The 82.56kWh BYD Blade Battery covers 482km on the WLTP combined cycle, and regenerative braking wins energy back every time you slow in traffic. Plug into 150kW DC and a top-up fits inside a break; 11kW AC handles it overnight at home. Same fares, far less spent getting to them.

Airport jobs pay, but only if the luggage fits. You get 500 litres behind the rear seats plus a 58-litre front trunk, 558 litres combined, and a one-touch tailgate so you're not wrestling bags in the rain. The 2,930mm wheelbase gives your rear passengers room to sit properly.

The driver's seat is 8-way power adjustable with 4-way lumbar adjustment and a power leg rest, and it's ventilated and heated for whatever the weather does. Soundproof double glazed front glass keeps road noise out, while the PM2.5 filter and negative ion purifier keep the cabin fresh between passengers.
