How Long Does It Take to Fully Charge the BYD Han with Slow Charging?

[VonCarter]

It takes 9 hours to fully charge the BYD Han with slow charging, consuming approximately 15 kWh. Charging the BYD Han from 30% to 80% only requires 25 minutes. Battery Equipped in BYD Han: The BYD Han is equipped with a new lithium iron phosphate Blade Battery, which significantly improves the discharge rate, has a lifespan of 8 years or 1.2 million kilometers, reduces costs by 30%, and increases the volumetric energy density by 50%. The space utilization rate of the Blade Battery is about 60%, compared to about 40% for traditional battery packs. Analysis of BYD Han Models: Based on range, the BYD Han is divided into two versions. The long-range version has an NEDC range of 605 kilometers, with a motor that delivers a maximum output power of 163 kW and a maximum torque of 330 N·m. The other version is the all-wheel-drive high-performance model with an NEDC range of 550 kilometers. It retains the same front motor and adds a rear motor with a maximum power of 200 kW and a maximum torque of 350 N·m, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.9 seconds. Both versions are equipped with a 76.9 kWh lithium iron phosphate Blade Battery.

I've been using the BYD Han EV for over a year now. The slow charging time mainly depends on the battery status and the type of charging equipment. The standard battery capacity is 76.9 kWh. If using a regular home charging station, the power is usually around 7 kW. Theoretically, it takes about 11 hours to charge from 0% to 100%, but in practice, I rarely start charging from a low battery level—I usually plug it in when there's about 30% left. In winter, when temperatures are low, charging speed slows down a bit, possibly taking 12-13 hours, while it's faster in summer. I typically charge after 10 PM when electricity rates are cheaper, and the car is fully charged by the next morning. Although slow charging takes longer, it’s better for battery longevity compared to fast charging, which can degrade battery health more easily. I recommend choosing a home charging station compatible with 7 kW when installing one, and pairing it with a mobile app to monitor charging progress—it’s both convenient and cost-effective.

As an EV enthusiast, I must say calculating the slow charging time for the BYD Han isn't difficult, but it's actually influenced by multiple factors. The basic formula is battery capacity divided by charging power. For example, with a 76.9 kWh battery, home slow charging options include 3.7 kW and 7.4 kW power levels. Using a 7.4 kW charger with approximately 85% charging efficiency would take around 10-11 hours. From my tests, charging from 20% to full takes about 8 hours, but using a lower 3.7 kW charger doubles the time to over 16 hours. Voltage fluctuations during charging or low temperatures can extend the duration, so it's best to ensure the charging environment stays above 15°C. The advantage of slow charging is that it doesn't harm the battery, making it ideal for daily commuter vehicles. I recommend setting up scheduled charging to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates for cost savings and avoiding charging during extreme weather conditions.

For families like ours who frequently drive to pick up kids, the slow charging time of BYD Han is very practical. My car is the EV version with a 76.9 kWh battery. Using a 7 kW home charging station, I usually charge overnight for about 10 hours to reach full capacity, which never affects next day's usage. In cold winter conditions, charging may take 1-2 hours longer, so I've added an insulation cover to my parking spot. Slow charging is both safe and economical, costing less than 100 yuan per month - much cheaper than fast charging. If the battery remains in good health, charging time stays relatively stable. I recommend moms to choose charging stations with automatic power-off function for added safety.
