2 Answers
It takes 9 kilowatt-hours to fully charge the BYD Dolphin. Advantages of the BYD Dolphin: Space performance: The BYD Dolphin is positioned as an A-segment car with body dimensions of 4070 (4125)/1770/1570 mm and a wheelbase of 2700 mm, achieving a wheelbase-to-length ratio of up to 66.3%. The actual riding experience surpasses the data, as the A-segment Dolphin offers an A+-segment wheelbase and B-segment rear legroom. Energy efficiency: As the first model of BYD's e-platform 3.0, the Dolphin is equipped with the world's first deeply integrated eight-in-one electric powertrain, which improves the system's comprehensive efficiency to 89%. Driving performance: The drive motor delivers a maximum power of 70 kW and a maximum torque of 180 Nm, outperforming its peers in terms of specifications. BYD Dolphin: The BYD Dolphin is the first model in the Ocean series, the first model to use BYD's new logo, and the first model built on BYD's e-platform 3.0. The Dolphin boasts an ultra-long wheelbase of 2700 mm, with interior space comparable to a B-segment car.
I've driven the BYD Dolphin a few times, and it uses a 44.9 kWh battery pack. In theory, a full charge requires about 44.9 kWh of electricity. Considering charging losses, such as charger efficiency or weather conditions, the actual consumption might be around 48 kWh. I usually charge at home with a slow charger, and a 220V household socket takes about 10 to 12 hours to fully charge. If I'm in a hurry and use a fast charging station, I can get most of the charge done in half an hour. Battery health is also crucial. A new battery is fine, but after a few years, the capacity might drop to around 40 kWh, so regular maintenance checks are recommended. In terms of charging costs, electricity here costs 1 yuan per kWh, so a full charge is less than 50 yuan, which is much cheaper than refueling. Overall, the charging capacity is fixed, but actual usage depends on daily habits and charging conditions.
