History of the BYD e6
The BYD e6 is an all-electric compact crossover/compact van manufactured by BYD since 2009. Its first-generation model, 40 of which are in use as cabs in the city of Shenzen, was field-tested in China in May 2010.
Sales of the first-generation BYD e6 began in October 2011, more than two years behind the originally planned 2009 release date. Some of the e6s have been used as cabs in fleet service in China, Indonesia, Colombia, Belgium, the United States, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
From 2010 to December 2016, a total of 34,862 vehicles were sold in China. The BYD e6 was also the best-selling all-electric car in China in 2016 and won the gold medal for “Best Quality Product” at the Havana International Fair in 2015.
The first generation is produced as an all-electric compact van and has a range of 400 km. Its exterior design resembles the third-generation Honda Odyssey with a shortened rear end and redesigned front end.
The automaker planned to sell the e6 model in the U.S. before government incentives were available. However, after the U.S. launch was delayed several times, BYD announced in October 2011 that sales to retail customers would be delayed by 18 months due to the lack of charging infrastructure.
The first-generation models were used in vehicle fleets that require long range, such as cabs, police cars, and car rentals. Specifications include a range of up to 400 km with an 80-kWh battery, a guaranteed lifetime of 4000 charging cycles, and fast battery charging to 80 percent capacity in 15 minutes.
In February 2021, news surfaced about the second-generation BYD e6, which is heavily based on the BYD Song Max. It uses the body of the BYD Song Max and features a redesigned front end with Dragon Face design language, resulting in increased length and height compared to the Song Max.
The second-generation e6 uses BYD’s Blade batteries in conjunction with a 70kW electric motor that also supports a 40kW AC fast charger, a unique charger among new electric vehicles. It is currently available in Singapore, Australia, Thailand and India markets.
