Quick Answer
The 2026 BYD Dolphin has been announced for the Canadian market (expected Late 2026) as a battery electric vehicle. It has a starting MSRP of approximately $33,000 CAD. The estimated range is up to 427 km on a single charge. It is equipped with a 60.5 kWh battery. It is likely eligible for the federal EV Affordability Program (EVAP) rebate of up to $5,000 CAD, and may qualify for additional provincial rebates.
Winter range
Rated range is measured in mild conditions. Here is roughly what to expect once it is cold, from real-world data rather than a rule of thumb.
At 0°C
333 km
Likely between 295 km and 376 km depending on the car
At −7°C
299 km
A normal January day across most of Canada
If you can only charge from a normal outlet
A standard 120V household outlet adds about 17.3 kWh over 12 hours — roughly 122 km of driving in mild weather, or about 85 km in the cold. For a commute shorter than that, Level 1 keeps up overnight without a charger installation.
Whether this vehicle has a heat pump is not recorded, so the band above covers both cases. Estimated from Recurrent winter range study — real-world telemetry from more than 30,000 vehicles across 34 models. A heat pump is the single biggest factor in cold weather, worth about 10 percentage points at 0°C.
