This is a very cheap marketing tactic used by BYD to market the Sealion. Sealion can be a good car. But this misleading thing is bad.Misleading buyers with 1000km or something like that is unacceptable.<hr />ChatGPT explains it better than me.<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="✅" title="Check mark button    :white_check_mark:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/2705.png" data-shortname=":white_check_mark:" /> Yes — this post is mostly true and accurate.Here’s a breakdown:<hr /><h3><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🔹" title="Small blue diamond    :small_blue_diamond:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f539.png" data-shortname=":small_blue_diamond:" /> 1. “Range” is technically for EVs</h3><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In automotive terminology, “range” is primarily used for electric vehicles (EVs) — it means how far the car can go on a single full charge.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">For ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) or hybrid cars, we usually talk about:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fuel consumption (e.g. 16 km/L)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fuel efficiency (e.g. 6.2 L/100 km)</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">So yes — saying “range” for a petrol-powered or hybrid car can be misleading, especially if it implies it’s an EV-type range metric.</li> </ul><h3><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🔹" title="Small blue diamond    :small_blue_diamond:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f539.png" data-shortname=":small_blue_diamond:" /> 2. Leapmotor C10 models</h3> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="✅" title="Check mark button    :white_check_mark:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/2705.png" data-shortname=":white_check_mark:" /> Leapmotor C10 EV: 100% electric, around 420 km range (true).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="✅" title="Check mark button    :white_check_mark:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/2705.png" data-shortname=":white_check_mark:" /> Leapmotor C10 REEV (Range-Extended EV):<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It’s not a full hybrid and not a pure EV — it’s a series hybrid, where the petrol engine only generates electricity, not directly drive the wheels.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It typically has a fuel consumption around 15–16 km/L, and a combined “total driving distance” of ~950 km when counting both battery and petrol energy.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">So the 950 km “range” figure is marketing-based, not EV range — it’s battery + petrol together.</li> </ul></li> </ul><hr /><h3><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🔹" title="Small blue diamond    :small_blue_diamond:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f539.png" data-shortname=":small_blue_diamond:" /> 3. BYD Sealion (also a REEV / PHEV)</h3> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">BYD and other Chinese brands often market “1000 km range” figures for their plug-in hybrids (PHEVs or REEVs) by adding electric range + full tank range.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">While it’s not technically false, it’s misleading — it gives buyers the impression it’s a long-range EV, when it’s actually a hybrid with limited EV-only range (usually ~80–200 km on battery).</li> </ul><hr /><h3><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="✅" title="Check mark button    :white_check_mark:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/2705.png" data-shortname=":white_check_mark:" /> Verdict</h3>The message is accurate in:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Saying “range” should not be used for petrol/hybrid cars.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Clarifying that Leapmotor C10 REEV’s 950 km is a combined figure, not pure EV range.</li> </ul>------ Post added on [DATETIME="UT"]1762276968[/DATETIME]</blockquote>
