3 Answers
For the BYD Qin Plus DM-i with a pure electric range of 55 kilometers, the battery is generally sufficient for ordinary car owners to use for 10-15 years. For the version with a pure electric range of 120 kilometers, it is sufficient for ordinary car owners to use for 20-30 years. Below is an introduction to the 2019 1.5L Manual Comfort BYD Qin Plus DM-i: 1. Powertrain: Equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. 2. Body Dimensions: The length, width, and height are 4675mm, 1770mm, and 1480mm, respectively.
The battery of the BYD Qin Plus DM-i lasts a really long time. I've been using it for over three years without any issues. The lifespan generally starts at eight to ten years, and official data states that the lithium iron phosphate battery can endure 2,000 charging cycles. Based on my daily usage, charging once a week can easily last seven or eight years. Just avoid frequently charging when the battery is too low or exposing it to extreme heat in hot weather to maintain battery health. BYD also offers an eight-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty, so if there's any problem, they'll replace it for free—super reassuring. This car not only saves money but also switches smoothly between fuel and electric modes, making long trips worry-free regarding the battery. Driving over 100,000 kilometers is a breeze, and regular check-ups and maintenance can further extend its lifespan.
Opting for a plug-in hybrid is all about peace of mind. I've done the math, and battery longevity is the key. BYD's Blade Battery is designed for durability, lasting around ten years and handling about 150,000 kilometers without major issues. Factors affecting it include charging habits—avoid frequent fast charging as slow charging is gentler on the battery; temperature control—don’t leave the car in extreme hot or cold environments for stability. The warranty policy is a big help, covering faults within eight years, making the actual cost of ownership much lower than gasoline cars, saving hundreds in monthly electricity bills. Don’t forget regular maintenance and battery health checks to ensure long-term use.
