How to Charge the BYD Tang DM Properly?
2 Answers
Charging Methods: In addition to using a home charging station, you can also charge with a charging gun. Below are the relevant details: 1. Two types of charging power for the charging gun: The charging power is 1.6W (220V, 8A) and 3.5kW (220V, 16A) respectively. Although charging with a charging gun is slower, it offers advantages such as plug-and-play convenience, portability, and low cost. 2. Home charging station: There are two specifications for home charging stations, with charging powers of 3.5kW (220V, 16A) and 7kW (220V, 32A) respectively. Under normal temperature conditions, if the charging station's power is 3.5kW, it can charge approximately 3.5 kWh per hour. Similarly, if the charging station's power is 7kW, it can charge around 7 kWh per hour.
As a long-time owner of the BYD Tang DM for over two years, I've gained plenty of experience with charging. The best method is using a home charging pile - BYD's official charging box is safe and reliable, conveniently installed in your home garage or yard. With 220V slow charging, it takes about 5-6 hours to fully charge overnight, and the electricity cost is much cheaper than refueling. For daily commuting, I make it a habit to plug in when I get home from work and unplug the next morning, which helps prolong battery lifespan. I've also tried public charging stations - fast charging can reach 80% in half an hour, good for emergencies, but avoid frequent use as high temperatures harm the battery. Always check for loose plugs when charging, and avoid outdoor charging during rain. These habits save me thousands in fuel costs annually while keeping my car trouble-free.
