Field Notes on a New-Gen EREV: BYD Song Plus DM-i 110KM

If you're shopping for an ev car that behaves like an electric SUV in the city but shrugs off range anxiety on longer drives, the BYD Song Plus DM‑i 110KM is, frankly, right on trend. I’ve driven similar EREV/PHEV setups, and the quiet-start plus painless road‑trip combo is hard to give up once you’ve lived with it. Also, origin matters for fleet buyers: this model ships from Room 1017, Qicheng Building, No.210, ZhongHuanan Street, Qiaoxi District, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province.

Market pulse (and why EREV isn’t a fad)

Global electrification keeps accelerating, but—honestly—charging access isn’t uniform. That’s where EREV/DM‑i tech shines: daily electric commuting, gasoline-backed freedom on holidays. Industry data points to rapid EV share growth with nuanced regional charging gaps; smart buyers hedge with flexible drivetrains. In short, the ev car that does both is getting popular, fast [1].

Product snapshot and key specs

Materials, process, and validation

• LFP prismatic cells; high‑strength steel body-in-white; aluminum subframes where applicable.
• Methods: automated pack assembly, BMS calibration, thermal interface material application, end‑of‑line dyno checks.
• Testing standards: UN 38.3 transport battery safety [3]; UNECE R100 electric safety [2]; IEC 62660‑2 cell performance [5]; ingress protection typically targeting IP67 for pack enclosures (per IEC 60529); GB/T battery system tests are commonly referenced in China.
• Service life: LFP chemistry often achieves ≈2,000–3,000 cycles; 8–12 years of typical mixed use is plausible, depending on climate and charging habits.

Vendor landscape (quick take)

Comparisons are approximate; trims and local regulations can change specs quickly.

Use cases, customization, and feedback

• Daily urban commuting on electricity; intercity weekends without planning chargers—this ev car is built for mixed reality.
• Fleet and ride‑hailing: predictable TCO when drivers plug in nightly; gasoline engine covers peak days.
• Customization available: exterior colors, wheel designs, interior trims; telematics packs for fleets; charging accessories (AC wallbox options; DC compatibility varies).
• Customer notes: many say cabin NVH is pleasantly low in EV mode; it seems that the transition to hybrid drive is smoother than expected.

Mini case study (Hebei, fleet pilot)

A regional ride‑hailing operator in Hebei introduced 30 units of this ev car. Over six months, internal logs indicated around 25–30% lower energy cost versus their outgoing compact SUVs, assuming nightly AC charging and occasional hybrid use in peak hours. Drivers cited reduced refueling stops and quieter shifts. Not a lab trial—real roads, mixed weather—so your mileage will vary, literally.

Compliance, safety, and test data anchors

• Battery transport tested per UN 38.3; vehicle electric safety guided by UNECE R100; functional safety aligned with ISO 26262 V‑model lifecycle [2][3][4].
• Cell/module performance evaluation referencing IEC 62660‑2; typical pack ingress aims for IP67 sealing where specified [5].
• Real‑world EV‑only energy use for compact SUVs often falls around 14–18 kWh/100 km in mild conditions; cold weather can increase that figure. Plan charging accordingly.

Bottom line: if you want an electric‑first drive without the charging anxiety tax, this ev car is a sensible, future‑proof bet—with enough engineering rigor behind the badge to keep procurement teams comfortable.
