BYD Dolphin Premium Extended charging time by charger power
How long the BYD Dolphin Premium Extended 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% | 27 hours 29 minutes |
| Home wallbox | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 8 hours 38 minutes |
| Public AC | 11 kW | 0% → 100% | 5 hours 30 minutes |
| DC fast | 80 kW | 10% → 80% | 41 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 Dolphin Premium Extended charges 10% → 80% on DC fast charging in about 41 minutes, peaking at around 80 kW. EV Database Dolphin 60.4 kWh; ~80 kW DC peak (MY), LFP Blade curve.
The BYD Dolphin Premium Extended is estimated to charge from 20% to 80% on public DC fast charging in about 36 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 218 km of range for RM 50.80. Driving the same distance on petrol would cost:
| Engine size | Petrol cost | You save |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 1000 cc | RM 23.83 | -RM 26.97 |
| 1000–1500 cc | RM 28.17 | -RM 22.63 |
| 1500–2000 cc | RM 34.67 | -RM 16.13 |
| 2000–2500 cc | RM 41.17 | -RM 9.63 |
| > 2500 cc | RM 49.84 | -RM 0.97 |
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.
