How long does it take to slow charge the Han EV?
2 Answers
The Han EV's home slow charging uses 220 volts and takes 9 hours; professional charging stations take 15 to 30 minutes. Electric vehicles refer to vehicles that use on-board power as their power source, drive wheels with electric motors, and meet all requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. Features of the BYD Han EV: Dimensions: The BYD Han is a dual-mode electric vehicle with body dimensions of: length 4980mm, width 1910mm, height 1495mm; Interior: Features a 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel and a 15.6-inch rotatable central control LCD screen; provides a total of 6 USB ports (4 in the front and 2 in the rear); Supports mobile phone NFC car key function: Unlock by simply bringing the phone close, no need to power on or connect to the internet. Advantages and disadvantages of pure electric vehicles: Environmental protection: Electric vehicles use power battery packs and electric motors for propulsion, producing no exhaust gases or tailpipe pollution, making them highly beneficial for environmental protection and air cleanliness, almost "zero pollution"; Low noise: Electric vehicles do not produce the noise typical of conventional cars, and the noise they generate is almost negligible; Economical: The operating cost of electric vehicles is low, about one-fifth that of gasoline cars. They also have high energy conversion efficiency and can recover energy during braking and downhill driving, improving energy utilization efficiency. Charging at night using the grid's cheap "off-peak electricity" helps balance the grid's peak and valley differences; Long charging time: Normal charging takes about 9 hours, while fast charging still requires 15 to 30 minutes; Incomplete supporting facilities: Currently, charging stations in China are as rare as phoenix feathers and hard to find. It will take a relatively long time to build the necessary supporting infrastructure.
I drive a Han EV myself, so I'm quite familiar with its slow charging time. It comes in several versions with different battery capacities, leading to varying charging durations. For example, the standard version has a 61.4 kWh battery, and using a 7 kW home charging pile, it takes about 9-10 hours to charge from empty to full. The long-range version with a 76.9 kWh battery requires around 12 hours. However, no one waits until the battery is completely drained before charging; usually starting from around 20%, it takes about 8-9 hours to reach full charge. Additionally, the ambient temperature significantly affects charging; in extremely cold winter conditions, it might take an extra hour or two. It's recommended to charge in a garage or use the scheduled charging feature to charge during off-peak hours when electricity rates are cheaper.
