Is there enough launch information available for customers to understand the new BYD Sealion 7
Going electric for the 1st time? The difficulty is understanding some of the nuances with the vehicle compared to traditional combustion options in petrol and diesel formats. Education and analysis are vitally important but this is actually something which may have been missed as part of the transition.
Over the last 5 years much of the effort has been invested into vehicle range, charge points at home and public charging facilities. In the last year or two, the push on discounts and prices has encouraged an increase in EV sales, with the UK tracking more in line with the ZEV Mandate compared to our expectations.
However, with this still hovering around 25% of the vehicles being sold, more is required to help UK customers make that jump. With new / used electric cars available, the next push needs to address some of the more subtle quandaries which are still present.
Labour have failed to introduce battery certificates and EV information, according to GB News . The article addresses research from AXA and Aviloo, which suggest 63% of the surveyed drivers have no plans to purchase an EV, with 37% stating concerns on battery life.
As part of their electric manifesto, Labour had identified that more information on BEVs was required, with a particular focus on battery health and functionality for used options. But, as the article identifies, there has been no political or legal changes in this market.
While there are used-EV solutions available, like the efforts from ClearWatt, the new car industry is still selling all-electric platforms in the same way as a petrol or diesel option. Yet, overcoming this, is not really that difficult with our industrious EVC™.
As you can see below, this identifies the crucial aspects for product suitability. Using the Sealion 7 Design SUV as an example, some of the elements have been succinctly presented:
Hoping to capitalise on a more educated populous is the BYD group. This week (March 2025) the Chinese automotive group officially launched their luxury SUV - the Sealion 7 - for UK personal and business customers to lease.
