China's BYD New Hybrid Cars: Ultra-Long 2,000 km Range For Under $14,000

BYD has unveiled a new hybrid powertrain capable of traveling more than 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles) without recharging or refueling. Bloomberg's Craig Trudell discusses how the upgraded technology intensifies the EV transition war with rivals Toyota and Volkswagen. He is on "The Pulse With Francine Lacqua."

Smuggling BYD cars into the U.S. will be more profitable than smuggling drugs one day.

2400km real life testing result. 1.9litre/100km with AC on. This tech is revolution.

In 2023, American car brands sold more than three million vehicles in China, and Chinese brands sold almost zero in the US market. Then the US government said that China has overcapacity.

[SW-fypq]

US："Damn! China stole our EV technology that we have yet to invent！"

[lvjinbin]

why Chinese communist didn't ban Tesla, but American capitalists banned BYD?

[rudyalfonsus]

Omg. hope BYD's CEO doesn't have any daughter that travel to north america

[jackoh]

This is seriously overcapacity in their range. Absolutely a national security threat to the US oil industry.

Yellen: The range of democratic and free cars is 400-600 kilometers, and China challenges the international order, and the range of 2, 000 kilometers is 1, 400 kilometers, of which 1, 400 kilometers is excess capacity!

I watched several Chinese YouTubers doing real world gas consumption testing on the new BYD hybrid, and most of them reached 2400 Km (with a full tank of 65 Liters gas), which is equivalent to 80+ miles per gallon (on mix of highway and local drive), which is insane.

Note: I suspect that the above results came from driving at relatively slower speeds.
I later found another two real world tests, who drove mostly on highway at speed limits (120-100 km/h), and their results are about 1950-2000 km, which is very close to BYD’s official number. This is still quite impressive.

Note 2: I later found another testing video from a group who always does some kind of “abusive”tests, who test drove this car to another extreme, five big guys, heavy load in trunk, driving above speed limit on highway (which is real bad for any hybrid fuel economy), AC to very low, sometimes windows open … ended up merely 1200km, far below its advertised 2000km.
So I would say the range varies quite a lot, depending on your driving conditions or habits.

1 tank from NYC to Miami is just nuts. All for 14k!!! I want one!!!

[electromega]

Basically, having a Chinese vehicle in the US becomes a luxury.

[Milky-Space]

BYD In China: Build you dream
BYD in America: Ban your dream

[yonghuachen]

China EVs are not over capacity, but over advanced.

[Aapig]

How I wish that ordinary people in the United States can also use such high-quality and affordable cars. Long live the unity of the people of the world.

[L]

Prepare to hear hybrid-range overcapacity.

BYD:Build Your Dream ❌
BYD:Be Your Dad ✔

Biden to American: forget it, I will make sure that no American can access it.

[Invicibles]

Hybrids are really the future.. 2000 km is incredibly a game changer and totally eliminates range anxiety into oblivion.

[slammerw]

I was in Shanghai earlier this year. BYD isn’t the only cool Chinese car company. Aito and avatr are even better. At the rate the Chinese are innovating and backed with a world beating manufacturing output, they will dwarf not only the US but the EU as well. The west is more focused on no bail, female sports, victimization, DEI, LGBT, ESG movements than actual scientific development.

[cshan]

Americans can only talk about Chinese cars, can't have it no matter how good they are, due to national security.
