Can the BYD Dolphin be charged at home?
2 Answers
BYD electric vehicles can be charged using standard household electricity. Specific steps: Turn on the vehicle power to check the battery level. Open the charging port cover. Insert the charger plug. Connect the other end to a 220v socket. Types of charging piles: Emergency charger: 1.7kw, the emergency charger is a 10A/220V charging cable that comes with the vehicle, which can be directly plugged into an air conditioning socket. Standard charging pile: 3kw, usually a 16A/220V charging pile provided with the vehicle purchase, which can be handled by general circuit breakers. Enhanced charging pile: 7kw, with the continuous increase in new vehicle battery capacity, many automakers have upgraded the standard 3kw charger to a 32A/220V 7kw charging pile, doubling the charging current, but attention should be paid to the size of the connected circuit breaker.
The BYD Dolphin can definitely be charged at home. I've been driving this car for a while, and home charging is super convenient. You can use a standard 220V household socket with the charging cable that comes with the car—just plug it in to start charging. I park in my garage at night, plug it in to charge overnight, and wake up to a full battery in the morning, with no impact on my daily commute. This is much more time- and cost-efficient than using public charging stations, with electricity costing just a few cents per kilowatt-hour, making the per-kilometer cost very low. The charging speed is a bit slower, taking about 7-10 hours from empty to full, but it fits well with daily driving routines. If possible, I recommend installing the wall-mounted charging station provided by BYD, which charges much faster—about 3 hours for a full charge. Overall, home charging makes EV life much easier and more relaxed, eliminating the hassle of waiting in line at public chargers.
