- How long does the BYD Sealion 7 take to charge at home?
- From 20% to 80%: with an 11 kW charger RWD (82.5 kWh) 5 h, AWD Design (82.5 kWh) 5 h, AWD Excellence (91.3 kWh) 5 h 32 min; with a single-phase 7.4 kW charger RWD (82.5 kWh) 7 h 26 min, AWD Design (82.5 kWh) 7 h 26 min, AWD Excellence (91.3 kWh) 8 h 14 min; with a 3.7 kW (16 A single-phase) portable charger RWD (82.5 kWh) 14 h 52 min, AWD Design (82.5 kWh) 14 h 52 min, AWD Excellence (91.3 kWh) 16 h 27 min. Times depend on the car's onboard AC charger and the battery's state of charge.
- Which charger is right for the BYD Sealion 7?
- Because the car's onboard AC charger takes 11 kW as standard, a three-phase 11 kW wallbox at home gives the fastest charging the car can accept. On a single-phase supply, a 7.4 kW wallbox is usually enough for everyday use.
- Does a 22 kW charger charge the BYD Sealion 7 faster?
- No. The BYD Sealion 7 takes at most 11 kW AC; a 22 kW charger gives this car the same power. A 22 kW charger only makes sense for a future car that supports 22 kW or for shared use.
- How much does it cost to charge the BYD Sealion 7 at home?
- At the Ofgem price cap (£0.26/kWh, 10.2026) 100 km costs about £4.97-5.26. At public AC chargers you pay about £10.20-10.80 on average, at DC rapid chargers about £14.23-15.07. Tariffs with cheaper night rates lower the cost further.
- Does the BYD Sealion 7 support V2L?
- Yes. The BYD Sealion 7 supports V2L (vehicle-to-load) (up to 3.3 kW according to EV Database): a V2L adapter plugged into the Type 2 charging socket lets you use the car like a 230 V socket. Bemis V2L adapters for BYD · Skywell work with this car.
