When used for commuting, the BYD Han needs to be charged after about 10 days of driving. Frequent usage may require charging based on actual conditions. Exterior of the Han EV: The Han EV features a newly designed "Dragon Face" styling. Unlike previous models, it adopts a closed front grille design paired with a full-width dynamic lighting system, maintaining a low-drag and high-performance design. Interior of the Han EV: In terms of interior design and materials, the BYD Han exudes luxury throughout. It comes equipped with sporty red Nappa leather seats, a 15.6-inch central LCD screen, a foldable rear center armrest with an approximately 8-inch rear control panel, seat ventilation and heating, and more importantly, all models offer the same level of active and passive safety equipment regardless of configuration.

As a long-term EV user, I've gained some insights about the BYD Han charging time: Charging speed mainly depends on the type of charger you use. Fast charging with public DC chargers can get you to 80% in under 20 minutes, super convenient for long trips; slow charging using a home 220V socket typically takes 6 to 8 hours for a full charge, perfect for plugging in overnight. The battery capacity is around 70kWh, and starting charge level affects speed – charging from 10% is fastest. Temperature also plays a key role, charging is quicker in summer and might slow down in winter. I recommend pre-warming the car before charging to save time. Additionally, charging apps are extremely helpful for estimating time and avoiding peak hour waste. In summary, choose your method based on lifestyle: fast charging when in a hurry, slow charging to save money – just arrange flexibly.

After two years of driving the BYD Han, my experience is that charging time is quite flexible. Home charging for 6 hours overnight gives a full battery with minimal hassle, hardly affecting daily routines. For out-of-town trips, using fast chargers typically takes about 30 minutes to reach 80%, enough for over 300 kilometers. The fastest I've experienced was at a highway station, where 25 minutes charged half the battery—faster than refueling a gas car. However, charging speeds vary with charger power; I prefer selecting 100kW or above chargers for quicker charging. Safety-wise, it's important to avoid battery overheating and refrain from using air conditioning while charging. Setting a charging limit to 80% is recommended to extend battery life. Tailoring charging to personal habits makes it not a burden but a way to make travel planning more efficient.

The charging time for the BYD Han varies under two conditions: approximately 40 minutes to reach 80% in fast charging mode, and about 6 hours for a full charge with slow charging. Fast charging is suitable for urgent use—I find it quick and convenient at public stations; slow charging is more reliable when done at home. Battery health is also crucial, as regular maintenance can make charging faster and more stable. Starting the charge when the battery level is low improves efficiency. Remember to keep the charging port clean to avoid delays. Short charging times are an advantage but should be adapted to fit personal schedules.
