DIGIVESTASI - Although both use an electric platform, the BYD Seal battery placement model is different from the other two BYD electric vehicle lines sold in Indonesia: Atto 3 and Dolphin. "In Atto 3 and Dolphin, the battery is installed separately under the chassis.

The system can be disassembled, so it is easy to remove and install," explained Bobby Barata, Product Manager of BYD Motor Indonesia. Meanwhile, continued Bobby, the BYD Seal electric sports sedan is designed to be integrated into the chassis, using what BYD calls cell-to-body (CTB) technology. Bobby said such a design has many benefits, including being able to minimize storage space and keep the cabin space spacious.

In addition, the more compact and compact design and placement of the battery on the chassis floor increases the vehicle's center of gravity for optimum stability. In terms of safety, it is also said to be safer because the battery is integrated into the structure in the event of a collision. "Crash tests are conducted until the car is destroyed, and the battery is still safe," he said. Then the question is, how to remove the battery if there is damage to the cell?
