With nearly 250,000 models sold, the BYD Dolphin was the 10th-best-selling EV in the world last year, according to data compiled by CleanTechnica.

BYD sells the electric hatch in nearly every pocket of the globe. In China, the Dolphin starts at under 100,000 yuan, or less than $15,000.

In Europe and the UK, the BYD Dolphin is priced from €28,990 ($33,700) and £30,230 ($40,500), respectively, as one of the most affordable EVs in its segment. Now, BYD’s electric hatch can be bought as an all-electric van.
