How many kilowatt-hours of electricity are needed to fully charge the BYD e5?
2 Answers
It takes 8-10 hours to fully charge the BYD e5 once. Calculating with a charger power of 2kw, which consumes 2 kilowatt-hours per hour, approximately 16-20 kilowatt-hours of electricity are needed for 8-10 hours. Below is an introduction to the BYD e5: 1. BYD e5: The BYD E5 is an electric vehicle under the BYD brand, with a comprehensive range of 305km under standard driving conditions. 2. Vehicle Features: The BYD e5 can be considered the pure electric version of the Surui. The front face features blue trim to indicate its special identity as a pure electric model, with the charging port located behind the grille emblem. The dimensions are 4680/1765/1500mm in length/width/height, with a wheelbase of 2660mm, only 10mm longer than the Surui. 3. Interior: The design largely follows that of the Surui, with a predominantly dark interior accented by silver decorations. Compared to the Surui EV showcased at previous auto shows, the 'running light' gear lever has been removed, replaced by an electronic gear shifter with a one-touch P mode. Since the dimensions and structure remain unchanged, the driving and passenger space is identical to that of the Surui.
I've been driving a BYD e5 for several years. A full charge typically requires about 47.5 kWh, which refers to the battery capacity. There are losses during the actual charging process. For example, with home slow charging, the efficiency is about 90%, so the input power might reach around 52 kWh, but this depends on the charging equipment and environment. Using a 220V home charger, a full charge takes about 8 hours and costs less than 30 yuan. After a full charge, the actual range is over 400 kilometers, making it suitable for city commuting or short trips. In winter or summer when using the air conditioning more, the range can drop to 350 kilometers. However, this car is easy to maintain and has no major issues. I recommend developing good habits: charge during off-peak hours to save money, regularly check battery health, and try not to let the battery drop below 20% before charging, as this can extend the battery life to over ten years.
