The BYD e6 (New) is listed at 71.7 kWh with a claimed 520 km. Those two numbers drive everything below, which is arithmetic from BYD’s published specification rather than a road test — we do not test vehicles.
| Claimed range | 520 km (BYD figure) |
| Realistic range | about 374–416 km |
| Units for a full charge | about 78.9 (71.7 kWh plus charging loss) |
| Cost of a full charge | about ₹631 at ₹8 per unit |
| Running cost | about ₹1.60 per km |
At a realistic 374–416 km, the BYD e6 (New) is a genuine long-distance vehicle. Most intercity runs from a metro become a drive rather than a plan, which is the point at which range stops being the thing you shop on.
At a claimed 60 minutes on a DC fast charger, the BYD e6 (New) is slow by current standards — there are cars at similar money doing the same job in half the time. If you drive highways regularly, that is the specification to shop against.
Over 1,000 km in a month the BYD e6 (New) costs roughly ₹1597 in electricity at ₹8 a unit, against about ₹5000 of petrol for an equivalent car. That is ₹3403 a month and ₹40841 a year. Take the price difference you are actually quoted for the BYD e6 (New) against the petrol car you would otherwise buy, divide by ₹40841, and you have your own break-even in years — which is a far more useful number than any per-kilometre figure.
Filling the BYD e6 (New)’s 71.7 kWh pack from empty draws about 78.9 units at the meter once charging losses are counted — roughly 24 hours on the 3.3 kW portable charger supplied with most cars, or about 11 hours on a 7.2 kW wallbox. On the BYD e6 (New) that gap is the practical argument for a wallbox — and all of it assumes you can plug in where you park.
Realistic range applies the 72–80% band set out in how we estimate real-world range, and ₹8 a unit is an assumption rather than your tariff — the calculator takes your own.
