Recommended equipment for a BYD
Based on the most common BYD configuration, Type 2 plug and three-phase charging. Every model page refines it by version.
At home, on a reinforced socket
The simplest way to charge every night: a Green'up socket fitted by an electrician, much safer than a household socket, with the 16 A cable of your BYD.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your BYD accepts three-phase power: this 32 A Type 2 cable uses its 11 kW on 11 and 22 kW chargers.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your BYD charges in single phase, up to 11 kW: this Type 2 cable is all it needs on any charger, in town or at home.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your BYD has a Type 1 inlet: this Type 2 / Type 1 cable connects it to public chargers and to wallboxes with a Type 2 socket.
A wallbox at home
A 22 kW three-phase wallbox uses the 11 kW of your BYD and will keep up with your next car.
A wallbox at home
A 7.4 kW single-phase wallbox, the most your BYD accepts at home, with smart control to charge at off-peak rates.
Good to know about charging a BYD
All BYD models have a Type 2 plug. Most electric models charge at 11 kW three-phase, but a few entry-level versions are limited to 7 kW single-phase.
- Seal U, Seal, Sealion 7, Han, Seagull and ATTO 2: 11 kW three-phase. A Seal U 71.8 kWh goes from 20 to 80% in 3h45 at 11 kW, and in 5h34 on a 7.4 kW wallbox.
- ATTO 3 and Dolphin: 11 kW, except some ATTO 3 60.4 kWh and the Dolphin 44.9 kWh 95 hp, at 7 kW single-phase.
- Tang and M6: 7 kW single-phase.
- DM-i plug-in hybrids: 3.3 kW for the ATTO 2, Dolphin G and Sealion 5 DM-i; 11 kW three-phase for the Seal U DM-i.
At 3.3 kW, a DM-i hybrid charges at its maximum power on a Green'up reinforced socket. For an electric model, choose an 11 kW wallbox if your meter is three-phase, otherwise a 7.4 kW wallbox.
Frequently asked questions
The plug is shown on every BYD model page: Type 2, the European standard, on nearly every recent model, Type 1 on a few models from before 2018. The cable and the wallbox follow that plug, then the power the version accepts.
The Type 2 cable and the wallbox fit every BYD model with a Type 2 plug. What changes is the accepted power, from 3.7 to 22 kW depending on the version, and so the charging time: pick your model above for exact times and the recommended equipment.
With a Green'up reinforced socket fitted by an electrician and the matching 16 A cable: 3.7 kW, much safer than a household socket, and enough for most daily trips. Every model page gives the kilometres recovered overnight.
