Regarding people questioning durability:

BYD batteries are designed to last for 3000 to 5000 charge cycles

If a car has 400 km range on a charge and can handle 3000 cycles, that’s 1.2 million kilometers.
While we don’t know for sure, there has been nothing to indicate BYD should have compromised on that.

    BYD batteries are designed to last for 3000 to 5000 charge cycles

    A car that has 400 km range which is normal today, would than have a battery lifespan of 1.2 - 2.0 million km.
    Corrected for degradation 1.08 - 1.80 million km!!!

    EOL is usually considered to be 75-80% capacity. So you could probably use it for years beyond that.
