Range anxiety? Not me!

This was actually deliberate. The BYD Seal owner's manual recommends occasionally running the battery down to < 10% then charging uninterrupted up to 100%. The purpose of this is to allow the battery management system to recalibrate, ensuring that its estimates of available charge remaining will remain accurate as the battery ages. The manual recommends doing this every 3-6 months if the car is being driven daily, though the change in battery capacity over that time should be minimal.

Replied to Nonilex

@Nonilex Musk (Tesla) vs #BYD is more interesting than #crypto. While #Tesla were amazing innovators, he got sidetracked. They also invested in product launches for silly things. They would have been better getting their core product right in terms of price, trust and features relative to the competition. #China now often leads the globe on real innovation at a competitive price, in the past it just (unfairly) copied. We sadly now need to catch up.

Making sure I'm prepared for the scheduled power outage in two weeks.

Our BYD Seal came with a vehicle-to-load adapter, which is a ~5 m long cable with a Type 2 plug on one end and a 2 outlet mains power board on the other. By itself that's only good for supplying mains power to my driveway so I also have a 30 m extra-heavy duty extension cord, plus a weatherproof power board box to protect the connection from rain.

The main reason I laid this out today was to confirm that 30 m is the right length for the extension cord, and I was pleased to find that it does reach inside our house far enough to comfortably reach our fridge, or our living room. If I now get a second 30 m extension cord I can use the other outlet on the V2L adaptor and preserve both our food and our internet connection while the power is out.

Chinese EV giant #BYD's fourth-quarter profit leaps 73%

"The company has continued to roll out cheaper models, contributing to the deepening of a brutal two-year price war in the world's largest auto market.

It has also roiled the market in recent weeks by unveiling a new super-charging EV technology platform and announcing that it will offer smart driving features on most of its line-up at no extra charge."
