In this episode, we wrap up our EV camping series with a full review of what it’s really like to camp and sleep in a BYD Seal Premium Edition. If you haven’t seen the first two episodes, make sure to check them out for the full journey—from the drive to the campsite near Kiama, to setup and our first night experience.

In this final episode, we cover:

✔️ The overall camping experience in a sedan EV

✔️ Real-world sleeping comfort inside the BYD Seal

✔️ EV vs ICE camping comparison

✔️ Charging using a standard Australian GPO outlet

✔️ BYD granny charger vs third-party charger performance

✔️ How we achieved ZERO travel costs on this trip

✔️ Tesla Model Y camping setup comparison (including mattress setup)

One of the biggest highlights? This entire trip—about a 2-hour drive each way—was completed without using public chargers. By charging at home and topping up at the campsite, we effectively paid nothing for travel thanks to EV efficiency (and solar charging at home).

We also dive into charging speeds:

🔌 BYD standard granny charger (~1.7 kW)

🔌 Third-party charger (~2.4 kW on 10A)

When it comes to sleeping, we give an honest rating of the BYD Seal as a camping vehicle. While the climate control makes overnight stays comfortable, space is limited—making it more suitable for solo or emergency sleeping rather than regular camping.

We also compare it to the Tesla Model Y, which offers significantly more space and comfort—especially for families.

📍 Location: Near Kiama, NSW – great for fishing, beaches, and quick weekend getaways from Sydney.

This was our first time camping inside vehicles instead of tents—and we’ll definitely be doing more! Next up, we may try an SUV setup (like the BYD Atto 3) for a better camping experience.

This episode features a transcript from the Electro Revolution YouTube channel detailing a camping trip involving two electric vehicles and one traditional internal combustion engine car. The host, Michael, describes the experience of sleeping inside a BYD Seal sedan, noting that while the climate control was excellent, the interior was somewhat cramped for a tall adult. A significant portion of the narrative focuses on the financial benefits of EV travel, as the group utilised standard power outlets at the campsite to recharge for free. The video also compares the performance of different portable "granny" chargers, highlighting that a third-party unit from Aldi outperformed the factory-supplied BYD cable. Ultimately, the creator recommends using an SUV for future excursions to improve comfort while maintaining the zero-cost travel advantages of electric transport.
