What is the charging power of the BYD Tang?
2 Answers
BYD Tang adopts a new ternary lithium battery with total battery capacities of 19.9/23.9 (kWh). The AC slow charging power is 3.3KW, while fast charging supports 20-60KW—the higher the power, the faster the charging. Charging methods: At home, you can charge using the portable charging device provided with the vehicle or an optional wall-mounted charging box. When using the portable charging device, a dedicated charging socket should be used to avoid line damage or protection tripping caused by high-power charging, which could affect the normal operation of other devices. Precautions: The optional wall-mounted charging box has a specification of 7kW and requires direct connection to the power grid along with reliable grounding. Charging from 15% to 100% takes approximately 8 hours. Using public AC charging stations reduces this time to about 5 hours.
As an automotive enthusiast, I've been following the charging power of the BYD Tang for years. The DC fast charging power of the Tang DM plug-in hybrid version is typically around 18kW, which means it takes about half an hour to charge from zero to 80%—quite efficient. However, the actual speed is also affected by battery temperature: it's faster in summer when cooling is better, while preheating is needed in winter. Compared to the EV pure electric version's 80kW or more, the DM version has lower power but is still sufficient. High power can reduce charging anxiety, especially during long trips, making it crucial to choose a good charging station. For daily use, it's recommended to use slow charging more often to maintain battery health, as higher power isn't always better.
