What is the approximate fuel consumption of the Han DM?
2 Answers
The BYD Han DM has a fuel consumption of 5.9 liters per 100 kilometers. Here are specific methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Lightly press the accelerator: The car consumes the most fuel during low-speed starts, so gently pressing the accelerator during startup prevents excessively high RPMs and effectively reduces fuel consumption. 2. Avoid high RPMs: Try to avoid unnecessary high RPMs, as fluctuating engine speeds can significantly increase fuel consumption. 3. Regular maintenance: Change the engine oil and remove carbon deposits. 4. Avoid sudden braking: Anticipating road conditions in advance not only improves driving safety but also saves fuel, such as gradually slowing down before traffic lights and using inertia to glide.
I've been driving the Han DM for a year and a half now, and the fuel consumption is truly worry-free. Based on my daily commuting experience, when using more electricity in the city, the pure electric range is about 70 kilometers, and the combined fuel consumption when the engine kicks in is roughly 4.5-5.5 liters per 100 kilometers. However, if you're used to flooring the accelerator on highways, the fuel consumption can rise above 6 liters. Fuel consumption is slightly higher when using air conditioning in summer or during cold starts in winter. I drive over 1,000 kilometers a month, averaging half a tank of gas every two weeks, with electricity costs just a few dozen yuan and fuel costs around two to three hundred yuan. The key is to charge as much as possible when convenient, keeping the battery level high, so the engine starts less frequently, saving more fuel. During maintenance, check the battery health and avoid excessive discharge to prevent affecting its lifespan, keeping fuel consumption stable at low levels. Anyway, it's much more economical than pure gasoline cars and suitable for commuters.
