The base option is the 200, which comes with a 22.4-kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack that is good for up to 210 km of range following the WLTC standard.

the remaining two variants are the 300 Plus and 300 Premium, both with a 35.84-kWh battery pack for up to 320 km of range. All variants of the Racco feature the same front electric motor rated at 64 PS (63 hp or 47 kW) and 160 Nm of torque, the latter being the limit as per kei car regulations.

Never thought I'd see China making kei cars for Japan.

They shouldn't...they should make Kei-Cars for everyone.

I'd love to have an electric nugget!

From a tech standpoint BYD is doing amazing work. Now let's hope they get their shit together and start producing cars without human rights violations like in their factories in Hungary and Brazil.
