How many kilowatt-hours does the BYD Yuan EV charge?
2 Answers
BYD Yuan EV360 has a battery capacity of 42KWH (42 kilowatt-hours), but a full charge requires approximately 50 kilowatt-hours due to certain energy losses during the charging process. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Charging methods for BYD Yuan EV: It can be charged via household single-phase AC charging, wall-mounted charging box single-phase AC charging, or charging pile single-phase AC charging. It is advisable to charge the battery when the power level drops to the warning red bar, as timely charging benefits the battery; try to avoid charging only after the battery is completely depleted. 2. Charging precautions: At home, you can charge using the charging device provided with the vehicle or an optional wall-mounted charging box. When using the provided charging device, a dedicated charging socket should be used to prevent damage to the circuit and tripping of the protection due to high-power charging, which could affect the normal use of other devices. The optional wall-mounted charging box has a specification of 7kW and needs to be directly connected to the power grid with reliable grounding. Starting from a remaining battery level of 15% to a full charge of 100% takes approximately 8 hours. Using a public AC charging pile to charge the vehicle takes about 5 hours.
The battery capacity of the BYD Yuan EV varies depending on the specific model. For example, the standard version of the Yuan UP has a battery capacity of around 32 kWh. In theory, it requires approximately 32 kWh to fully charge, but due to charging losses, especially during fast charging where efficiency decreases, it may actually take 33 to 35 kWh to fill up. I mostly use the car for urban commuting and typically charge it from 20% to 100% using a home charger, consuming about 30 kWh, which easily gives me a range of 300 kilometers. It’s truly cost-effective—electricity costs just a few cents per kWh, so a full charge costs less than 10 yuan, much cheaper than a gasoline car. Driving an EV also reduces pollution. I always check the battery status during charging to ensure the plug is secure and not loose. Overall, daily charging is convenient and economical, and I just need to make sure the battery is sufficiently charged before long trips.
