BYD Tang L EV

1. The car is big and comfortable, with ample space. I have a large family with many children, so I decided to get a 7-seater, which is usually used as a 5-seater. If you say it looks like an MPV, it's too big, and driving it around makes you look like a chauffeur.
2. The trunk is large. With the third row folded down, its loading capacity is very strong. To be honest, it's okay for adults to sit in the third row occasionally. If you insist it's uncomfortable, there's nothing I can do. Oh, and the frunk is also very large and deep.
3. In terms of range, I think it's okay. The main reason is that the car body is relatively heavy. I've never driven an electric car before, and I was worried about the battery before buying the car. But when I actually started using it, it's just one word: amazing, really amazing! Some people say the battery is expensive, but once you've bought or driven an electric car, you won't go back to fuel cars. Why? Because the driving experience is completely different. Electric cars have a quick start, smooth acceleration, low noise, and a quiet interior. You won't feel tired even on long drives. Especially with the intelligent features, the intelligent driving system of a certain brand is okay after tuning. Overall, it offers good value for money and is very suitable for family use. I've also summarized some energy consumption information for your reference. When you're hesitating between a pure electric and a plug-in hybrid, you can choose the pure electric version without hesitation. Only those who buy plug-in hybrids will have charging anxiety. Oh, unless it's really inconvenient for you to charge, then you should still go for the plug-in hybrid.
4. The comfort level is good. The seats have strong wrapping. The air conditioning cools quickly. When the comfort mode is on, the elderly won't get carsick on long trips. Anyway, my grandma never gets carsick in my car and always praises how comfortable it is. The only drawback is that the car is too high, so it's a bit inconvenient to get in. With 7-second acceleration, you can still feel a noticeable push when you step on the accelerator hard. It's no problem for daily overtaking.
5. I think the intelligent features are also okay. The 360-degree panoramic view is great and very clear. It can also be used at night. The turning assist lights are also very useful. The infotainment system is quite smooth. I'm looking forward to the subsequent OTA. (Hurry up with the OTA, please!!!)

[Advantage 1] Spacious interior with 7 seats, large and imposing.
The car is 5.04 meters long, offering a very large interior space. It gives a sense of security and has a strong presence. In the market, only cars in the 9 - series can outshine the Tang L in terms of presence. Usually, it can be used as a large 5 - seater. My wife, kids, and I are very satisfied with this space. The second row is so spacious that you can stretch your legs. People with kids at home definitely know that there's never enough space as there are always endless kid - related items to carry. The frunk is also a pleasant surprise.
[Advantage 2] Megawatt flash charging, upgraded blade battery, supports dual - gun charging, and enables rapid energy replenishment.
Currently, the most practical aspect of this technology is probably the dual - gun charging, which can significantly reduce the charging time. If I use one gun, it takes about forty - plus minutes to fully charge the car. With two guns, it generally takes no more than 30 minutes, shortening the time by one - third. The power of one gun is 220KW, and the second gun can usually get about 80 - 100KW. Flash charging isn't very usable yet. As of July 22, 2025, there are no more than 5 flash - charging stations available in Chengdu, and not all of them can be used for charging. Every time I go to charge the car, I arrive late but leave the earliest, which makes others envious.
[Advantage 3] The Tian Shen Zhi Yan B intelligent driving system exceeds expectations.
I used to be a firm non - believer in intelligent driving. However, after using it once, I found it really great. Especially in traffic jams and parking situations, intelligent driving is an absolute must - have. In traffic jams, the slow speed isn't a safety concern. When it comes to parking, BYD's support makes me more confident to use it freely. Out of a 5000 - kilometer driving distance, about half (during my daily commute home) was under autonomous driving, and there were no incidents. I rarely had to take over the control. But there are also some drawbacks, which I'll elaborate on when I mention the disadvantages later. If the full score is 100, Chinese - made intelligent driving systems can score 98 points. I think the Tian Shen B can score around 88 - 90 points, which is unexpectedly good.

[Appearance] It's round and chubby, looking very imposing. I really love the taillights. They're very pretty. I chose the Bamboo Green exterior with orange interior. The black one is also very cool, but it suits people who are diligent as they need to wash the car often.
[Space performance] The car is quite big and has excellent space performance. There are 6 people in my family, including 2 adults and 2 kids (aged 13 and 9 respectively). It's not crowded when they sit in the second row. We've always used the third row as a trunk ??
[Charging time] Currently, there's no megawatt flash charging where I am. Even when plugging in two guns at the super - charging station, it charges very fast. The charging speed depends on the power of the charging pile.
[Assisted driving] How should I put it? I've had over 10 years of work experience and have witnessed many traffic accidents. I've seen many scenes of life - and - death separations, bloody scenes, and people suffering on hospital beds. So for me, it's okay to have this function, but it should be used with caution. I haven't used it in the urban area. I've used it a few times on the highway and urban expressways, and I never took my hands off the steering wheel. I was very nervous when using the intelligent driving. I can't say I'm an excellent driver, but when the steering wheel is in my hands, it means responsibility, responsibility for myself, my family, and others.
[Range and energy consumption] This is my first time driving an electric car, and it's this 2.7 - ton behemoth. My energy consumption is quite high. The power consumption for urban commuting is 19 - 20 kWh. I asked the car owners in the group about it and heard the term "light - footed driving" for the first time ???? After many experiments, I can now control the power consumption at around 17 - 18 kWh in the urban area. I drove 50 km on the national road today and got an energy consumption of 15.6 kWh for the first time ???? I mainly commute in the urban area. From a full charge to 20%, it can run about 400+ km (it varies from person to person. Many experts in the group can drive 600 km, but I can't achieve that yet).
