Congratulations on your new BYD!

Whether you have a sleek BYD Seal saloon, the practical Dolphin, the family-friendly Atto 3, or the new Sealion 7, the essentials below are tailored to fit your exact model — not generic marketplace products.

About BYD
BYD — short for "Build Your Dreams" — is the world's largest producer of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, and one of the few carmakers to design and build its own batteries, motors and chips in-house. That vertical integration is why BYD can offer so much technology and range for the money.
At the heart of every BYD is the Blade battery, an LFP design renowned for its safety and longevity. The UK range spans compact city EVs, family SUVs, executive saloons and even a plug-in hybrid pick-up, so there is a BYD for almost every driver.
Getting the most from your BYD's battery
BYD's Blade battery is one of the safest and most durable on the market. For everyday use, charging to around 80% preserves long-term battery health, while occasional 100% charges are fine before a long trip. Most owners find home charging overnight the cheapest and most convenient option.
Keep your charging cables and adapters organised and dry with a dedicated EV charging bag — it stops the boot becoming a tangle and protects the connectors.
Vehicle-to-Load (V2L): power tools, camping and more
Most BYD models support Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) — meaning your car can act as a giant power bank to run appliances, tools, or camping gear directly from the battery. With the right V2L adapter you can power a kettle, projector, e-bike charger or work tools from your BYD.
Read our dedicated V2L guide to understand what you can run and which adapter you need.
Protecting a brand-new car
New cars pick up wear fastest in the first few months. Tailored floor mats, a boot liner and door-sill protectors take the worry out of daily use, and a screen protector keeps the central touchscreen pristine.
