Overview

The BYD Han is a luxury from BYD, one of China's leading EV manufacturers. BYD is the world's largest EV manufacturer and battery producer, known for its Blade Battery technology that offers exceptional safety and longevity.

With a range of 521 km km on the WLTP cycle, the Han offers excellent range for Canadian conditions. In winter temperatures around -20°C (common in cities like Montreal, Ottawa, and Winnipeg), expect approximately 391 km of real-world range — a 25% reduction that is standard across all EVs.

At an estimated $72,000 CAD, the Han positions itself as a strong value proposition in the Canadian market.Note that Chinese EVs are not eligible for the federal EVAP rebate. Provincial incentives vary — Quebec's Roulez Vert offers $2,000 for eligible models, while Manitoba explicitly excludes China-built EVs from its rebate program.
