Why was the BYD e2 discontinued?

[DelVera]

BYD e2 was discontinued due to its low configuration and lack of rear airbags. More details about the BYD e2 are as follows: 1. Exterior: The BYD e2 adopts the "Energy Crystal" design elements, with seats that are moderately comfortable, leaning towards the firmer side. The steering wheel of the BYD e2 has limited up-and-down adjustment, and the seats cannot be adjusted vertically. Additionally, cabin noise becomes noticeably loud when the speed exceeds 80 km/h. 2. Powertrain: The BYD e2 is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 70 kW and a maximum torque of 180 N·m. While the 70 kW motor is sufficient for daily driving, with a top speed of 135 km/h, the powertrain suffers from insufficient power, necessitating a motor with higher power and greater torque. 3. Short winter range: During winter driving, setting the air conditioning temperature too high can affect the range, resulting in an excessively short driving distance.
