Honest Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

BYD E6 2016-2018The E5 is lighter and more efficient for city use, but the E6 has a larger battery and longer range for intercity routes
Nissan Leaf 2016The E5 has faster charging and better driving assist features, but the Leaf has more widespread service support in Europe
Tesla Model 3 Standard RangeThe E5 is cheaper to buy and maintain, but lacks over-the-air updates and long-distance fast charging network access
Use Guide

Using It Well

  • Use slow charging (11h) for daily use to extend battery lifespan
  • Avoid frequent fast charging (0.5h) unless necessary to prevent thermal stress
  • Check the tire pressure monthly, especially in hot climates where pressure rises quickly
