Take a drive on any highway today and you will undoubtedly notice a new player attracting attention in the premium electric segment: the BYD Han EV. In a remarkably short time, this model has evolved from a newcomer to a serious candidate for companies, thanks to its mix of high-quality features, impressive performance, and an attractive price.

Why the BYD Han EV is Gaining Ground

The rise of the BYD Han EV is no coincidence. The vehicle fits perfectly into the current market dynamics, in which more and more Belgian companies are making the switch to a fully electric fleet. This shift is driven by ambitious sustainability goals and the exceptionally favorable tax rules for company cars.

A Matter of Perfect Timing

For fleet managers and business owners, the BYD Han EV comes at a crucial moment. The Belgian government actively encourages electrification with measures such as the 100% tax deductibility for electric vehicles and the associated charging costs. This makes the switch not only an ecological but, above all, a financially sound choice.

The Han EV confidently positions itself as a strong alternative to established luxury brands. It delivers a comparable level of comfort, technology, and performance, but often at a more competitive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This lowers the barrier for companies looking to green their fleet without compromising on style or driving pleasure.

It comes down to two important charging methods: AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current). Think of AC charging as the slow, stable workhorse you use at the office or at an employee's home. It is the perfect solution when a car is parked for several hours, such as overnight or during a full workday.

AC Charging: The Daily Standard

A standard 7 kW AC charger—the type we typically install at workplaces and people's homes—charges the 85.4 kWh The BYD Han EV battery charges comfortably in about 12-13 hours. This means that your drivers can plug in the car at the end of their workday and start the next morning with a fully charged battery, ready for any client visit or long drive.

For every company, this is the most cost-effective and practical approach. It places minimal strain on your building's electrical system, especially in combination with smart charging. For a deeper insight into how this works in practice, you can read our explanation about how load balancing for charging stations works.

DC Charging: The Fast Solution

By understanding these two charging methods, you can build a seamless and predictable charging strategy for your fleet. The majority of charging will take place at night via AC, while DC fast charging is available for exceptional situations, ensuring your operational activities never experience delays.

Calculate the True Cost of Ownership in Belgium (TCO)

When considering adding a new vehicle to your company fleet, the purchase price is only the beginning of the story. To truly get a grip on the financial impact of the BYD Han EV, you need to look at the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) look. It is this complete picture that reveals the true, long-term value for your company.

Here in Belgium, the government has introduced powerful incentives that make electric vehicles an incredibly smart choice for businesses. As a fully electric sedan, the BYD Han EV qualifies for 100% tax deductibility. And this applies not only to the car itself, but extends to all related costs, such as the installation of charging points and even the electricity used to power the vehicle. This immediately creates a huge financial advantage over any traditional petrol or diesel car.

A Concrete Cost Comparison

Let's attach concrete figures to this. Imagine an SME in Antwerp choosing a new car for their sales director. They are weighing a new BYD Han EV against a comparable petrol sedan. We will map out the estimated costs over five years, based on a typical annual mileage of 30,000 km.
