What is the real range of the Han EV?
2 Answers
The range of the four-wheel-drive version is 550 kilometers, while the front-wheel-drive version has a range of 605 kilometers. The BYD Han is a mid-to-large-sized car under BYD, with dimensions of 4980mm in length, 1910mm in width, and 1495mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2920mm. Here are some related details: 1. The front-wheel-drive version of the BYD Han EV is a single-motor model, while the four-wheel-drive version is a dual-motor model. The front-wheel-drive version's motor has a maximum power of 163kW and a maximum torque of 330 Nm. 2. The four-wheel-drive version has motors on both the front and rear axles, with a total motor power of 363kW and a total torque of 680 Nm. This car uses lithium iron phosphate batteries, which have lower costs compared to ternary lithium batteries and also offer better safety. The cathode of the lithium iron phosphate battery is made from lithium iron phosphate. 3. The BYD Han uses MacPherson independent suspension at the front and multi-link independent suspension at the rear. Using independent suspension on both ends improves the car's handling and ride comfort. The MacPherson suspension is a commonly encountered independent suspension with a relatively simple structure and wide application. 4. The multi-link suspension is a more complex independent suspension, which is an improvement based on the double-wishbone suspension. This suspension replaces the two wishbones of the double-wishbone suspension with separate links. The multi-link suspension enhances the wheel's grip.
As a regular owner who frequently drives the Han EV, I've taken several long-distance trips from home to my workplace and found that the official claimed range of over 500 kilometers tends to fall short in real-world driving. In city driving with frequent stops and starts, my car can achieve around 450 kilometers, but if I maintain a constant speed of 120 km/h on the highway, the range might drop to 350 kilometers. The key factor is driving habits: sudden acceleration and hard braking significantly drain the battery, so I try to drive smoothly and use the eco mode to save power. Temperature also has a big impact. In summer, with the air conditioning on, the range can still stay around 400 kilometers, but in winter, turning on the heater can reduce the range by 50 kilometers. To maximize distance, I usually look for charging stations when the battery drops below 30% to avoid range anxiety.
