What are the three electric components covered by BYD's lifetime warranty?
2 Answers
BYD's lifetime warranty for the three electric components refers to the motor, battery, and electronic control system. BYD's lifetime warranty means that the motor, battery, and electronic control system are protected by lifetime warranty regulations and policies, which means they can be repaired for free for life. If the three electric components of an electric vehicle fail, the repair costs can be very high. Therefore, to encourage car owners to purchase electric vehicles, BYD has introduced a lifetime warranty commitment for these three components. The battery in the battery system is not the battery that provides lighting or powers the air conditioning, but the high-voltage battery responsible for supplying power. In current electric vehicles, the more common battery types are lithium iron phosphate batteries and ternary lithium batteries. The motor system is the high-voltage motor that provides torque for the car. It is divided into two types: one is the AC asynchronous motor, and the other is the permanent magnet synchronous motor. In new energy vehicles, it plays the role of the power system and, like the battery system, is one of the core components of pure electric vehicles. The electronic control system is relatively more complex and acts as the central nervous system in new energy vehicles, issuing corresponding instructions based on relevant information. Additionally, the motor controller needs to control the speed and direction of the drive motor, as well as manage tasks such as energy recovery.
I've been following BYD's cars for years and have been driving one for quite some time. I find their lifetime warranty on the three electric systems very reliable. The three electric systems refer to the battery, motor, and electronic control system: the battery is what powers the car for hundreds of kilometers after charging, similar to a phone battery but larger and more durable; the motor is the power source that drives the wheels, without which the car wouldn't move; the electronic control system is like the car's computer manager, responsible for distributing power and controlling temperature. The lifetime warranty means that after purchasing a BYD, if there are any issues with these core components, the manufacturer will repair or replace them for free, saving you a lot of money and avoiding unexpected breakdowns. This policy gives electric car owners peace of mind, especially during long trips when you don’t have to worry about the car stalling. BYD uses this policy to prove their technology is reliable. I recommend friends who want to buy an electric car to carefully read the warranty terms, not just focus on the price. Personally, driving it daily has been smooth and worry-free, not to mention eco-friendly. Even after long-term use, I don’t have to worry about repair costs, and calculating the annual savings, it really adds up.
