Chinese automaker BYD has continued to expand beyond its home market of China. It is seeking to replicate its remarkable performance and leadership position in China in other premium markets. The BYD Seal utilizes the same e-Platform 3.0 that the Atto 3 and Dolphin EVs feature. However, the Seal is the first BYD model to use the company’s Cell-to-Body technology. The EV’s battery is incorporated within the car’s structure for enhanced safety.
