BYD brought its all new E-Vali electric delivery vans to the IAA Transportation show in Hannover, Germany this week.
A decade ago, Tesla was the electric car company that was leading the world forward into the battery powered future. Today, it has ceded its leadership role to BYD. Where Tesla has failed to introduce new mass market vehicles — it has two, the Model 3 and the Model Y — BYD has dozens.
The BYD E-Vali comes standard with an 11 kW AC charger built in. A 22 kW AC charger is available as an option. Maximum Level 3 fast charging power is said to be 188 kW, with BYD specifying a time of 30 minutes for charging from 10 to 80 per cent. Readers will notice this is somewhat higher charging power than the latest EVs from General Motors based on the Ultium platform are capable of. There is also a 3 kW vehicle to load system include that can power external devices and power tools.
BYD’s truck models, the ETM6 and ETH8, were also showcased at the event. The ETM6 is a 7.5 ton medium truck designed for urban logistics, while the ETH8 19 ton heavy truck is intended for urban cleaning and logistics. BYD stated that both models are built on BYD’s specialized electric truck platform which is capable of traveling up to 250 km on with a full load.
