Out of the 3 million units sold by BYD last year, around 1.7 million were PHEVs.
BYD recently announced that it was considering a new midsize electric SUV for India that could compete with the Tata Curvv.ev and the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV. As per the latest reports, the carmaker is also considering plug-in hybrids for India.
The report states that BYD is currently conducting a feasibility study for plug-in hybrids. Depending on the demand, the Chinese automaker could introduce its PHEV models in the next 2 years.
Rajeev Chauhan, head of the Electric Passenger Vehicles business at BYD India, said, “The Indian market has been buzzing about hybrid vehicles for the past year and a half. If the acceptance level continues, we plan to introduce plug-in hybrid cars from our global portfolio in India and we could see it being sold in India in the next two years.”
“Plug-in hybrid is our strength; we are constantly evaluating the option. We want to study for another 6-8 months. If the momentum for hybrids continue, we will offer a plug-in hybrid model at an affordable price,” he added.
Although known for its electric vehicles, a significant portion of BYD’s global sales come from plug-in hybrids. Out of the 3 million units sold last year, around 1.7 million were PHEVs.
Currently, BYD offers the Atto 3 electric SUV and the Seal sedan in India. The carmaker is now gearing up to launch the eMax 7 electric MPV next month. It will replace the e6 MPV.
