2 Answers
Here are the power ratings of the BYD e2 charging station: 1. Portable charger: Rated power 1.7kW, actual charging approximately 1kW. 2. Wall-mounted AC charging station: Rated power 7kW, actual charging approximately 6kW. 3. Public fast DC charging station: Maximum measured power approximately 51kW. Below is extended information about BYD: 1. Brand history: BYD Company Limited was established in 1995, starting with a team of just over 20 people. By 2003, it had grown to become the world's second-largest rechargeable battery manufacturer and established BYD Auto in the same year. As a battery specialist venturing into automobile manufacturing, BYD initially played the role of an 'outsider.' Leveraging its 'independent intellectual property rights' and the acquisition of Qinchuan Auto, BYD gained a first-mover advantage over other newcomers. 2. Brand introduction: BYD Auto adheres to a development path of independent R&D, production, and branding, committed to creating truly affordable and high-quality vehicles for the people. The product designs incorporate advanced international trends while aligning with Chinese cultural aesthetics.
I drive a BYD e2, and the charging speed mainly depends on the charger you use. With commercial fast chargers, the official claim is up to 60kW, but in reality, it's around 40-50kW, taking about 45 minutes to go from 30% to 80%. Home-installed chargers are more stable; the standard 7kW AC charger is the most cost-effective, fully charging overnight. For emergency use with the portable charger plugged into a 220V socket, it's only about 1.5kW, which takes forever. Remember to check the charger's indicator light—steady green means it's properly charged.
