Although they are built on relatively new technology, there are many things pointing towards BYD's reliability. For one, each BYD Blade battery undergoes rigorous testing in a range of conditions to make sure it is both safe and efficient.
Designed using over 29 years of experience in the battery industry and premium materials, the BYD Blade is both stronger and safer. If that wasn't enough, all BYD cars come with an eight-year (or 125,000-mile) warranty to give you added peace of mind.
BYD is owned by founders Wang Chuanfu and Lv Xiangyang, along with Berkshire Hathaway - a conglomerate run by Warren Buffet.
BYD stands for Build Your Dreams. It was founded in 1995 specialising in the production of electric batteries for a range of industries.
This depends on the model you choose. The BYD Seal U DM-i plug-in hybrid offers the highest range with up to 671 miles (WLTP) combined range.
