BYD launched the Dolphin Surf electric hatchback in Europe, offering affordability, advanced battery tech, fast charging, and modern features with a competitive price range.

The race to build affordable electric vehicles (EVs) is intensifying, and China’s BYD Co Ltd BYDDY is charging ahead. Known for its wallet-friendly EVs, BYD has launched its popular Seagull model in Europe under a new name — the Dolphin Surf.

Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD's low-cost Dolphin Surf became its 10th model available in Europe on Wednesday, with the Berlin launch increasing pressure on European rivals to produce more affordable alternatives.
