- Per charge on a BYD E6 2021 can last you around 400 KM to 500KM depending on how you drive and the load you are carrying.
- How Long is the charging time?
- The question of time depends on the charging that you use and the location / charging provider
- Charging cost ranges from $0.50kw ++ to $0.20 kw if your car is 70kw battery then its 70 x 0.20kw = $14 ++ per full charge not forgetting the power conversion ratio which normally would result in some loss of power.
