BYD EA1 Hatchback with 600mile Range | Shanghai Auto Show Reveal
Paul Barron Network
BYD has announced at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show an all-new e-platform 3.0 for the next-generation electric vehicles as well as unveiling the all-new hatchback EA1 model. The largest battery pack options should translate into a range of up to 600 miles (965 km) NEDC, probably closer to 400-450 miles (644-724 km) in the real world. The battery system will be 800 V, which will increase the overall efficiency, as well as allow to fast charge very quickly: 5 minutes to replenish 90 miles (145 km) at the peak. There is a new 8-in-1 module for the drive system for outstanding performance (0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds) and a new heat pump to minimize range loss from heating in winter. The BYD EA1 also has a variety of customizable trim options.
P.S. The NEDC test is too optimistic, but dividing it by a factor of 1.4, we are obtaining an realistic and quite impressive result - 690 km...  Â
