The brand new BYD Qin EV will be launched on the Chinese car market in March. The Qin hybrid was launched in December 2013. The Qin EV is a full-electric vehicle powered by an electric motor with 218hp. Top speed will be 150 kilometers per hour and range will be an impressive 300 kilometer. Price including all green-car subsidies will start somewhere around 250.000 yuan.
Why it took them so long?
It was surprisingly hard for BYD to make a competent safe EV of their own. I am surprised that they tried to follow up on Qin’s success as a standalone hybrid. Hopefully, it’ll meet all expectations with a few improvements for the price (Soft plastic, real/quality leather would really make Qin an international best-seller).
This is BYD’s answer to the Chevy Bolt.
