If you did not know, BYD even their latest DM-i 5.0 is actually more similar to Honda's two motor hybrid system with two big and more powerful electric motors functioning as transmission rather than Toyota THS with two less powerful motors and planetary gear setup. For example Honda Accord PHEV. This vehicle achieves total driving range of 2100km (specifically 2132.7). EV range is rated at 106km CLTC. I am not sure how big of a fuel tank it is but assume it is smaller than the regular hybrid ones which have 12.8 gallons. Even so 2132.7km/1.6km/mi=1332.9375mi 1332.9375mi/12.8g=104.135742188 mpg This thing would actually be even more efficient than both the latest BYD 5.0 DM-i and Toyota PHEV offering AT LEAST in Chinese CLTC test cycles. These two systems lends itself well to efficient PHEV setup compared to THS (while not so much for regular hybrid) IF all the driving you do is relatively low speed (which the CLTC is) and the vehicle that has the powertrain is relatively small/light. This is because both BYD and Honda system allows the vehicle to operate as fully electric vehicle at lower speeds (say below 70km/h) whereby engine charges the battery which power the electric motor which turn the wheel rather than engine directly powering and turning the wheel. However at a higher speed, the electric motor's efficiency goes down while engine efficiency reaches the peak. Thus at higher speed (such as in EPA cycle) turning the wheels via electric motor becomes way less efficient and is actually better to just use the engine to power the wheels, which the Toyotas tend to do. However on both BYD and Honda's system because they do not have planetary gear, they only have one or two ratio for the engine so at higher speeds Toyota's hybrid system is more fuel efficient. Why do you think Toyota hybrid always have better EPA rating than Honda hybrids? Same characteristic also applies to larger vehicles as well. For example, 2WD BYD Xia MPV which have the latest BYD DM-i 5.0 achieves 6.5l/100km or 36.1869MPG in Chinese CLTC test cycles. However, Toyota Sienna which is longer, wider and taller and more powerful minivan sold primarily in the US market, even the AWD version gets 36MPG EPA. If you want to put Xia in the EPA cycle its MPG will drop considerably below Sienna eventhough it is a smaller vehicle precisely because of aforementioned reason. This is why DM-i 6.0 will adopt Toyota-like planetary gear setup to try to make the hybrid work better and more efficient in larger vehicle or higher speed.
@ronadchua3197 It blows people's minds when they hear that 1 in 5 iPhones have a BYD battery made in them. Or that 1 in 5 Apple iPads are fully manufactured by BYD out of their Vietnam facility.
great content mate

Looks very sedate for BYD. Waiting for a more sporty performance PHEV.
🔌🔋😎👍🏻

Made in china😂😂😂
You are laughing all your stuffs from your phone to laptops to pc ? 😂😂😂 great achievement 👍
