to you. I would've bought a Tesla in the US if I was living there, I believe it's the most obvious choice.
If you live in USA, it's not completely correct to say cost to charge is 1/10th cost to fuel up, unless you're comparing your little model 3 to a behemoth F350 with a V8 gasoline. I own a hybrid Avalon and my average mpg is 50 mpg. If gas is around $3-4 per gallon, my Avalon costs similarly to the cost of charging an average EV at home, will cost way more if charging at public. However, my Avalon has 10 times better built quality, ride quality, roomier, held value better because it's a Toyota. This is the reason why EV is going to fail hard in the US, too expensive and the infrastructure is still hugely lacking.
@@noblekitty That's great but doesn't factor up front cost ($16k Seagull EV vs approx $37k for the Avalon Hybrid) plus maintenance of 2000+ moving parts on petrol/hybrid vs avg 20 on an EV. But you're right, sad to say but US and many legacy auto makers are going to fall hard as they try to fend off lower cost decent quality functional EVs as they cannot possibly compete. Should add, I don't agree with Govts 'dictating' that gasoline/ICE cars are over by XX date. We should all have the right to choose what works for us, be it a V8 SUV, a Hybrid, or cheap EV. But in N America, you won't have access to this $16,000 car, only expensive SUVs, Hybrids and EVs.
@@SideTripLife I believe op of this post said he bought a Tesla in the US. So my comparison was between a Tesla and a hybrid Avalon. American gov would rather walk or run to work, than allowing BYD or any Chinese car being sold in the states. On another note, that 2000 + moving parts Toyota will most likely work perfectly fine till over 200k miles. The Avalon are one of the highest rated long lasting model of Toyota. There are plenty of Toyota hybrids with over 200k running about.
There are good things and bad things; certainly not being able to communicate with the voice commands, and not having the car linked to the mobile is bad, but on the other hand, I have installed many apps that make life easy, and I have a small mifi attached to the USB A port, so it works all the time the car is on, so I'm mainly on UA-cam, or Spotify most of the time. Google Maps also work flawlessly.

Did you have to install special charging equipment in your home? Can yhe mobile charger work in any socket? Lets say you plug it in to an extension connector. How long does it take the battery to go full?
There are two types of chargers; the first one is the domestic (home) charger, and that will work on any socket (8Amp) but is very slow (18 hours to have a complete charge), and there is the slow (1.8Kw/hour), AC charger (32Amp) which I usually use, and requires a charging station (costed me about USD 200 to install in Egypt), and that charges around 6.3Kw/hour (will take around 6 hours to charge to 100%
@@AhmedAzabEgypt thank you so much sir, I'm also planning to buy the seagull but there's no infrastructure here but I'm already sold the advantages are way greater.

Hello. You said that the average range of this car is between 360 and 370 kms, but even with a consumption of 10kwh/100 km, it is not possible to achieve 360 kms with a 30kwh battery, unless you have a Seagull with a larger battery (40kwh)?
Yse, BYD Seagull has V2L. And every BYD EV have V2L，This is standard configuration. Due to cost considerations, BYD will not equip some models with V2L adaptor. you just need to purchase it separately.@@AhmedAzabEgypt
I just ask a BYD friend，The BYD V2L Power strip just need 40$ in BYD Store. The BYD V2L single adapter is 14$. The BYD Seagull Max V2L Discharge power is 6.6kw. It's enough for you to have picnic with pure electricity by BYD Seagull.@@AhmedAzabEgypt

Hi, You're welcome, the battery is LFP Blade, 38.8 Kw, range is about 370Km (car is lighter than other models), and the price in Egypt is around USD 16.5K
