How many kilowatt-hours does it take to fully charge the BYD Tang?

BYD Tang 100 adopts a new ternary lithium battery with a total capacity of 23kWh. This capacity indicates that the battery consumes 23kWh of electricity from being completely discharged to fully charged. Of course, in reality, the battery cannot be completely discharged, and there are charging losses. When the battery is discharged to 15% (low voltage warning) and then fully charged, the actual power consumption is 21kWh. Relevant information about BYD Tang is introduced as follows: In terms of appearance: BYD Tang comes standard with LED daytime running lights, HID xenon headlights, dual exhaust pipes, 18-inch two-tone aluminum alloy wheels, roof luggage rack, and smart induction welcome lights. Among them, the luxury and premium models are not equipped with threshold pedals with welcome lights but are equipped with headlight height adjustment. In terms of dimensions: The length, width, and height of Tang are 4815/1855/1720mm, the wheelbase is 2720mm, the minimum ground clearance is 180mm, and the curb weight is 2220kg.

The BYD Tang EV pure electric version requires approximately 100 kWh to fully charge, which is calculated based on the 108.8 kWh battery capacity of the Tang EV flagship model. I'm discussing this from a technical enthusiast's perspective. In actual charging scenarios, energy loss may range between 5%-10%, meaning if you charge from empty to full, you might consume 105-110 kWh, but the battery actually stores 100 kWh. This depends on the charging method—for example, home slow charging is more efficient with lower losses, saving on electricity costs, while fast charging, though quicker, results in higher losses and may increase total energy consumption. Temperature also plays a role, with charging efficiency being slightly better in summer. I often advise friends to use smart charging stations set to an 80% limit to protect the battery, which is sufficient for daily commutes and helps extend battery life. Regularly checking the insulation aging of charging equipment is also crucial.

As a Tang owner, I consume about 90-100 kWh for each full charge at home, costing less than 100 yuan, which is very cost-effective. Charging habits are crucial—I typically charge once a week, starting from 20% and stopping at 90%, avoiding complete depletion or full charge to reduce energy loss by around 5 kWh. Compared to spending thousands on fuel for my previous gasoline car, I save a lot now. Charging time is also a factor: home slow charging takes about 10 hours, so I plug in at night and wake up to a full battery. If in a hurry, fast charging stations can reach 80% in half an hour, though with slightly higher energy consumption. It’s best to develop a habit of checking if the plug is secure, as a loose connection may interrupt charging or reduce efficiency.

From a cost-saving perspective, the BYD Tang consumes approximately 98-102 kWh when fully charged. Assuming an electricity cost of 0.8 yuan per kWh, the total comes to around 80 yuan, which is significantly cheaper than gasoline. During periods of high fuel prices, it's easy to save 500 yuan per month. I usually pay attention to charging techniques, such as avoiding peak electricity price periods—charging overnight is cheaper. Using the scheduled charging function to start during off-peak hours can reduce costs by 10%. Battery health management also affects electricity consumption; avoiding frequent full charges can extend battery life and reduce replacement costs in the long run. Overall, choosing a pure electric model is economically advantageous.
