BYD ETP3 Lease Deals

More known for producing passenger cars like the Dolphin and the Seal, Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD ('Build Your Dreams') is now adding vans to its lineup.

A small, value-focused panel van designed for battery power from the get-go, the BYD ETP3 is roughly the same length as the more established Citroen Berlingo, the difference being that it's taller and narrower, not to mention more tailored for driving in urban environments with its nippy performance and agile size.

BYD has also created its own 'Blade' battery, which isn’t only 50% more compact than rival units on the market, but is also ‘ultra safe’ thanks to the way in which it dissipates heat.

FAQs about the BYD ETP3

How long does the charging take?

It takes only 30 minutes to charge your BYD ETP3 from 20% to 100%. In other words, the same time that it makes to make and enjoy a cup of coffee.

What's the range?

Featuring a battery capacity of 44.9kWh, the ETP3's official range is up to 170 miles, depending on weather and driving style of course. You might find that the actual real-world range is often less than that.

Does the vehicle have regenerative braking system?

Yes, when braking or lifting the accelerator (and battery power is less than 90%), the kinetic energy is converted into electricity for recharging the battery. This can reduce brake pad abrasion, improve driving range and save energy.
