How is that useful? It just has a big tank of gas, no? That doesn't really seem revolutionary.
2.9 l/100 km is pretty good though.
2.9 l/100 km is pretty good though.
A quick online search has the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid as the highest range hybrid at 670 miles (1000km so half BYD’s figure), with a 50L tank that would put at a 5l/100k.
So it has double the range AND double the efficiency of the current highest range, costing half the price… seems like a very big deal
But doubling the range is not that interesting to me, they could make the tank 4 times bigger and that would be useless for most purposes, and that was just my point. The price seems interesting indeed, but that is the price in China, which would be very different elsewhere I guess.
