The Han EV (" electric vehicle ") is the all-electric variant of the BYD Han, and all its models are designed with a 76.9 kWh (277 MJ) battery pack , which claims to be rapid-chargeable from 30-80% in 25 minutes. The Han EV utilizes a new proprietary lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery design which BYD dubbed the " Blade Battery ", claiming to take up less space than a conventional LFP battery of the same energy capacity . BYD also emphasized the Blade Battery's safety against thermal runaway even in case of damage, and showed the results of a test in which the battery was pierced with a nail while a raw chicken egg was placed on top of it. The battery's temperature remained low even after it was pierced, and the egg remained uncooked. ^[3]

The base model Han EV, called the "Extended Range" model, is rear-wheel drive with a reported all-electric range (NEDC) of 605 km (376 mi). It is powered by a 163 kW (219 hp) electric motor that can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in 7.9 seconds. There are two versions of this base model: the basic "Luxury" model costs RMB 229,800 ( USD $32,800), while the more featured "Majestic" model costs RMB 255,800 (USD 36,500) with extra advanced driver-assistance systems , blind spot detection , better stereo systems and other comfort options.

The high-performance "Flagship" model is four-wheel drive with an additional 200 kW (270 hp) front motor, bringing the total power output to 363 kW (487 hp), and reportedly can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in just 3.9 seconds. ^[4] It is rated at a NEDC all-electric range of 550 km (340 mi) with more added features than the "Majestic" model, and costs RMB 279,500 ($40,000). ^[5]

There is also a modified version of Han EV, called the BYD e9 , with front grille and a reported NEDC all-electric range of 506 km (314 mi), aimed primarily at the peer-to-peer ridesharing market.
