BYD Takes Center Stage in the EV World
China’s BYD is making a significant impact on the global automotive scene. They’ve surprised many by outperforming Tesla in some areas. The company is reporting strong profits and has announced plans for large-scale charging infrastructure (though these are currently limited to China). Notably, BYD is aggressively expanding in Europe, aiming to offer affordable electric and hybrid vehicles to consumers.
BYD’s technology is well-regarded, with reliable software and solid build quality. Many consider this newcomer to be a serious player, and their vehicles often have impressive designs.
2025 BYD Sealion
The BYD Sealion 7 is bringing BYD’s technology to the family SUV market. It’s a spacious vehicle packed with features and boasts a substantial battery. This has raised questions about the future of established automakers.
(Full Disclosure: BYD loaned me a Sealion 7 for this review.)

I’m Rohan Mehta, the voice behind KhelRe—a trusted and steadily growing blog dedicated to electric vehicles (EVs) in India. With over five years of experience as a tech and automotive blogger, I turned my frustrations with owning an EV into a mission: to help others make more intelligent choices in this fast-evolving world of electric mobility.
I’ve been an early adopter of EV technology—I repurchased my first electric scooter in 2019. That experience opened my eyes to both the promises and the pitfalls of this new mode of transport. From slow charging times and range anxiety to misleading specs and hidden costs, I’ve faced it all. But instead of walking away, I decided to write about it.
That’s how KhelRe was born—a no-nonsense, hands-on blog where I share practical, real-world reviews of EV cars, bikes, and scooters. I break down features, range, performance, and pricing from a user-first perspective. I take pride in simplifying complex tech into clear, valuable insights—offering tips, ownership stories, and advice you won’t find in flashy press releases or sales brochures.
Whether you’re a first-time EV buyer or just a curious auto enthusiast, my goal is to help you navigate the EV landscape with confidence. My motto: “EV knowledge should come from experience, not just brochures.”
When I’m not test-driving the latest e-scooter or comparing charging networks, you’ll probably find me tinkering with my garage EV setup, chatting with fellow enthusiasts online, or sipping chai while writing my next blog post from a cosy local café.
