Recently, a batch of BYD C7 electric buses arrived in Huangshan, starting their one-week trial operation.
During the trial operation, C7 was loaded with sand bags, traveling between Huangshan Scenic Spot and North Gate of Huangshan. In the face of many slopes and bends, C7 delivered an impressive performance despite the rainy weather.
When C7 started its journey at Huangshan Scenic Spot, its power volume read 94.8%. When it finished its journey at the North Gate of Huangshan, its power volume read 72.6%. For the 62.1 km journey, C7 only consumed 22.2% of the vehicle’s electricity thanks to its regeneration braking system.
It took C7 three hours to finish the round trip, which is about 118.4 km. Then, C7’s power volume dropped to 54.5%, indicating that for the round trip, the vehicle only consumed 40.3% of its power.
