DM-i Technology: How the Plug-in Hybrid System Works 🔋

The Dolphin G DM-i uses BYD's DM-i platform, which combines a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor and a lithium iron phosphate battery. The system prioritizes electric propulsion in the city and activates the thermal engine to recharge the battery or assist on the highway, optimizing consumption. With an electric range of about 100 kilometers, recharging is done using a conventional plug. The transition between both engines is electronically managed to maintain efficiency in any situation.

Goodbye to LEZs: Now You Can Stroll Through the City Without Guilt (or Fines) 🚗

With the Dolphin G DM-i, checking the restriction map before leaving home is a thing of the past. You'll no longer have to pretend you didn't see the no-entry sign or do mental calculations about whether your brother-in-law's gasoline car can enter. That said, get ready to be asked at every traffic light: so how much does this one consume. The answer is simple: less than the coffee you have while recharging.
