Does the BYD DM-i Need Charging?
2 Answers
Yes, it needs charging. This super hybrid system offers excellent acceleration advantages when fully charged and delivers impressive fuel economy even in a low battery state. The engine utilizes split cooling technology, ensuring precise temperature control. Below are the body dimensions of the BYD Han plug-in hybrid: Model body length 4960 mm, body width 1910 mm, body height 1495 mm, wheelbase 2920 mm, front track 1640 mm, rear track 1640 mm. The vehicle is a four-door, five-seater sedan with a fuel tank capacity of 48 liters.
As a BYD DM-i owner, I find charging quite convenient. I usually plug it into my home charging station overnight, and the next day I can drive 50-60 km in pure electric mode without using a drop of fuel, which saves me a lot of money—monthly fuel costs are significantly reduced. Even if I occasionally forget to charge, the car can automatically rely on the engine to generate electricity, ensuring I can still drive long distances without getting stranded. However, to be honest, if you never charge it, the fuel consumption will be higher, and the power response won’t be as smooth as after charging. I recommend developing a charging habit—it not only extends battery life but also reduces urban exhaust pollution. After driving for over a year, I’ve noticed that regular charging makes the car more reliable. Charging time and costs are low, and installing a home charging station is a worthwhile one-time investment.
