What is the optimal remaining battery level for charging the BYD Han EV?
2 Answers
BYD Han EV is best charged when the remaining battery level is around 30%. Charging Time: Car owners should be aware of the correct charging time. Pure electric vehicles take longer to replenish energy. Taking the JAC iEV6E Sport model as an example, if using a home charging station, it takes nearly 8 hours to fully charge the battery. Using a fast charging station takes about 40 minutes to reach 80% charge. It's advisable to develop a habit of frequent charging and not wait until the battery level is too low. Avoid Overcharging and Over-discharging the Battery: Both overcharging and over-discharging can reduce the battery's lifespan. Any product that uses a battery should avoid "over-discharging," and pure electric vehicles are no exception. Although battery packs are designed with protection systems, frequently driving the car until the "red light" comes on will definitely affect the battery pack's lifespan. Additionally, charging should be stopped immediately once the battery is fully charged.
I drive my BYD Han EV to work every day and find it most convenient to charge when the remaining battery is around 30%. This avoids initiating fast charging under high load and helps me skip the queues at charging stations during urban peak hours. My routine is to plug the car into a slow charger when I get home from work, charging from 30% to 80% before stopping. This protects the battery without disrupting my schedule. If the battery level drops below 20%, the system issues a warning, but I never wait until that point to prevent unexpected traffic jams from draining the battery completely. This method is simple and efficient, giving me peace of mind while driving and significantly extending the battery's lifespan—far more cost-effective than frequently pushing the battery to low levels.
