BYD India offers the e6 MPV with a warranty of three years/125,000 km, a battery cell warranty of eight years/500,000 km, and a traction motor warranty of eight years/150,000 km. “We are excited to see the tremendous response across India for the All-New e6. BYD India will continue to play a pivotal role in EV adoption across India," said Shrirang Joshi, National Sales Head of Electric Passenger Vehicles Business of BYD India.
The battery-powered vehicle also recently entered the India Book of Records for the maximum distance covered of 2,203 kilometres in an electric car by completing the sustainability drive initiative. It was a six-day drive from Mumbai to Delhi which essentially meant to raise awareness for sustainability and EV adoption.
As India looks to invest 260 billion rupees in the next five years to provide subsidies for automakers, BYD India looks to make the most of the electric opportunity. The company will join hands with its partners and dealers to introduce more products here.
