Battery Capacity: 60.48 kWh
The BYD Dolphin utilizes the proprietary Blade Battery technology, a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistry designed for superior thermal safety and structural integrity. This 60.48 kWh pack powers the extended-range variants, offering a high energy density while eliminating the need for cobalt.
Max Power: 150 kW (201 bhp/204 PS)
The high-output Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) generates 150 kW, providing the Dolphin with a power-to-weight ratio that rivals traditional hot hatches. Unlike ICE engines, this power is available instantly, ensuring smooth and linear acceleration across the RPM band.
Max Torque: 310 Nm
With a peak torque of 310 Nm available from 0 RPM, the Dolphin provides immediate throttle response. This characteristic is a hallmark of the e-Platform 3.0, which optimizes the torque delivery for both city efficiency and highway overtaking capability.
0-100 km/h Acceleration: 7.0 Seconds
The Extended Range variant completes the century sprint in exactly 7 seconds. This performance is managed by an advanced Traction Control System (TCS) that prevents wheel spin on the front-axle drive setup during high-torque launches.
Top Speed: 160 km/h
The vehicle is electronically limited to a top speed of 160 km/h (approx. 99 mph). This limitation is an engineering choice to balance motor RPM efficiency and preserve battery range at high speeds, as aerodynamic drag increases exponentially.
