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

    So their normal design practices allow a car to be fully charged every single day 7 days a week for about 10 years!
    A car that has 400 km range which is normal today, would than have a battery lifespan of 1.2 - 2.0 million km.

    And lifespan is normally considered to be until the battery has less than 80% capacity. So you could probably use it for years beyond that.
