The BYD e5 is a compact all-electric car manufactured by BYD, based on the gasoline-powered BYD Surui sedan, an internal combustion engine (ICE) car that had been introduced in 2012.[3]
Specifications
[edit]The e5 featured a 65Ah lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4), capable of delivering an all-electric range of 220 km (137 mi), and a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph).[3][4] Retail sales began in China in September 2015.[5] 1,426 units were delivered in the Chinese market in 2015,[6] and 15,639 in 2016.[7] 17,065 units were sold in China through December 2016.[6][7][needs update]

Exports
[edit]Government incentives for electric vehicles has led to the BYD e5 being exported to several Latin American countries for use as taxis, including Santiago, in Chile.[9] In Guayaquil, the capital city of Ecuador, it is currently the most popular model of electric vehicle used for taxis, but a lack of charging infrastructure has been a barrier to wider adoption.[10]
