What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the BYD e3?
2 Answers
The 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the BYD e3 is approximately 10 seconds. There are many factors that affect a car's 0-100 km/h acceleration time, including not only the type of engine but also the shift efficiency of the transmission, the vehicle's weight, and the driver's skill. The BYD e3 is a pure electric vehicle equipped with motors available in two versions: 70 kW and 100 kW, generally used for urban commuting. The BYD e3 has a body size of 4450 mm in length, 1760 mm in width, and 1520 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610 mm. It uses a single-speed transmission for electric vehicles, with a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I usually pay close attention to new energy vehicle data, and the BYD e3's 0-100 km/h acceleration has two noteworthy versions. The low-power motor version takes about 11.9 seconds, while the high-power motor can achieve just over 8 seconds. The most noticeable feeling when driving it is the particularly brisk initial acceleration, thanks to the electric motor delivering maximum torque instantly. However, the acceleration becomes more moderate in the later stages, as it's positioned as a family commuter car. Last time I drove my friend's e3 during a cold spell, I noticed that the battery's activity decreased in low temperatures, making the acceleration slightly slower than the claimed figures. The key to driving such a car is getting used to its power rhythm—stepping on the accelerator earlier when overtaking makes for a more relaxed experience.
