BYD Atto 2 charging cost & time
| Scenario | Energy | Time | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public DC 20% → 80% | 27.1 kWh | 34 minutes | RM 37.88 |
| Public DC 0% → 100% | 45.1 kWh | 1 hours 27 minutes | RM 63.14 |
| At home (AC) 20% → 80% | 27.1 kWh | 3 hours 52 minutes | RM 12.02 |
BYD Atto 2 charging time by charger power
How long the BYD Atto 2 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% | 20 hours 30 minutes |
| Home wallbox | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 6 hours 27 minutes |
| Public AC | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 6 hours 27 minutes |
| DC fast | 65 kW | 10% → 80% | 39 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 Atto 2 charges 10% → 80% on DC fast charging in about 39 minutes, peaking at around 65 kW. ~51 kW average over 10→80% per EV Database (canonical).
The BYD Atto 2 is estimated to charge from 20% to 80% on public DC fast charging in about 34 minutes (standard 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 159 km of range for RM 37.88. Driving the same distance on petrol would cost:
| Engine size | Petrol cost | You save |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 1000 cc | RM 17.42 | -RM 20.47 |
| 1000–1500 cc | RM 20.58 | -RM 17.30 |
| 1500–2000 cc | RM 25.33 | -RM 12.55 |
| 2000–2500 cc | RM 30.08 | -RM 7.80 |
| > 2500 cc | RM 36.41 | -RM 1.47 |
Estimated from typical combined fuel use by engine size and RON95 (BUDI95) at RM 1.99/L. Charging at home saves the most; actual figures vary with driving and conditions.
