How many hours does the Tang DM charging pile take to charge?
3 Answers
Tang DM charging pile takes 10 to 20 hours to charge. Functions of the charging pile: The function of the charging pile is similar to that of a fuel dispenser in a gas station. It can be fixed on the ground or walls, installed in public buildings, residential community parking lots, or charging stations, and can charge various models of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels. Types of charging piles: Charging piles can be divided into DC charging piles, AC charging piles, and AC/DC integrated charging piles. Charging piles generally provide two charging methods: regular charging and fast charging. Connection methods of charging piles: The input end of the new energy electric vehicle charging pile is directly connected to the AC power grid, and the output end is equipped with a charging plug for charging electric vehicles. New energy electric vehicle charging piles generally provide two charging methods: regular charging and fast charging.
I've been using the BYD Tang DM for two years now, with a 7kW charging station installed at home. The charging time is quite consistent. Usually, I plug it in after work, and it takes about 3 hours to charge from empty to full, just enough time for dinner or a movie. Sometimes, in cold weather, it can extend to about 3.5 hours because low temperatures slow down the charging speed. I recommend setting up scheduled charging for daily use, choosing the off-peak hours at night to save money and be eco-friendly. If in a hurry, occasionally using a public fast-charging station with a 40kW charger can get you to 80% in half an hour, but don't do it too often to avoid battery damage. Overall, home charging is convenient and worry-free, and planning ahead doesn't affect travel plans.
Charging time depends on the power level. The Tang DM has a battery capacity of around 20 kWh. Using a standard 7 kW home charger, a full charge takes about 3 hours; switching to a 20 kW charger reduces this to 1 hour. At highway service stations with 40 kW fast chargers, reaching 80% in half an hour is easy. However, higher power levels cause more noticeable battery heating, so it's best to avoid charging at noon in summer. Based on practical experience, I recommend using slow charging for daily use to protect battery lifespan, and checking the charger head for looseness weekly to ensure a stable connection. Charging efficiency also depends on battery health—new cars are generally on time, while older vehicles may require more maintenance time.
