How Long Does It Take to Charge a BYD Song?

When charging the BYD Song, it takes a considerable amount of time to preheat the battery (to reach the set value) before entering the normal charging state. Using a household 220-volt power supply, a full charge takes approximately 9 hours at around 15 degrees. At a professional charging station, it takes between 15 minutes to half an hour. Here is more information about the BYD Song: 1. Exterior: The BYD Song features an X-shaped front grille, giving it a sporty appearance. The side profile incorporates hidden A/B/C pillars, creating a floating roof visual effect. 2. Powertrain: The BYD Song is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T engine and two electric motors, with one motor positioned at the front axle and the other at the rear axle, enabling all-wheel drive functionality. Additionally, the BYD Song has a pure electric range of 70km and can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds.

Hey, I've been driving the BYD Song DM-i for quite some time now, and the charging time mainly depends on how you charge it. Using a regular household power outlet for a slow charge overnight takes about 10 to 12 hours to fully charge, which is perfect for overnight parking. If you install a wall-mounted charging station with higher power, it usually takes 5 to 8 hours, saving time and hassle. When driving on highways or traveling, finding a DC fast-charging station can get you from empty to 80% in just 30 minutes, super convenient and doesn’t disrupt your travel plans. Remember to charge when the battery drops to 20%, don’t wait until it's too low. Charging can be slower in cold weather, so it's best to find a sheltered spot. For daily maintenance, check that the charging cable and port are clean and secure. Overall, charging isn’t too much trouble—just plan ahead, and driving an electric car saves you money on fuel.

From actual experience, the charging time of the BYD Song varies greatly depending on the charging method. A home slow charger takes about 10 hours, while a fast charging station reduces it to 4-7 hours. With a DC fast charger, you can reach 80% in just 30 minutes, which is very efficient for long-distance travel. Many factors affect charging: smaller battery capacities (like the DM-i version) charge faster, while lower charging power can prolong the process. I always ensure to match the charging equipment's power, such as choosing a station with 3kW or higher for better efficiency. In cold weather, preheating the battery can speed up charging. Also, avoid waiting until the battery is completely drained before charging to protect its lifespan. Following these practices ensures smooth and efficient charging.

I haven't been driving this car for long, and I find charging quite straightforward. Charging at home using a standard socket, a full charge overnight in seven to eight hours is no problem. At public charging stations using fast charging, you can replenish more than half the battery in just half an hour, saving time. Starting to charge when the battery is low is more effective; don't wait until it's completely empty. The charging process is automatically managed, so there's no need to worry about safety. Taking advantage of peak and off-peak electricity rates, charging at night saves money.
