BYD: Road to Dominance of Electric Vehicle/Transport

BYD in Russia. LOL

5-6 hours of charging time? and must need an assigned charging station
Does this design have a backup battery ?

5~6 hours for charging is acceptable to city buses, because you won't expect the buses be operation in deep night.

A dedicated charging station is a must have to electric bus operators. Here is a picture of a charge station in China.

I don't think the bus has an additional backup battery. Its battery package could run for 250km, which is enough for a bus for inner-city purpose.

If you want to do inter-city travel, forget bus, and take the high speed trains please!

This must be better than E-bike for sure.
The problem for E-bike E-motor, E-scooter, the bike run out of battery sooner by time, and not enough for a day per charge.

E-bus vs. E-bike? It's just like a real car vs. a toy car.
So it is really funny to see such a comparison.

Pictured Above: The BYD Tang

The BYD Tang, announced at Auto China 2014 (the Beijing Auto Show), is BYD Auto’s second generation DM 2.0 PHEV vehicle, and first of the much touted BYD 5-4-2 platform models:

5: standing for 0-100km/ h (0-60 mph) in less than 5 seconds
4: standing for 4-wheel drive
2: standing for less than 2 liters average consumed over 100 km (best-in-class fuel economy nearly equal to 147 mpg)

Similar to the BYD Qin, Tang gets its name from the Tang Dynasty, and is known throughout the world as the most prosperous of all the great Chinese Dynasties. Also announced during the innovator’s conference were two more Sport Utility offerings from BYD that will become available for order later in 2015:

The “BYD Song”, a mid-size SUV along with the “BYD Yuan”, a compact SUV will both cater to China’s insatiable demand for Sport Utility Vehicles, and when powered by BYD’s industry leading 5-4-2 platform are set to redefine limitations of current PHEVs and SUVs alike.

By the way he was just suggesting the current situation in Vietnam related to e-bikes and felt that these buses if replaced would be a better solution to the problem.

He was not comparing as you have understood.

The picture should be taken in Taiwan, not Vietnam.

The picture should be taken in Taiwan, not Vietnam.

There're over 200 million E-bike in China, more than double of Vietnam population.
Using E-bus, it must be better, if resolve well some issues.
Btw, US$800,000 is quite pricey, ok?

E-bike is a very dangerous means of transport.
I noticed some of E-bike in Vietnam, almost teenagers using it because it require no driving license.

E-bus could be better choice than E-bike, Motorbikes as in Vietnam.
I love people using public means of transport

Hybrid engine??

Nice looking city commute
Welcome to India

 

[GS Zhou]

Hybrid engine??

Tang is a PHEV (plug-in hybrid vehicle).
- When the battery is full, the car is driven in pure-electricity mode; the pure-electricity distance of Tang is about 70 to 80 km. Sufficient for daily commute purpose.

- When the battery is low of power (less than 20%), the engine will be started to power the vehicle.

WTF only 80 km?? I am taking my like back

WTF only 80 km?? I am taking my like back

As said, Tang is a PHEV car, it could be backed up by an engine, so no need for Tang to have a large battery pack to support the long electric distance. The design principal of PHEV is:
- 80km is sufficient for daily commute purpose
- if you want to do inter-city travel, rely on the engine.

If you are not satisfied with Tang, you can choose the BYD Qin EV300. It is a pure electric car (i.e. no engine). Its owns a 300km driving distance.

80 is certainly not enough, 300 yeh most of the days
