Charging cable BYD DOLPHIN

The BYD Dolphin is a compact electric hatchback available with two battery options. The 44.9 kWh version carries a 7 kW single-phase onboard charger, completing a full charge in around seven hours on a home wallbox. The 60.4 kWh version has an 11 kW three-phase charger, completing a full charge in around six and a half hours on a three-phase supply or around eight and a half hours on a single-phase home wallbox. DC fast charging peaks at 65 kW on the smaller battery and up to 88 kW on the larger. The CCS2 and Type 2 charge port sits on the right front flank.

Choosing the right charging cable

A 22 kW Voldt® Type 2 charging cable is the most versatile choice, covering both Dolphin variants at their full home charge rate. The 44.9 kWh model draws around 30A on a single-phase wallbox, and a 22 kW cable's 32A conductors support this comfortably. An 11 kW three-phase cable restricts single-phase to 16A (3.7 kW), roughly doubling the charge time on the smaller battery. For the 60.4 kWh model, the same 22 kW cable delivers the full 11 kW at public three-phase posts and the car's full single-phase rate at home.

The right-front port suits nose-in parking well, keeping it closest to the charging post. A 6-metre cable handles most home driveways. An 8-metre cable is the practical standard for mixed home and public use. A 10-metre cable covers awkward bay layouts. A 15-metre cable handles hotel car parks and longer driveways without restriction.

Portable charging away from home

The Voldt® portable CEE charging cable delivers output matched to the Dolphin's onboard charger. For the 60.4 kWh variant, a red three-phase 16A CEE socket delivers the full 11 kW: a complete charge in around six and a half hours. Red CEE sockets are found at workshops, farms, and commercial premises. For the 44.9 kWh variant, the charger is single-phase only, so both red and blue CEE sockets deliver 3.7 kW. The blue single-phase 16A CEE sockets typical of campsites and caravan hookups deliver 3.7 kW on both variants: a full charge of the smaller battery in around twelve hours, or a partial overnight top-up of the larger.

The Voldt® Schuko/Type G compatible portable charger draws 2.3 kW (10A safe limit) from a standard domestic wall socket. A full charge takes around twenty hours for the 44.9 kWh battery and close to twenty-seven for the 60.4 kWh, making this strictly an emergency fallback on either variant.
