Charge time

On a powerful fast charger the BYD Dolphin charges from 10 to 80 percent in about 32 minutes, adding roughly 238 km. The last 20 percent charges deliberately slowly, so on a trip it pays to stop at 80.

Range

With a usable battery of 60.5 kWh and motorway-ish consumption around 178 Wh/km, the BYD Dolphin realistically covers about 340 km on a charge. At 130 km/h, in the cold or with a roof box the figure drops, so plan for about 80 percent of it on the motorway.

Plugs and charging

The BYD Dolphin uses CCS (Combo 2) for fast charging and Type 2 for ordinary AC, like virtually every new EV in Europe. So it fits the vast majority of public chargers without adapters.
