How to Open the Charging Port of BYD Yuan?
2 Answers
The charging port of this car is located at the front, and there are two methods to open it: manual and automatic. The electric switch is located on the driver's side door, with a charging port opening button below. Press the charging port cover switch to open the charging port cover on the front grille. Simultaneously press the opening switches on both sides of the front grille to release the charging port cover, then slide the cover upwards by hand to open it.
As a daily user of the BYD Yuan, I'd like to share how to open the charging port: It's usually done when the vehicle is unlocked. After starting the car or unlocking the doors, locate the charging button near the instrument panel inside the car—it's likely a small key with an electric vehicle icon. Press the button, and the charging port cover will pop open automatically; for older models, you might need to gently pry open the groove on the cover manually. Ensure the vehicle is parked on level ground and completely turned off during operation to avoid damaging the circuit by forcing it open while charging. Additionally, it's recommended to regularly clean the charging port to prevent dust buildup from affecting its seal, which helps extend its lifespan. After parking, promptly close the cover to prevent rainwater from seeping in. These simple steps make each charging session safe and efficient, saving a lot of hassle.
