What type of battery does the BYD e2 use?
2 Answers
The BYD e2 uses a ternary lithium battery. The dimensions of the BYD e2 are 4240mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1530mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. It features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. The vehicle is equipped with a permanent magnet motor, delivering a maximum horsepower of 96ps, a maximum power of 70kw, and a maximum torque of 180nm. It is paired with a single-speed fixed gear ratio transmission. The BYD e2 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive. It comes with 205/60R16 tires and features such as tire pressure monitoring, driver seat belt reminder, traction control, brake assist, and rear radar.
I've been researching electric vehicle batteries recently, and the BYD e2 uses BYD's self-developed lithium iron phosphate Blade Battery. This battery design is quite unique—it shapes the battery cells into long, thin strips, arranged side by side like blades, eliminating the traditional battery pack's module structure. The biggest advantage is a significant increase in space utilization, allowing more battery cells to be packed compared to conventional battery packs. Moreover, the lithium iron phosphate material itself offers high safety, making it less prone to catching fire or emitting smoke during nail penetration tests, and it boasts an exceptionally long cycle life, with minimal capacity degradation even after five or six years of use. The standard version of the e2 has a capacity of around 40 kWh, offering a range of approximately 400 kilometers, which is more than sufficient for urban commuting.
