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 SEALION 7 91.3 kWh RWD Excellence. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Power	Time	Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	46h45m	6 mph
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	29h15m	9 mph
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	14h30m	19 mph
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW	9h45m	28 mph
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW †	9h45m	28 mph

Rapid 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 SEALION 7 91.3 kWh RWD Excellence.

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	50 kW	81 min	140 mph
CCS (100 kW DC)	100 kW	90 kW †	45 min	250 mph

All about the BYD SEALION 7 91.3 kWh RWD Excellence

Pricing

The BYD SEALION 7 91.3 kWh RWD Excellence has an estimated On The Road Price (OTR) of £58,700. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery.

Drivetrain and Performance

The BYD SEALION 7 91.3 kWh RWD Excellence is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the BYD SEALION 7 91.3 kWh RWD Excellence is 390 kW (523 hp). The maximum torque is 509 lb-ft. The BYD SEALION 7 91.3 kWh RWD Excellence is all wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds. The top speed is 134 mph.

Battery and Charging

The battery of the BYD SEALION 7 91.3 kWh RWD Excellence has an estimated total capacity of 93 kWh. The usable capacity is 91.3 kWh. An estimated range of about 270 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.

For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 195 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 385 mi.

Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 11 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 9 hours 45 minutes. However, a 3-phase grid connection is needed to achieve this. The majority of homes and charge points currently do not have this connection. In most cases the maximum charging power will be 7.4 kW, allowing for a charge time of 14 hours 30 minutes and a charge rate of 19 mph. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 46 hours 45 minutes.

Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 230 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 165 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 25 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 185 miles of range.

Energy Consumption

The estimated combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the BYD SEALION 7 91.3 kWh RWD Excellence is about 338 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 120 mpg in a traditional petrol car.

The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 468 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 237 Wh per mile.

CO2 Emission

The BYD SEALION 7 91.3 kWh RWD Excellence emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
