The 2012 BYD e6: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2012 BYD e6 for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2012 BYD e6, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the e6
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.
Engine and fuel
Its electric motor drives through a 1-speed automatic. 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.
It uses 33.6 kWh per 100 km, so 300 km takes about 101 kWh of charge. A full charge is rated for 196 km; plan for less in the cold. In energy, every 100 km costs about $5.04 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$1,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Inside and out
