How Long Does It Take to Charge the BYD Han?

Charging for 10 minutes provides a range of 135km, and charging from 30% to 80% takes only 25 minutes. Introduction to Automotive Batteries: The battery is an essential part of a car and can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. Since the battery uses lead-calcium alloy for the grid frame, the amount of water decomposed during charging is minimal, and the evaporation rate is also low. Additionally, the sealed structure of the casing releases very little sulfuric acid gas. Compared to traditional batteries, it has advantages such as not requiring any liquid addition, easy connection to terminals, and long power storage duration. Automotive Battery Lifespan: The designed lifespan of a battery is 27 months. Generally, family cars are more economical, and many new car batteries last 3-4 years. However, after the first replacement, they typically need to be replaced every 2 years or so. Taxis are more demanding; single-shift taxis can last just over a year, while double-shift taxis usually last around 8-10 months.
When it comes to the charging time of the BYD Han, I'm the most qualified to speak, as I commute with it daily. There are mainly two scenarios: Using a fast-charging station is super quick—it takes only 30 to 40 minutes to charge from low battery to 80%, perfect for when you're in a hurry, like charging in a shopping mall parking lot while browsing your phone. However, home slow charging is much slower. I use the charging station installed at home, plugging it in at night, and it usually takes 6 to 8 hours to fully charge, ready to go the next morning. The charging time also depends on the battery condition—slower in winter and faster in summer, which is quite normal. I've also found that it's better not to let the battery drop too low before charging, as it's good for the battery and extends its lifespan. For daily use, it's completely fine as long as you plan your trips well.
