What charging methods are available for the BYD Tang?
2 Answers
The BYD Tang features a dual-mode charging system, allowing both plug-in charging via external power sources or charging stations, as well as range-extending charging through its onboard 2.0T gasoline engine while driving. Taking the 2021 BYD Tang as an example, this mid-size SUV measures 4870mm in length, 1940mm in width, and 1720mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2820mm and a fuel tank capacity of 68 liters. The 2021 BYD Tang is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine delivering 192PS maximum horsepower, 141kW peak power, and 320Nm maximum torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the BYD Tang for a year now, and the charging options are quite flexible. I mainly use the portable charger that came with the car at home, just plugging it into a 220V socket. A full charge takes about 8-10 hours, so I usually plug it in at night and drive off in the morning. In pure electric mode, it can run about 80 kilometers, which is both fuel-efficient and eco-friendly. When I'm out, I use public charging stations, such as fast-charging piles at shopping malls or highway service areas, which can charge up to 80% in half an hour, making it perfect for long trips. Remember to keep the charging environment dry and well-ventilated. The BYD app also allows real-time monitoring of the charging progress, which is super convenient. If your budget allows, installing a dedicated charging pile would be even faster.
