CHINAPLAS: BYD launches new compact electric vehicle譲The e2』 starts at ¥99,800 in China.setBackgroundColor='#FFFFFF';_EDEFAULT The low cost is in line with BYD's approach of selling the cars as an entry level EV (with real-world city driving shortly) rather than using high-end lithium-ion batteries, and the partnership that has been put away Confidential with Daimler. The BYD E2 comes with a 35.2 KWh battery pack that allows a travel range of up to 305 kilometers as per the NEDC cycle. Whether it be the city commutes, you may fall back to its your home or not; one of the pickup strengths for an EV at this price range is its efficiency.
Most of its performance numbers — like a 70 kW (94 hP) electric motor with 180 Nm of torque at the single-speed transmission that allows up to 130 km/h top speed — aren't exactly high-performance figures, despite hence they are for daily city driving. The BYD E2 is also fast charging capable that allows the battery to be replenished up to 80 per cent in just 30 minutes of charge. Factor in that quick charging capability and it's even more appealing to folks with convenient access to fast chargers- like, say, people who live near gridlock-capable networks.
With a length of 4240mm, width of 1760mm and height of 1530mm, the vehicle's extremely tight dimensions make it ideal for driving in metropolitan city centres and parking in confined spaces. Its cabin can accommodate up to 5 passengers, and it is spacious with a boot capacity of 345 liters which provides good storage for small families or professionals who use the car on a daily basis.
Reviews of The BYD E2 from leading automotive media, such as Gasgoo and Autohome, have been mostly positive for what seems to be quite the balance between affordability for its ergonomics. A reviewer wrote that the byd e2 price "is set to redefine original technology and intelligent design scetero typical of budget EV models." Things like its 10.1-inch rotating touchscreen and standard built-in navigation system make the Defender an even more attractive proposition for tech-savvy buyers.
This is one of the most value-for-money electric vehicles on the market today, as it combines low overall costs with contemporary driving technology.
