BYD Reacts to Electric Car Grant With Servicing Offer
BYD has responded to the announcement of the UK government’s Electric Car Grant with a special offer of free servicing on selected models across the range.
The manufacturer will offer five years of free servicing on new Dolphin, Dolphin Surf and Atto 3 models until the end of 2025, as well as ‘Approved Used BYD vehicles purchased through the official BYD UK retail network’.
As well as the free servicing offer, BYD has increased its power battery warranty to eight years and 155,342 miles/200,000km across the full range of cars, including those that are already on the road.
“We understand that customers are looking for more than just savings upfront – they want lasting value and assurance,” Steve Beattie, Sales and Marketing Director at BYD UK.
“While we may not currently be part of the Electric Car Grant, we didn’t want to wait to show our commitment. This five-year servicing offer is our way of giving back to drivers who choose BYD and supporting them well beyond the showroom.
“That includes the Approved Used market – which plays a vital role in accelerating EV adoption and strengthening the value of our vehicles over time.”
BYD is not widely expected to be eligible for the Electric Car Grant but has ‘formally applied to be included’, with a decision still to be taken.
