The figures, translated
It runs the electric motor, with front-wheel drive. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
At 33.6 kWh/100 km, a 300 km day uses roughly 101 kWh. A full charge is rated for 196 km; plan for less in the cold. Expect about $5.04 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$1,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Size and space
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the e6 answers the big questions. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Drive the e6 on your commute before you commit to it.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $50.40 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $5.04 in electricity. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Talk to a person
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2012 BYD e6 from us first.
