How many kilowatt-hours of electricity does it take to fully charge a BYD Qin?

[VonPaige]

It takes more than 10 kilowatt-hours to fully charge a BYD Qin, as the BYD Qin is equipped with a 13 kWh iron battery. It can be charged using a household 220V power supply, and the full charging time is approximately 5 hours. The pure electric mode allows for a driving range of 70 kilometers. During driving, the power management system also performs brake energy recovery. Official data shows that 2.5-3 kWh can be recovered per 100 kilometers, and the recovered energy can extend the driving range by about 15 kilometers. The battery cells are provided with lifetime free maintenance by BYD, and the company also recycles them after disposal. The upgraded BYD Qin 100 battery pack has been changed from lithium iron phosphate to ternary lithium, increasing the maximum pure electric driving range from 70 km to 100 km. BYD Qin Hybrid Version: It is equipped with a self-developed 1.5T inline four-cylinder engine, codenamed BYD476ZQA. This self-developed engine has a maximum power of 154 horsepower and a maximum torque of 240 Nm. The electric motor has a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. Combined, the entire hybrid system can output a total of 295 horsepower and 479 Nm of torque.

I've been driving the BYD Qin DM-i for almost two years now. A full charge takes about 18 kWh, depending on charging efficiency and battery condition. When using a 220V slow charger at home, it takes five to six hours to fully charge, costing around 15 RMB in electricity, which gives me over 100 km of pure electric range - extremely cost-effective. Compared to my previous gasoline car where I spent five to six hundred RMB monthly on fuel, this plug-in hybrid saves me a lot, plus I can freely switch between electric and hybrid modes, making long trips no problem at all. Regarding charging habits, I prefer charging at night when off-peak electricity rates are half price; charging takes slightly longer in cold weather, but the impact is minimal. Overall, I find this car offers great value for money with simple maintenance, and having a home charger installed makes things much more convenient. It's also nice to chat with neighbors about money-saving experiences if they're interested.

As an automotive technology enthusiast, I have an in-depth understanding of the charging details of the BYD Qin. A full charge typically requires 15 to 18 kWh, specifically calculated based on models like the DM-i with its 18.3 kWh battery. However, the actual charging amount may reach 20 kWh due to approximately 10% charging efficiency loss. Fast charging can achieve 80% in 30 minutes, while slow charging is gentler on the battery but more time-consuming. Factors affecting charging include temperature (efficiency drops in cold weather), charger power, and battery health. I recommend regularly checking the battery status and using an app to monitor the charging curve to optimize habits. The car is well-designed with a reliable charging system, and pairing it with a home charging station is convenient and cost-effective. Sharing these small details with fellow car enthusiasts enhances the fun of discussing cars.

Caring for the environment, I feel deeply about driving my BYD Qin. A full charge consumes about 15 kWh of electricity, significantly reducing CO2 emissions compared to gasoline cars. A gasoline car consumes 6 liters per 100 kilometers, emitting much more carbon; the Qin uses only 10 kWh to drive 100 kilometers, equivalent to two days of household electricity, making it both eco-friendly and energy-efficient. Charging with renewable energy sources further lowers carbon emissions. I recommend choosing green grid solutions for daily charging. Small actions add up to improve the environment, and every charge is a good habit of reducing the burden on our planet.
