Features

Cost & Time

Calculate accurate charging costs and estimated durations based on charger power.

Range Estimator

See real-world range added based on your specific model's efficiency (Wh/mi).

All BYD Models

Pre-configured data for Atto 3, Dolphin, Seal, Han, and Tang EV models.

DC Fast Charging

Accounts for DC charging curves to give more realistic time estimates above 80%.

About BYD Charging Calculator

The BYD Charging Calculator is a comprehensive tool designed for BYD owners to estimate their charging needs accurately. It factors in battery capacities (like the 60.48 kWh Blade Battery), charger efficiencies, and real-world driving conditions. Whether you're using a standard home Level 2 charger or a high-power DC fast charger, this tool helps you plan your trips and manage your EV charging costs effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Blade Battery is BYD's proprietary LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery technology. Its distinct 'blade' shape allows for higher energy density in a safer, more thermal-stable package compared to traditional NCM batteries.
Yes. Unlike many other EVs, BYD vehicles use LFP chemistry, which is very resilient. BYD recommends charging to 100% at least once a week to help the Battery Management System (BMS) calibrate and provide accurate range estimates.
The BYD Atto 3 (Extended Range) supports DC fast charging up to 88kW. This allows it to charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 45 minutes under optimal conditions.
To protect the battery's longevity, all EVs (including BYDs) reduce the charging speed significantly as the battery reaches high states of charge (usually above 80%). This is often called the 'charging curve'.
Yes, our calculator includes a 10-15% efficiency loss for AC charging (Level 1/2) and a 5% loss for DC charging, reflecting the energy lost as heat during the conversion process from the grid.
Absolutely! The calculator includes specific battery and range data for the BYD Seal AWD (82.5kWh) as well as the RWD variants.
Wh/mi stands for Watt-hours per mile. It measures how much energy your car uses to travel one mile. Adjusting this allows you to get more accurate range estimates based on your actual driving style or weather conditions.
At a typical US rate of $0.15/kWh, fully charging a 60kWh BYD Atto 3 from empty would cost approximately $10 (including efficiency losses).
