If you’ve never heard of BYD, you aren’t alone. But the Chinese company, whose initials stand for 'Build Your Dreams', is making inroads in Europe with a fleet of new electric cars. The latest addition to the range is the Dolphin, a family hatchback designed to compete at the budget end of the market, along with the MG4 EV and GWM Ora Funky Cat, as well as slightly more upmarket models such as the VW ID.3 and the Cupra Born.
In short, the Dolphin is competing with some pretty serious contenders, and it’s armed with more than just a charming name. BYD has a history of making batteries for other brands, including Tesla, and the company is already selling a sizable range of cars in Europe. In short, this isn’t an upstart brand – it’s a serious car company with serious know-how. The question is, will the Dolphin be good enough to offer serious competition?
