What is the battery life of the BYD e2?
2 Answers
The battery life of the BYD e2 is 8 years or 150,000 kilometers. Its function is to power the starting system, ignition system, electronic fuel injection system, and the electrical components of the car. Taking the 2021 BYD e2 as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of 4240mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1530mm in height, a wheelbase of 2610mm, a front track of 1490mm, and a rear track of 1470mm. The 2021 BYD e2 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a permanent magnet motor, delivering a maximum horsepower of 96ps, a maximum power of 70kw, and a maximum torque of 180nm, paired with a 1-speed fixed gear ratio transmission.
I've been driving the BYD e2 for a while now. The official warranty for the battery life is 8 years or 150,000 kilometers, but in reality, it can last about 10 years, depending on how you use it. I'm not a particularly aggressive driver and usually charge once a week. After two years, the range hasn't dropped much. The key factors affecting battery life are charging habits: it's best to avoid daily fast charging, as slow charging protects the battery, and try to avoid deep discharges below 10%. Cold temperatures in winter can reduce range, while in summer, it's better to park in the shade. I recommend checking battery health during regular maintenance. If the range drops significantly, it might be time for a replacement. When I bought the car, the salesperson also mentioned that battery life is related to mileage—it can handle over 2,500 full charge-discharge cycles without issues, so with reasonable usage, it's quite durable.
