BYD Han

Quick answer: The 2025 BYD Han EV is a full-size RWD/AWD electric sedan priced from approximately €22,760 in Europe and RMB 179,800 (~$25,000) in China. It offers up to 521 km of WLTP-rated range, a 85.4 kWh Blade Battery, and DC fast charging at up to 120 kW peak.

What Is the BYD Han EV?

The BYD Han EV is BYD’s flagship electric sedan — a full-size, four-door car built on a dedicated EV platform. It comes in two drivetrain configurations: rear-wheel drive (Long Range) and all-wheel drive (Performance). Originally launched in 2020, the 2025 model introduced 800V high-voltage architecture on select trims, which is the first time that feature has appeared on the Han nameplate.

It sits above the BYD Seal in the brand’s sedan lineup, and below the higher-performance BYD Han L.

Battery, Range and Charging

A quick note on range claims: some sources quote figures above 700 km. Those are CLTC figures — a Chinese test cycle that produces higher numbers than WLTP. The 521 km WLTP figure is the relevant benchmark for real-world comparison.

The 120 kW DC ceiling is worth noting. At this price point, rivals like the Tesla Model 3 Long Range charge at up to 250 kW. That’s a genuine gap.

Price, Availability and Who It’s For

In Europe, the Han EV starts at €22,760 and tops out at €29,800. The Chinese domestic price starts at RMB 179,800 (roughly $25,000 USD).

Buyers in Nigeria, Kenya, or South Africa sourcing through grey-market import should budget approximately ₦28–38 million NGN or ZAR 580,000–780,000, depending on trim, duties, and port. Treat those as estimates — landed costs shift with exchange rates and import policy.

The Han EV fits long-distance commuters and small families who want a large cabin, real-world range above 400 km, and a lower price than equivalent European sedans.

Internal BYD competition: BYD Seal (smaller, cheaper), BYD Han L (higher performance, higher price) External rivals at similar price/segment: Tesla Model 3 Long Range, Hyundai IONIQ 6 AWD

How Does the BYD Han EV Compare to the Tesla Model 3 Long Range?

This is the closest spec-and-price matchup in the segment.

The Han EV costs significantly less in China and Europe. The Model 3 Long Range has a longer official WLTP range and charges faster. Which matters more depends on how far you drive and how often you use fast chargers.
