The blocky BYD E-VALI van is here to take on the Transit
BYD moves into the light commercial vehicle game with a 335bhp all-electric van
A new player is about to enter the hotly contested light commercial vehicle game in Europe. Yep, BYD has just unveiled the E-VALI van – a rival for movers like the Ford E-Transit and Renault Master E-Tech.
Because of course, the E-VALI is powered by electricity. There’s a cobalt-free 80.64kWh battery that should provide a range of between 137 and 155 miles, and you’ll be able to spec a single-motor, rear-wheel drive variant with 201bhp or a twin-motor, all-wheel drive unit with 335bhp.
Worth noting that it’ll fast charge at an impressive 188kW too, so a 10 to 80 per cent top up takes around 30 minutes. Oh, and a heat pump is standard fit.
We’re told the E-VALI will come in two sizes, with the smaller of the two 5,995mm in length and the larger 6,995mm. You’ll get 13.9m³ of cargo volume in the former and 17.9m³ in the latter. Depending on size there will also be a max payload of 1,450kg.

BYD exceeds 1 million EV sales in 2024, after record-breaking August performance
China's electric vehicle powerhouse BYD has sailed past 1 million EV sales in 2024, following an exceptional August performance. This cements BYD's leading position in the EV market.
The company reported selling a staggering 373,082 new energy vehicles (NEVs) in August, including both plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and all-electric vehicles. This remarkable figure eclipses BYD's previous record of 342,383 NEVs set in July, marking the third consecutive month of record-breaking NEV sales.
Plug-in hybrids played a significant role in this growth, with 222,384 units sold in August, a substantial 73% increase compared to August 2023. This marks the sixth month in a row of record PHEV sales for BYD. As of August 2024, BYD has sold over 1.3 million PHEVs, a 43% increase from the approximately 886,000 sold in the same period last year.
While PHEVs are driving much of the growth, BYD's all-electric vehicle sales also remain strong. The company sold 148,470 EVs last month, a modest 2% increase year-over-year but a notable 15% increase from July. This growth was sufficient to propel BYD past the 1 million EV sales milestone for 2024.
