The BYD e6 2019 is an older electric car with an 80 kWh battery. It is not on the new-car list now, so anyone looking at one is likely buying used. This guide covers what we can show: insurance, the COE rule and how road tax works for it.
The insurance prices are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. Your own price will depend on your details and the car's age.
Not sold new any more
The new-car list has no entry for the e6 on sale now. So there is no list price, power figure or body type to give here. On a used car, the asking price and the COE years left set what you pay.
Our quote form prices the e6 2019 80 kWh, the version most insurers quote. The figures below are for it.
The COE rule for an electric car
For an electric car, the COE category depends on motor power. The price page says an e6 needs a Category A COE if its motor is 110kW (147bhp) or less, and Category B if it is more powerful.
In the October 2026, 2nd round, Category A closed at S$132,004 and Category B at S$131,901. On a used car the COE is already paid. These figures matter if you renew it later. The COE page has the latest results.
Road tax
Road tax for an electric car follows motor power. The facts here do not include the e6's motor power, so there is no road tax figure to show. The road tax page works it out once you know the motor's rating. You can usually find it in the car's registration details.
Whatever the base figure, a surcharge applies once a car is more than 10 years old:
- Over 10 years: +10%
- Over 11 years: +20%
- Over 12 years: +30%
- Over 13 years: +40%
- Over 14 years: +50%
What insurance costs
The BYD e6 2019 price page prices these details:
- Car: e6 2019 80 kWh, registered 3 years ago, private use, comprehensive cover
- Driver: aged 40, married, office job, 10 years' driving
- Record: 50% NCD, no claims
- Repairs: authorised workshop, no options
5 insurers price it, across seven plans. The lowest premium is S$1,330.26 a year. The highest insurer's lowest plan is S$1,760.47, S$430.21 more, or 32% on top. All include 9% GST.
All seven plans sit between those two figures. Several are marked as estimates, and two pairs share the same price.
Twelve insurers have no online price for this model. Some do not quote electric cars online. Others may not list an older model like this one. Still, five insurers give a usable spread to compare.
Excess differences
Five plans carry a S$600 excess. One, marked as an estimate, carries S$0. The dearest carries S$2,500. So the plan with the highest premium also asks the most of you at claim time. Read both figures before you compare.
How the price shifts
The page shows the lowest price after one change:
- No NCD (0%): S$2,600.52, which is S$1,270.26 more, with 6 insurers
- 20% NCD: S$2,081.69, S$751.43 more, with 6 insurers
- Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$2,720.55, S$1,390.29 more, with 3 insurers
- Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$1,453.70, S$123.44 more
- Car registered this year: S$1,370.27, S$40.01 more, with 6 insurers
- Car 8 years old: S$1,158.96, S$171.30 less, with 6 insurers
The younger driver costs most, at 105% above the standard case. Only 3 insurers price that driver.
The 8-year-old line is the one to note for a used e6. It brings the lowest price down, and 6 insurers price it. A 2019 car is already several years old, so this case may sit closer to your own than the 3-year-old standard. These are lowest prices only.
Next to other electric cars
For the same driver and car age, the price page compares six electric cars:
- BMW iX1: S$1,907.27
- Kia EV6: S$1,038.46
- Hyundai Ioniq 5: S$954.21
- Tesla Model Y: S$939.71
- Tesla Model 3: S$913.62
- Aion V: S$856.84
Their average lowest price is S$1,101.69. The e6 costs 21% more, and 5 of the 6 are cheaper to insure. Only the BMW iX1 costs more. The BYD car insurance page lists other BYD models.
Costs that depend on you and the car
- Charging: home or public charging, your tariff and your mileage.
- Parking: season parking where you live and work.
- ERP: your routes and the times you travel.
- Battery and servicing: on an older electric car, ask about the battery's condition and any warranty left. Ask for service records.
- Depreciation: on a used car, it rests on the price you pay and the COE years left.
