How Many Kilometers Can BYD New Energy Vehicles Run?
2 Answers
The range of BYD pure electric vehicles is between 305 kilometers and 520 kilometers, influenced by the energy density of the vehicle's battery. Methods to increase the range are as follows: Try not to increase the vehicle's weight. Maintain tire pressure at the standard value (AionS standard tire pressure is 250kPa). Choose roads with relatively better surfaces whenever possible. At high speeds, wind resistance significantly impacts electricity consumption; control your speed and avoid excessively high speeds. Frequent rapid acceleration and deceleration increase electricity consumption; try to start smoothly and maintain a constant speed. Using single-pedal mode and extreme energy-saving mode results in lower electricity consumption and more energy recovery, which can increase the range to some extent. Use the air conditioning wisely; it is recommended to set the temperature between 24-26°C with lower fan speed. Use the vehicle's comfort features (such as seat welcome function, seat ventilation, and heating) reasonably as needed. Use lights, multimedia, and other functions reasonably as needed. Prefer slow charging whenever possible (the charging cutoff strategy is determined by the single-cell voltage reaching a certain value. With DC fast charging, the charging current is relatively large, and the single-cell voltage rises quickly. When fast charging shows full, it may not actually be fully charged). 11. It is recommended to plug in the charging gun to preheat the battery before and after using the vehicle in winter (when the battery temperature is low, the temperature control system HVH will activate to heat the battery, consuming some electricity. Choosing plug-in heating can replenish the electricity consumed by the heater in time, improving the range).
I've been driving the BYD Han EV pure electric car for a while now, and I must say its range is quite reliable. My daily commute in the city is about 50 kilometers per trip. The official full-charge range is a bit over 600 kilometers. In summer with air conditioning on, it can run about 550 kilometers, while in winter when temperatures drop, the range might decrease to below 500 kilometers, but it's generally no problem for slow city driving. On highways, the increased wind resistance leads to faster battery consumption, but I've tested a round trip from Beijing to Tianjin and still had over 100 kilometers of range left after fully charging. A friend who drives the BYD Dolphin also reports similar performance, with careful driving allowing the actual range to approach the official 400 kilometers. Overall, choosing a model depends on personal habits. Pure electric versions are suitable for commuters. After driving for over two years, I haven't noticed significant battery degradation. Routine maintenance mainly involves checking that the charging plug isn't loose, and charging once a week is both convenient and cost-effective, especially with the abundance of charging stations. However, more aggressive driving will reduce the range, so it's advisable to plan reasonable destinations to avoid range anxiety midway.
