What is the pure electric range of BYD?
2 Answers
BYD's pure electric range is between 305 kilometers and 520 kilometers. The composition of electric vehicles includes the electric drive and control system, mechanical systems for drive force transmission, and working devices to accomplish set tasks. Taking the BYD F3 as an example, its body dimensions are 4533mm in length, 1705mm in width, and 1490mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2600mm. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The BYD F3 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. This engine delivers a maximum power of 80kW and a maximum torque of 148Nm.
I've been driving a BYD electric vehicle for a while now, and I'm quite satisfied with its range performance. BYD offers several pure electric models, such as the Han EV and Dolphin, with official claimed ranges typically between 300 to 700 kilometers, depending on the model and configuration. My Han EV has an official range of 605 kilometers, but in real-world usage, it drops to around 550 kilometers when using air conditioning or driving at high speeds. For city commuting, it's no problem at all—I can go a whole week on a single charge. Charging is also convenient; with super-fast charging, I can get up to 70-80% in just 30 minutes. In winter, the range decreases slightly, with cold weather or using the heating system reducing it by over 20 kilometers, but overall, it doesn't affect daily use. One of the main reasons I chose BYD is its safe and reliable battery technology, featuring blade battery design, which gives me peace of mind. If you're concerned about range, I'd suggest evaluating your home charging setup and driving habits. Over time, the savings on fuel costs are quite substantial.
