BYD opens orders for Great Han flagship EV: over 1,000 km range, base price below $40,000

Chinese automaker BYD has officially started taking orders for its new flagship electric sedan, dubbed the Great Han. The model targets long-distance driving with a range exceeding 621 miles (1,000 km) on a single charge, according to the company. Its starting price is set under the $40,000 mark.

The Great Han arrives as BYD continues to expand its premium lineup, competing directly with established players in the electric sedan segment. The vehicle positions itself as a compelling option for buyers who prioritize range without stretching their budget too far.

BYD’s move comes amid intensifying competition in the global EV market, where range and affordability remain key battlegrounds. With this launch, the company underscores its commitment to delivering high-performance electric vehicles at accessible price points.

Orders are now open across BYD’s home market in China, with international availability likely to follow in subsequent phases. More details on deliveries and full specifications are expected shortly.
