How to charge BYD Dolphin (how long & cost)?

Question

Accepted Answer

The BYD Dolphin can be charged according to two different methods at home, the fastest being through a 7kW AC wall unit. These can cost anywhere from $800 to $2000, with additional charges depending on your energy provider and the state you live in. On average in Australia, at home costs range between 21 to 36 cents per kW, while there are no additional charges if your charger is hooked up to a renewable source such as solar. The overall charging time on the Dynamic variant is six hours, while that time extends to eight hours on the Premium variant. The other method is a standard AC wall socket, which charges at a standard rate of 240V. BYD says this will take 23 hours on the Dynamic or 30 hours on the Premium. The quickest method overall is at a public charging point. A DC fast charger with 50kW capacity will see a 0-80 per cent charge in 45 minutes on the Dynamic variant, rising to 60 minutes on the Premium variant. A DC fast charger with 100kW+ capacity will see that time drop to 36 minutes on both variants. Costs depend greatly depending on location, whether it is a peak period or not, and what the charger’s capacity is, though you should never pay more than $40 for a full charge.
