State of Charge on navigation

[PaulW1972]

Hi all, took delivery of my Excellence yesterday and said goodbye to my Polestar. One thing I’ve noticed is that the Sat Nav doesn’t seem to show what the state of charge will be at destination! This is one feature I found really useful on my Polestar; the integrated google sat nav would always show worst case so if I was travelling from the north of England to my home in South Wales and it said 3% on arrival then I knew it was more likely to be 8-10% never less than estimated. Have I just missed a setting on the BYD sat nav? The google map sat nav on apple car play doesn’t do it either!

Thanks and any help is appreciated.

I don't have an answer to your question unfortunately but I am in the same situation as yourself moving from a polestar to the BYD so would be keen to hear what you think in the future

I think there's a few things that the Seal could learn from the Polestar. The state of charge on the sat nav as I've mentioned. Unlimited data usage. No need for a Start/Stop button. User profiles so I don't have to fight my way through the menus to change the seating back every time my wife drives... or indeed listen to her awful taste in music...etc

I'm looking forward to the next 3 years with the Seal but these improvments would help!

Cheers

Does the car not include unlimited data the same as the polestar? What is the allowance if you don't mind me asking. I agree that the profiles addition would be welcome as the memory seating switches on the door made that much easier as well. How are you finding the app compared to the quite limited polestar one?

I get 1gb per month so it’s not unlimited like the Polestar. The only reason I swapped was because the lease price of the Polestar become to expensive. The Polestar is a better car.
