Does the BYD Qin Plus DM-i come with a charging station?
2 Answers
The premium version of the Qin Plus DM-i with a 120 km range comes with a free charging station. The BYD Qin Plus DM-i can be charged in the following ways: Using the included 16A 3.3KW home charging station: When purchasing the car, some 4S stores may also provide a 16A 3.3KW home charging station. The actual charging power of the Qin Plus DM-i ranges between 2.6KW and 3.2KW. Purchasing and using a 16A 3.3KW portable charger: The Prundo brand offers a 16A 3.3KW portable charger. Simply plug it into a 220V 16A home air conditioning socket for charging, with the same charging speed as a home charging station, which is twice as fast as the 1.5KW portable charger included with the car.
When I bought the Qin Plus DM-i, the 4S store gave me an original charging pile, but I heard that this depends on the car purchase policy. Generally, the flagship and high-end versions come with it, while the basic version may require an additional fee. The included pile is a 7kW AC slow charging pile with a 30-meter basic installation package, and any extra cables will be at your own expense. The installation process went smoothly—the technician came to survey the meter location, but you need to handle the property permit documents yourself. I recommend writing the charging pile into the contract appendix when ordering the car to avoid disputes upon delivery. Now, BYD charging piles can schedule charging via a mobile app, which is especially cost-effective using off-peak electricity rates, saving about 70-80 yuan per month on electricity bills.
