The Han EV is the first full-electric passenger car equipped with BYD’s new ‘Blade Battery’ technology which offers a remarkable single-charge range of 605 kilometres (376 miles) based on the NEDC test cycle and sets new safety standards for EVs worldwide. The vehicle also features a high-performance silicon carbide motor-control that propels the Han EV from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in 3.9 seconds.
Another feature of the vehicle will be ‘DiPilot’ – BYD’s new-to-market, self-learning, intelligent driving assistance system taking advantage of the latest 5G technology.
While BYD has pursued the tradition of naming its passenger cars after Chinese dynasties, the Han EV has been conceived, designed and manufactured to the standards more in tune with Luxury European cars. The R&D team for the Han EV comprises a wealth of high-profile executives from legacy European manufacturers, including BYD’s Global Design Director, Wolfgang Egger.
“The Han EV boasts cutting edge technology, benefiting from BYD’s more than ten years of experience in the research and development of EVs” said Yubo Lian, Senior Vice President of BYD, President of BYD Auto Engineering Research Institute. “Its use of the ultra-safe Blade Battery, as well as BYD’s in-house pure electric platform, body structure design, eco-friendly materials and safety systems make the Han EV the safest electric car currently on the market. We believe that the Han EV combines the best of Eastern wisdom and Western aesthetics and will fulfil the growing overseas market for a high performance, long-range and ultra-safe electric car. In the longer term, we are also looking forward to seeing the Han EV making a positive impact in other markets around the world.”
The Han EV is scheduled to receive its introduction in China towards the end of June 2020.
