How far can it really take you on one charge?
196 km
EPA range (122 mi)
98 km
effective there-and-back radius
The 2012 BYD e6 is rated at 196 km (122 mi) on the EPA test cycle. That's a laboratory figure — in mixed real-world driving expect roughly 186 km, less in winter or at sustained highway speed. On a road-network range map that's rarely a neat circle — terrain, highways and coastlines shape where one charge can actually take you. For a trip out and back home without charging, plan around an effective radius of about 98 km.
