Tips to Maximize Winter Range

The SEAL's standard heat pump keeps cabin heating efficient in freezing temperatures. Let the auto climate system manage things rather than setting the heater to maximum.
Charge to 100% before winter trips. The SEAL's LFP battery is tolerant of full charges, and starting with maximum energy gives you the best buffer for cold-weather range loss.
Precondition the cabin through the BYD app while plugged in. Heating the cabin from grid power is especially valuable with a large battery that takes a long time to charge back up.
The SEAL's aerodynamic sedan shape helps in winter. Cold air is denser, but the low drag coefficient means the SEAL handles it better than SUVs.
Use heated seats and the heated steering wheel. Even with the efficient heat pump, reducing cabin heating demand extends range further.
