The team on our sister site Carbuyer certainly weren\u2019t joking when they named the family hatchback as their 2024 Car of the Year just a couple of weeks back, and now we\u2019ve spotted a special offer that makes the Chinese electric car even more tempting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Octopus Electric Vehicles is leveraging its status as part of the Octopus Energy Group to offer no fewer than four years of free off-peak home charging to anyone leasing a BYD Dolphin before the end of 2023. The lease deal itself requires an initial payment of \u00a33,008 &#8211; equal to nine months\u2019 worth of the \u00a3334 monthly payments that you\u2019ll need to make thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a 48-month lease deal, so there\u2019s no option to own the car and you\u2019ll have to hand it back after that period. You will, however, be able to get free home charging throughout via credit added to your Octopus Energy account, and the free Octopus home charger that\u2019s also included.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--SxIKrXRk--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1679579313\/autoexpress\/2023\/03\/Cheapest%20electric%20cars-7.jpg\">The cheapest electric cars on sale 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThere\u2019s a 5,000-mile mileage limit on the deal and Octopus uses that to calculate how much free charging credit you\u2019ll receive on your electricity bill. The firm does a calculation based on the BYD Dolphin\u2019s average efficiency and its current off-peak electricity prices on the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff to arrive at the figure. If you extend the mileage limit, you\u2019ll get extra charging credit to reflect that. The 5,000-mile limit will net you around \u00a3108 per year and a 10,000 limit would equate to about \u00a3216 per year &#8211; but with corresponding higher monthly payments.<\/p>\n<p>The deal requires you to have the Intelligent Octopus Go electric-car tariff for your domestic electricity supply and a compatible home charger. Octopus will throw in a free charger and installation if you don\u2019t have one already.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Back to the BYD Dolphin, and the car being offered is a Comfort-spec model from the upper echelons of the trim-level range. It comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, an upgraded six-speaker stereo and parking sensors, in addition to a generous standard kit list that includes the brand\u2019s trademark 12.8-inch rotating central touchscreen.<\/p>\n<p>Comfort cars also come with the larger 60.4kWh battery, for an impressive official range of 265 miles. At a rapid charger capable of delivering the car\u2019s maximum 88kW charging power, the battery can be charged from empty to 80 per cent in 43 minutes. The Dolphin can get from a standstill to 60mph in seven seconds, and hit a top speed of 99mph.<\/p>\n<p>As always, our Deal of the Day, is a great deal on a car we\u2019re happy to recommend chosen by our team of experts. Terms and conditions will always apply, deals are subject to availability and prices are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Get the BYD Dolphin deal or take a look at our previous Deal of the Day here\u2026\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/byd\/dolphin\/361299\/deal-day-four-years-free-charging-and-byd-dolphin-ps334-month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The award winning BYD Dolphin looks decent value on \u00a3334 lease and great value with four years of free charging thrown in.\u00a0 We hate to say it but the BYD Dolphin has made a big splash on its arrival in the UK car market.
