BYD Dolphin charging FAQs
A simple 10–80% calculation at 7 kW gives about 6 hours. The actual session can take longer due to charging losses and vehicle behaviour.
The indicative maximum used here is 88 kW DC. It is a peak figure, not a rate maintained throughout a full charge.
This page lists Type 2 for AC and CCS2 for DC. Check your exact vehicle and charging location before travelling.
