How to charge a BYD Seal (how long, cost & how to open charging point)?

The BYD Seal 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 nine hours, while that time extends to 12 hours on the Premium and Performance variants. The other method is a standard AC wall socket, which charges at a standard rate of 240V. BYD says this will take 17 hours on the Dynamic or 23 hours on the Premium and Performance. That said, public charging stations are by far the quickest.
