BYD launches the new low-cost e7 EV in China, starting at under $15,000

  • BYD, a Chinese automaker, officially launched the midsize all-electric sedan e7 in China in May 2025, targeting shared mobility and business markets.
  • This launch aligns with BYD's approach of broadening its portfolio of plug-in hybrids and battery electric models following its 2022 decision to halt production of traditional combustion engine vehicles.
  • The e7 measures 4,780 mm long with a 2,820 mm wheelbase, offers two Blade lithium iron phosphate battery capacities, and supports DC fast charging.
  • Priced from 103,800 yuan with a limited-time 5,000 yuan discount, the e7 costs roughly half the price of a base Tesla Model 3 in China.
  • BYD's e7 launch strengthens its competitive position in China's EV market and signals focus on affordable midsize sedans for fleet operators and potential young buyers.
