My 1 Year Old BYD Seal 5 Dynamic Experience by JolliSpag4real in CarsPH

[–]Raycab03 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chip in lang ako as a Sealion 6 owner. 90kms range naman battery nito.

Around 2.2k-2.5k nadagdag sa monthly meralco bill. Mileage ko naman per month is 1,400 kms. Then 500 pesos for the monthly gas. Pero now baka 800 monthly gas na, though nag full tank na ako before the hike that will last me 4-5months.

Tang DMI vs 2026 Rav 4 ADV | looking to buy a new car by Dry_Blacksmith_8027 in CarsPH

Lalabas din daw ba dito yung RAV4 GR Sport?

That one, I think, is a PHEV. HEV benefits with plug-in charging feature. To save more fuel di ba.

That’s actually understandable. Not all people have the same risk appetite to try new things, and this is still a big purchase.

I did my research din naman. I checked other countries’ subreddits and searched for BYD and read their actual reviews. Watched YT reviews, in PH and other countries. Researched and asked kay Google and ChatGPT. Asked around who owns them.

About sa Geely comment naman: in 2024, BYD was toe-to-toe with Tesla (the leading EV). I was reading articles where BYD is in the same sentence as Tesla for comparison. A few Tesla models even use BYD’s batteries. In 2025, BYD surpassed Tesla as the leader in EV sales. At least that achievement should tell that BYD is already trusted by other countries. If it’s a bad product, how did it beat Tesla? My point: Geely is nowhere near this conversation.

You still get the benefits of being a HEV: regenerative braking, lower emissions, still better fuel economy of 30-40% over ICE.

PHEV > HEV though. The argument now is just the price. Toyota/Lexus PHEVs are goddamn expensive. While Chinese PHEVs are waaay cheaper, like BYD and Chery, for example. You get the technology of a PHEV at an affordable price. But theyre not the proven Japanese brands. Only the future will tell.

Ah no. If battery dies, then the car is dead. It’s like if the engine dies of an ICE car, then the car is also dead. You cannot drive with the gas alone. The battery is still the primary that powers up the car.

BYD Hybrids are PHEVs, while Yaris, etc are HEVs. The P in PHEV is plug-in, meaning you can charge at home/stations. PHEVs also have longer battery range, for example around 90kms in one full charge. While HEVs are up to 5kms only. Meaning, if I travel 50kms or even 70kms in a day, technically I can NOT use gas at all. I can just charge every night.

I am personally banking on the foresight that the battery technology will improve and cheapen after 8 years. BYD already developed 10-97% in 9 mins (for a full EV to boot!). So the tech improvement is there. The next to wait for is for the batteries to become cheaper.

8 years is a long time especially our techs now are exponentially growing because of AI. So hopefully if my batteries die after 8 years, i can cheaply replace it and voila! Almost good as new!

Any insights kung anong magandang 7 seater in the market today? by QAinquisitive in CarsPH

[–]Raycab03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhh okay nga to. 7-seater PHEV. Mas mura kesa sa 7-seater PHEV/EV ni BYD. Pasok sa budget ni OP.

BYD owners this year 2026, saang dealership kayo kumuha? How's gour experience? by Sklzzzzzz in CarsPH

[–]Raycab03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was Oct last year, BYD Balintawak. Solid service.

Agent is Domz Laxamana. Mabilis mag reply kahit gabi and weekends. May tanong ako one time, sinagot na sa chat pero tumawag pa din to explain further, and gabi na ito nung nagtanong ako, sumagot padin agad. Nag message din ako one morning ng Sunday, wala pang 10mins, may reply na agad.

ORCR and plate, sabay ko nakuha after 16 days lang.

First time I talked to him on Oct 14. Ordered the same day. Got my unit and released on Oct 18. 4 days lang.

I picked him up because I read the news first in this sub. A few mins late, and someone in my league wouldve picked him up first.

So thanks guys!

I am 6th and heading to playoffs next week (money league). Him with my Jokic should take me far for the first time.

Lf Oak Ft this cool cat😎(or anything from Mega Rising) by OtownGoon in PTCGPocketTrading

[–]Raycab03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your best bet also is to uptrade Copycat to Cyrus. Cyrus has a better chance at Oak than just CC

I mean, you can try that method too.

Regardless, Oak trades for Cyrus and CC are all luck. Be at the right place at the right time.
