Yet another BYD vehicle has been crash-tested and has passed with flying colors. Aside from the BYD Dolphin, which also got a 5-star rating, the BYD Seal was tested and received a similarly high score. They were both tested by the Australian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP), which follows closely in the testing systems of the European NCAP. Both BYD electric vehicles (EVs) were also tested under the newest protocols. Like other NCAP tests, the ANCAP consists of four categories: adult occupant

Another point for Tesla! Nissan US has become the first Japanese automaker that lets you charge with Tesla's proprietary North American Charging Standard (NACS) plug type.

It also has a plush interior and dramatic styling, all for ₱1,688,000. Which of these

When speaking about how expensive Electric Vehicles are, we can’t get away from the fact that, despite the TRAIN and EVIDA laws already being implemented, EVs are still prohibitively priced. For the sake of argument, though, there are calculations that can be done to see if it’s actually going to save you money in the long run. Let’s take the cheapest available EVs in the Philippines, the Wuling Mini EV, and the BYD Dolphin. Why the two, you may ask? Officially, the BYD Dolphin is the cheapest E

I bet, no one could deny, that they also have dreamt of having a fully-electric vehicle, as we don't see the fuel price stop spiking these days. Little that we know, Japanese automobile manufacturer Nissan Motor Corporation is one of the first to develop electric-powered vehicles, with their first electric vehicle Tama in 1947, and they have been continuously developing in the succeeding years. In 2010, the company has launched the first-generation Nissan Leaf with more advanced and innovative c
