Real Range Estimation between 115 - 240 mi

City - Cold Weather *	160 mi
Highway - Cold Weather *	115 mi
Combined - Cold Weather *	135 mi

City - Mild Weather *	240 mi
Highway - Mild Weather *	145 mi
Combined - Mild Weather *	185 mi

Indication of real-world range in several situations. Cold weather: 'worst-case' based on -10°C and use of heating. Mild weather: 'best-case' based on 23°C and no use of A/C. For 'Highway' figures a constant speed of 70 mph is assumed. The actual range will depend on speed, style of driving, weather and route conditions.

Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the BYD DOLPHIN 44.9 kWh Boost. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Europe

Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the BYD DOLPHIN 44.9 kWh Boost can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Power	Time	Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	23 hours	7 mph
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	14h30m	11 mph
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	7h15m	22 mph
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW †	14h30m	11 mph
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW †	7h15m	22 mph

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the BYD DOLPHIN 44.9 kWh Boost.

Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Avg. Power	Time	Rate
CCS (50 kW DC)	50 kW	40 kW †	50 min	130 mph
CCS (100 kW DC)	60 kW †	50 kW †	40 min	160 mph
CCS (150 kW DC)	60 kW †	50 kW †	40 min	160 mph

This vehicle supports Autocharge
This vehicle does not support Plug & Charge

† = Limited by charging capabilities of vehicle

Autocharge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations.

Plug & Charge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations in accordance with ISO 15118.

Actual charging rates may differ from data shown due to factors like outside temperature, state of the battery and driving style.

BYD Claimed Specifications

The table below shows the claimed specifications from the manufacturer for charging the BYD DOLPHIN 44.9 kWh Boost. The specifications can differ from the table above for a variety of reasons. If real-world charge tests are available, these differences can be signifcant. If no real-world tests are available, the table above will be based on the manufacturer specifications as per the table below.

Max. Power: maximum charge power during charging session
Charge From: battery percentage (% SoC) where charging session is started
Charge To: battery percentage (% SoC) where charging session is ended
Time: time needed for charging session
