minus-squareLiGuangMing1981@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoBYD’s hybrids have quite large batteries (30kWh or more) and electric ranges of >100km, so calling them ‘tiny’ is not correct. Tiny would be something like a Prius, which does not qualify for a green NEV license plate in China as its battery-only range is not large enough.
