What type of battery does the BYD e3 use?
2 Answers
BYD e3 uses a ternary lithium battery, which is independently developed by BYD. Most pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles basically use ternary lithium batteries, as such batteries represent the future trend. Ternary lithium batteries have higher energy density and are also lighter in weight. Here is additional information: BYD e3: The BYD e3 is a pure electric compact car under the BYD brand, featuring a single motor configuration. The BYD e3 is available in both 95-horsepower and 136-horsepower versions. The 95-horsepower version has a motor with a maximum torque of 180 Nm, while the 136-horsepower version also has a motor with a maximum torque of 180 Nm.
I've been driving the BYD e3, which features BYD's self-developed Blade Battery at its core. This lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery offers exceptional safety, being highly resistant to fire or explosion, giving me great peace of mind during daily commutes. With excellent energy density, it delivers a range of around 400 kilometers, and its fast-charging capability allows replenishing most of the battery from low charge in just 30 minutes—perfect for work commutes. The Blade Battery's unique design arranges thin battery cells like blades within the vehicle body, reducing weight while improving overall balance and stability during turns. Even in winter, it performs reliably with strong low-temperature discharge performance, avoiding the significant capacity degradation seen in other batteries. The battery's ultra-long lifespan—I estimate over a decade—comes with an 8-year warranty, eliminating worries about replacement. As a tech enthusiast, I particularly enjoy studying these details. BYD's continuous innovation drives the electric vehicle industry forward, and driving this car always fills me with confidence and joy.
