BYD Seal U Hybrid vs Seal EV

Plug-in Hybrids are far better than pure e-vees. Deal with it. These two cars are a perfect example of what is state-of-the-art in plug-in hybrid and pure e-vees, available in the market right now. Both these cars are readily available in both Australia as well as the UK today. And the hybrid is clearly better. Firstly, it is around ten percent cheaper than the e-vee and whether you like it or not, it will hold its value far better than the e-vee, five years down the line. When it come's to performance, both cars are absolutely neck-to-neck. The Seal U being a crossover SUV body style, it is significantly taller than the Seal e-vee sedan. Plus it better ground clearance, which is in short supply in the sedan. But the most important thing is that the hybrid has ninety percent as much usable range as the pure e-vee, if you think about it from the point of real world usage. That's because ninety percent of people don't drive for more than seventy kilometres, on ninety percent of the days of a year.
