The BYD e2 is a compact electric hatchback built around a 47.09 kWh battery, with a CLTC-rated range of 405 km when new. It has long been one of BYD's most accessible EV models, and on the used export market it remains one of the lowest-cost entry points into BYD ownership for buyers prioritizing purchase price over range or size.

The Unit Currently Available

This used e2 is a 2021 model with 52,300 km on the odometer, 87% battery state of health, and two prior owners. It is a budget-positioned city hatchback with higher mileage and more ownership turnover than the other used units we currently list, and its 87% SoH figure is reflected directly in the asking price. A full diagnostic report is available on request for buyers who want to verify battery condition before purchase.

Who the e2 Fits Best

Buyers who choose a used e2 over other used BYD models are typically prioritizing low upfront and landed cost above all else — for a first EV in a new market, a fleet of low-cost city runabouts, or a test case before committing to a larger import order. The e2's small battery pack and compact footprint also mean lower charging costs and easier city parking, which matters in dense urban markets where the vehicle is likely to spend most of its life.

What 87% SoH Means for Real-World Range

An 87% SoH reading means the battery retains roughly 87% of its original usable capacity relative to the as-new 405 km CLTC rating. In practice, that points to a meaningfully lower but still usable real-world range for city driving, which is the e2's primary use case anyway. Buyers planning highway-heavy use should weigh this against a lower-mileage, higher-SoH alternative; buyers planning mostly urban use will find the e2's range at this SoH level generally sufficient for daily commuting and short trips.

Estimating Landed Cost

Total landed cost is calculated as: FOB price + $1,450 fixed freight + insurance (1.1% of FOB) + import duty (destination rate x CIF) + VAT (destination rate x (CIF + duty)) + $650 fixed clearance. The e2 typically has the lowest FOB price in our used lineup, which means the percentage-based components — insurance, duty, and VAT — are also at their lowest in absolute dollar terms, making this one of the more predictable units to budget for.

Due Diligence Checklist Before You Buy

  • Request the diagnostic report confirming the 87% SoH figure
  • Ask for service records covering both ownership periods
  • Request current photos of the battery, tires, and interior wear
  • Confirm the asking price already reflects the battery health disclosed
  • Clarify what freight, insurance, and clearance costs are included

For buyers building a fleet of low-cost city EVs or entering the used-BYD market for the first time, the e2 remains one of the simplest units to evaluate: the price is already set to match its condition, and the diagnostic report lets you confirm that before committing.
