Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)
NEV includes all types of electric vehicles, from battery-powered fully electric vehicles (BEVs) to plug-in hybrid (PHEVs) cars. At BYD, we don’t just build NEVs — we engineer the technologies that power them, making us a global leader in performance, safety, and innovation. Some of the most common types of NEVs include:
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)
BYD PHEVs combine electric and petrol power through our super DM technology, prioritizing electric drive for daily commutes and seamlessly switching to hybrid mode for longer journeys. With impressive fuel efficiency, fast charging, and extended EV range, BYD PHEVs offer the best of both worlds.
BENEFITS OF NEVS
NEVs are rapidly becoming the top choice for drivers worldwide and for good reason.
NEVs produce little to no tailpipe emissions, helping reduce air pollution and combat climate change.
Electricity is generally cheaper than petrol and diesel, and NEVs often require less maintenance due to fewer moving parts.
NEVs deliver unmatched performance with instant power, while offering a smoother, quieter, and more comfortable drive than traditional fuel-based cars.
With growing infrastructure and advances in battery and tech, NEVs are well-suited for the future of mobility, making them a safer and more comfortable choice of vehicle.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEV AND FUEL-POWERED CARS?
The primary difference lies in how they’re powered: NEVs run on electricity, while traditional vehicles rely on petrol or diesel. But there are other factors that set the vehicles apart from each other.
The total cost of operating a NEV is one-third of the cost of an internal combustion vehicle. You can calculate cost savings using our NEV savings calculator here.
