Having driven the BYD Qin Plus DM-i for quite some time, its charging methods are diverse, flexible, and convenient. I installed a slow charging pile at home using a standard 220V power socket, charging overnight to basically fill up 80 kilometers of range. When out, I use the BYD app to locate nearby public charging piles, some supporting fast charging, replenishing half the battery in less than half an hour. It also comes with a portable charging cable for emergencies, like plugging into hotel sockets during business trips. My daily city commuting rarely requires refueling, saving money monthly with cheap and eco-friendly electricity. The dashboard clearly displays charging progress without noise, ensuring no disturbance to family rest. Regular maintenance checks on the battery help extend its lifespan. The overall design is thoughtful, with intelligent switching between hybrid modes, eliminating worries about long-distance travel.

As a car enthusiast, I'm quite familiar with its charging system. It supports two methods: AC slow charging and DC fast charging. Using a household socket or a 7kW charger for slow charging takes about 5-6 hours for a full charge; at public stations with DC fast charging, the high power allows reaching 80% in just 30 minutes. The battery management system is advanced, automatically regulating temperature to prevent overload. The charging port is standard and universal, with a simple connection—just plug in and hear a click to lock. I'm accustomed to this design, which offers low maintenance costs and a conversion efficiency of over 95%. Before long trips, pre-charging is convenient, and the smart navigation recommends charging points, making it worry-free when combined with hybrid fuel efficiency.

I just got my hands on the Qin Plus DM-i, and charging is actually quite simple. The car comes with a charging cable that you can plug into a wall socket at home, usually taking a few hours. You can also use charging stations at shopping malls, where a fast charge can top up some of the battery in just half an hour. With the app, you can easily locate nearby charging stations, check fees, and other details. Newbies don’t need to worry—just set up auto-shutdown for safety. Daily use is fuel-efficient and hassle-free; charging doesn’t disrupt your routine, and topping up while shopping is quite convenient.

More Q&A

Should the left turn signal be turned on when making a U-turn?

When making a U-turn, the left turn signal should be turned on. The following situations prohibit U-turns: U-turns are prohibited where there are "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs: If there is a sign prohibiting U-turns, then U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. The action of making a U-turn is an extension of a left turn, so if there is a sign prohibiting left turns at an intersection, U-turns are also prohibited there. U-turns are prohibited at crosswalks: U-turns are not allowed at crosswalks. If at an intersection where U-turns are permitted, you must cross the crosswalk before making a U-turn and should not make the turn on the crosswalk. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left turn lane: Even if you are in the leftmost lane, if there is no sign permitting left turns, U-turns are not allowed. U-turns are prohibited within the second left turn lane: When a vehicle is in the second left turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any signs indicating otherwise, U-turns are only permitted from the innermost left turn lane. U-turns are prohibited at solid yellow lines: U-turns are not allowed at solid yellow lines. Even if there is a sign permitting U-turns, you must wait for the green light and cross the stop line before making the turn. U-turns are prohibited on highways: Crossing the central divider to make a U-turn on a highway is illegal and will result in a fine and 12 demerit points. If you miss an exit on the highway, continue to the next exit and do not attempt an illegal U-turn.

Can I apply for ETC with a vehicle license?

Yes, you can apply for ETC with a vehicle license. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application Service of Electronic Toll Collection on Expressways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and photocopy of the vehicle license (the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp) are required. If applying on behalf of someone else, the original valid ID card of the agent is also needed. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, a debit or credit card from the corresponding bank is required. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a certain amount as a deposit when binding with a debit card. ETC Deduction Principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on the expressway. Through dedicated microwave short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with the bank, the purpose of paying tolls without stopping at the toll station is achieved. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs, reduces the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, newer, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also set a target in the main indicators of comprehensive transportation development during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period: "By 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the ETC usage rate for passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC for trucks and explore the deep integration of the ETC system with smart transportation development directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC applications. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front that has stopped, to prevent the ETC device of the front vehicle from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatically sensing and paying for the front vehicle. The recognized speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, leading to deduction failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the expressway service office for testing. If the loosening or detachment is not man-made, it only needs to be reactivated. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause deduction failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pass by cash or card. An overly thick windshield can cause poor sensing. Especially for vehicles that have had accidents and had their windshields replaced, or for those who have modified their windshields, extra attention is needed.
