BYD e6
The BYD e6 is a battery electric vehicle manufactured by BYD Auto from 2009. Field testing for the first generation model began in China in May 2010 with 40 units operating as taxis in the city of Shenzhen. Sales to the general public began in Shenzhen in October 2011, over two years behind schedule of the originally planned release date of 2009.
A number of e6 units were operating in fleet service as taxis in China, Colombia, Belgium, Singapore, the U.S. (New York and Chicago), the Netherlands, the UK, and Indonesia. Since 2010 sales in China totaled 34,862 units through December 2016. The BYD e6 ranked as the best-selling pure electric car in China in 2016 and won a golden medal for “Best Quality Product” at the Havana International Fair 2015.
The first-generation BYD e6 was introduced in 2009. It has a range of 300 km (186 mi) according to the carmaker. Its exterior design as well as the interior design resembles the third generation Honda Odyssey (RB1/2), with a redesigned front fascia and its rear end shortened.
BYD planned to sell the e6 model in the US for US$35,000 before any government incentives. However, after rescheduling the US launch several times, in October 2011 BYD announced that sales to retail customers would be delayed at least 18 months due to the lack of charging infrastructure. In May 2013, BYD announced that the e6 would not be sold to any retail customer and would sell only to fleet customers for US$52,000, as the company planned to focus on electric bus sales in North America.[needs update]
Specifications include a range of up to 400 km (with an 82-kWh battery), a guaranteed cycle life of 4000 charge cycles and fast battery charging, to 80 percent capacity, in 15 minutes. The cars are often used in vehicle fleets with large range requirements like taxis, police cars or car rentals.[citation needed]
BYD's initial claims for the e6 in 2009 included:
This range and consumption implies a 72-kWh battery pack, which would have been the largest in any production electric car in 2009.
BYD mentioned a smaller 48-kWh battery pack for the e6 at its debut at the 2009 North American International Auto Show (no such versions were ever sold, and the vehicles rolled out in Shenzhen, China in 2010 all used batteries with at least 60-kWh capacity). However, at the 2010 NAIAS, BYD indicated a range of 205 mi (330 km) per charge, an estimated 0-60 mph acceleration time under 14 seconds, and a top speed of 87 mph (140 km/h) for the e6.
