Can This BYD Hybrid Really Go 2,000 KM?

#BYD #DMi #phev #rangetest
BYD claims their DM-i plugin hybrid powertrain can go over 2,000 km (1250 miles) on a single tank of gas, so we decided to put it to the test!

I reckon Chinese government should revise their driving range measurement system. I think they should set up a much tougher and higher benchmarks. I want China to be a country that setting the standard for everyone to follow. So that in the not too distant future hopefully the "Chinese standard, benchmark, quality” is something that becomes a common phrase.

I used to think that too, I bought my xpeng g6 in winter, its a 755km range version, i only get about 500km, but now is late spring/summer, I get near 700km

[@tren133]

I recently traveled in China, and I think the main reason they continue to use CLTC is because most people really are just driving around cities and that test reflects this usage. For long distance travel no country in the world can match the Chinese high speed rail system in terms of how fast, smooth, and comprehensive it is. Took me from Beijing to Chongqing in 7 hours flat cruising at a smooth quiet 350 kph. Beats both air travel and road trip when you've got that HSR system.

Unlike combustion cars which achieve fuel-economy when driven at speed of 80-90KMH (55-60 MPH), BYD's hybrid vehicles' fuel-economy speed is achieved when driven in urban area with frequent stops and restarts (the cars then are powered by electric motors other than traditional engines and that why they show different performances)

Thank you for the test. For normal daily drivers in urban area 80km or more range uses BEV features a lot save lots of fuel easily reach 2000+km. Each day go home recharge battery For holiday over long range car consume mainly fuel, not using much battery range will drop to as your video calculated ~1,300km or less range (if driving mountain, hilly area) Long distance lower range because it uses lot more fuel Short distances it uses Battery thus can easily achieve 2,000+km range For daily urban drivers doing their work & travel use routine

Correction, Urban driving doesn't require daily recharge to achieve 2000+, as long as you set up the "Foced battery saving" to 25％ or higher, which will extend ur mileage dramatically

How many car mileage tests will carry two passengers and with their luggage?

Test/verification should be fair and should stick to the test conditions the manufacturer claims. That is also what we call scientific. When you quoted "BYD claims their DM-i plugin hybrid powertrain can go over 2,000 km (1250 miles) on a single tank of gas", do you know if BYD refers to your test condition, especially with 2 passengers and their luggage (weight of luggage is not revealed)?
