How many kilowatt-hours of electricity does it take to fully charge the BYD Yuan EV?
2 Answers
It takes 45 to 50 kilowatt-hours of electricity to fully charge the BYD Yuan EV. The battery capacity of the BYD Yuan EV is 42kWh, and there will be some loss during the charging process. Taking the 2019 BYD Yuan New Energy EV360 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4360mm, width 1785mm, height 1680mm, wheelbase 2535mm, and the body structure is a five-door five-seat SUV. The 2019 BYD Yuan New Energy EV360 is equipped with a single-speed transmission for electric vehicles, with a maximum power of 70kW and a maximum torque of 180Nm. The front suspension type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've been driving the BYD Yuan EV360 for two years now, and I always check the electricity meter when charging. A full charge typically takes about 40 to 42 kWh, since my car's battery capacity is 40.62 kWh, and there's some loss with home slow charging. The actual cost in Beijing is 0.5 yuan per kWh, so a full charge costs just 20 yuan—cheap and convenient. Charging usually takes around 7 hours; I plug it in at night, and it's fully charged by morning. For city driving, one charge can last over 300 km. In winter, the battery performance drops slightly, with about a 5% reduction in range, while it's more stable in summer. For new buyers, I recommend checking the model specifications—the Yuan EV535 has a larger 53 kWh battery, so it requires more charging. Driving an EV is quiet and smooth, with quick acceleration, less gasoline smell, more savings, and it's also better for the environment.
