Does the BYD Han DM need to be charged every day?
2 Answers
BYD Han DM does not need to be charged every day. The specific charging interval depends on the daily mileage. Charging time for BYD Han DM: If using a 220V household power supply, it takes about 9 hours to fully charge, consuming approximately 15 kWh. At a professional charging station, it takes 15 to 30 minutes. According to preliminary data, charging the BYD Han for 10 minutes can provide a range of 135 km, and charging from 30% to 80% takes only 25 minutes. Pure electric range of BYD Han DM: Based on the product specifications of BYD Han and Tang models, the Han DM-i has a maximum pure electric range of 242 km, with a battery capacity of 37.6 kWh. The Tang DM-i, on the other hand, has a maximum pure electric range of 252 km, with a blade battery capacity of 45.6 kWh. Exterior design of BYD Han: The BYD Han features a 4-door sedan body design, with a front face adopting the Dragon-Face family design language. The LED headlights on both sides shine brightly when turned on, and the center of the front face bears the Chinese character 'Han' as its logo.
I've been driving the BYD Han DM for a while now, and there's absolutely no need to charge it every day—that would be such a hassle. Its biggest advantage is flexibility, thanks to its plug-in hybrid design: for short city trips, it runs on electricity, saving money and being eco-friendly, while for long distances, the gasoline engine kicks in as a backup, automatically starting when the battery runs low. My daily commute is about 30 kilometers round trip, so charging twice a week is enough, and the electricity cost is significantly cheaper than fuel. On weekends, when I drive farther for outings, a full tank can easily take me over 500 kilometers. It really depends on your routine—if you’re only driving around the city daily, frequent charging is more economical, but don’t panic if you don’t have a charger at hand. The manufacturer recommends adjusting charging frequency based on your habits to extend battery life. Remember, hybrid cars are designed to reduce charging anxiety. I’ve seen plenty of people go months without charging, relying solely on gasoline without issues, though fuel consumption is a bit higher. In short, the Han DM isn’t a pure EV—you decide the charging interval based on your mood, with complete freedom.
