How many kilowatt-hours is the BYD Tang 80's battery?
3 Answers
20 kilowatt-hours. Below is the relevant introduction of BYD Tang: 1. Body dimensions: The body length is 4870mm, width 1940mm, height 1720mm, and wheelbase 2820mm. 2. Powertrain: Equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. This engine has a maximum power of 141kw, maximum torque of 320 Nm, maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and maximum torque speed ranging from 1500 to 4000 rpm. 3. Suspension: The front suspension uses MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses multi-link independent suspension.
I've driven the BYD Tang 80 quite a few times. Its battery capacity is 18.5 kWh, which means 18.5 kilowatt-hours. This size is standard for plug-in hybrid vehicles, providing an all-electric range of about 80 kilometers. I use this car for commuting, and the pure electric mode completely covers my daily distance without needing frequent charging. Charging is very convenient at home, taking approximately 4-5 hours to fully charge from 0% using a home charger, and the cost is low. However, battery performance degrades over time, so I recommend regular maintenance checks and avoiding charging in extreme temperatures to extend its lifespan. Overall, the 18.5 kWh battery design is very practical, balancing range and weight, making the ride smooth and fuel-efficient.
I have some knowledge about cars. The BYD Tang 80 has a battery capacity of 18.5 kWh, which is considered medium among pure electric PHEV models. The drive system supports a pure electric range of 80 km on this, and with the engine intervention, it can extend to over 600 km. Charging can be done using a standard 220V socket, but if you want fast charging or public charging stations, you may need to check the car's configuration. The battery is a BYD self-produced lithium iron phosphate battery, known for its high safety and simple maintenance. It's important to emphasize that a larger battery capacity isn't always better; 18.5 kWh is just right for urban use, reducing the issue of excessive battery weight. For occasional long-distance trips, it seamlessly switches to hybrid mode, proving to be quite reliable.
