Power of BYD Chazor EV Chargers
BYD Chazor electric vehicles and hybrids support a variety of charging options with different wattages. The company offers several types of chargers, each with its own power and charging time characteristics.
Types of chargers and their power
OEM charger
The basic charger that comes with the BYD Chazor car has the following specifications:
-
Maximum power: 1.5kw
-
Voltage: 220V
-
Full Charge Time: About 40 hours (0% to 100%)
This device is the simplest charging option that is suitable for emergency situations or when other options are not available. Despite the slow charging speed, the standard charger allows you to connect to ordinary household sockets without special equipment .
Non-standard portable chargers
More powerful alternatives to OEM charging:
-
Power: 3-3.5kw
-
Supported current: 16 amps
-
Full Charge Time: About 20 hours (0% to 100%)
Such devices, produced by manufacturers like Zencar, provide twice the charging speed compared to the standard charger. They often require an adapter from the Chinese GBT connector to the European Type 2 connector .
Wall Charger
Wall charger for home or public installation:
-
Maximum power: 7 kW
-
Supported current: 32 amps
-
Full Charge Time: 8-9 hours (0% to 100%)
This is the best option for home charging, which guarantees a full charge of the battery overnight. It should be borne in mind that such a device requires an electrical line that can withstand a load of 32 amperes. If the power supply is insufficient, problems may arise, such as blowing fuses .
Built-in BYD Chazor charging ports
AC charging port
The BYD Chazor is equipped with a high-power AC charging port:
-
Maximum power: 17 kW
This port allows you to significantly speed up the charging process when using compatible charging stations.
DC fast charging port
BYD Chazor models also have a fast charging port:
-
Charging Speed: 30% to 80% in just 30 minutes
Battery capacity and mileage
Batteries in different configurations of BYD Chazor have different capacities:
-
Models with a range of 55 km: 8.3 kWh battery capacity
Models with a range of 120 km: 18.3 kWh battery capacity
Technical features of charging
Requirements for the power grid
To charge your BYD Chazor effectively, you need to consider:
-
A 7 kW stationary charger requires a line that supports 32 amps
-
If the power of the home network is insufficient, it is recommended to use 16-ampere chargers with a power of 3-3.5 kW
Connector Types and Compatibility
The BYD Chazor, like most Chinese electric vehicles, has two charging ports:
-
GBT connector for DC fast charging
-
Connector similar to Type 2, but smaller, for AC charging
An adapter from GBT to Type 2 may be required to use European chargers .
Conclusion
BYD Chazor offers a variety of charging options with a power of 1.5 to 17 kW, which allows you to adapt the charging process to different conditions. The most optimal for home use is a 7 kW stationary charger that provides a full charge overnight, while for fast charging on the go, you can use the DC port, which allows you to charge the battery to 50% in just half an hour. When choosing a charger, you need to take into account the features of the power supply and the compatibility of connectors.
