The average cost of maintaining a BYD Seagull are difficult to assess and depend on a variety of factors such as usage, road and environment conditions, age of the car etc.

Generally, costs are expected to gradually increase over time. During the first few years, EVs generally incur few maintenance costs.

Estimating monthly maintenance cost as a fraction of overall costs leads to a similar estimate [1.2.2.1]
