BYD Sealion 7 Premium RWD charging time by charger power
How long the BYD Sealion 7 Premium RWD takes to charge at different charger power levels, capped by its own onboard limits.
| Charger | Power | Charge | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard outlet | 2.2 kW | 0% → 100% | 37 hours 30 minutes |
| Home wallbox | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 11 hours 47 minutes |
| Public AC | 11 kW | 0% → 100% | 7 hours 30 minutes |
| DC fast | 150 kW | 10% → 80% | 32 minutes |
AC rows assume constant charging power and a 0% to 100% charge. Real times vary with the onboard charger, temperature, and the charger you use.
The DC fast row (10% to 80%) is anchored to a measured charging time for this model, so it reflects the real charging curve. Times still vary with temperature and conditions.
Charging speed
Based on measured data, the BYD Sealion 7 Premium RWD charges 10% → 80% on DC fast charging in about 32 minutes, peaking at around 150 kW. ev-DB car/3070 battery+range match (AU spec).
The BYD Sealion 7 Premium RWD is estimated to charge from 20% to 80% on public DC fast charging in about 28 minutes (ultra-fast DC).

Battery care
This car uses an LFP battery, which tolerates routine charging to 100%. Charging full now and then is fine and even helps the car read its charge level accurately.
Savings vs a petrol car
This charge adds about 246 km of range for $29.70. Driving the same distance on petrol would cost:
| Engine size | Petrol cost | You save |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 1000 cc | $26.36 | -$3.34 |
| 1000–1500 cc | $31.16 | $1.46 |
| 1500–2000 cc | $38.35 | $8.65 |
| 2000–2500 cc | $45.54 | $15.84 |
| > 2500 cc | $55.13 | $25.43 |
Estimated from typical combined fuel use by engine size and Regular unleaded (ULP 91) at $1.95/L. Charging at home saves the most; actual figures vary with driving and conditions.
