BYD HAN charging cable

The BYD Han is a premium all-electric sedan powered by an 85.4 kWh Blade Battery (83 kWh usable) and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain producing 380 kW. The 11 kW onboard charger is configured as a strict three-phase unit at 16A per phase, meaning the full 11 kW is only available where a three-phase supply is present. At a three-phase post, a full charge takes around eight to nine hours. At a standard single-phase home wallbox, the car draws only 16A (3.7 kW) regardless of the wallbox rating, extending a full charge to over twenty-two hours. DC fast charging at up to 120 kW is available via CCS2. The Type 2 and CCS2 charge port sits on the right rear flank.

Understanding the Han's charger and choosing the right cable

The Han's charger is physically capped at 16A per phase and cannot bridge its internal phases to draw a higher current on a single line. This means a single-phase wallbox always delivers 3.7 kW, whether the wallbox is rated at 7.4 kW or higher. An 11 kW Voldt® Type 2 cable is the perfect technical match: its 16A conductors deliver 100% of the power the car can physically accept in every AC scenario. A 22 kW cable works identically on this car but offers no speed advantage, as the Han limits itself to 16A regardless. It is worth considering only if you plan to use the same cable with a future vehicle that draws higher current.

The right-rear port means reversing into a bay brings it closest to the charging post. A 6-metre cable handles a well-positioned home wallbox. An 8-metre cable is the practical standard for mixed home and public use. A 10-metre cable provides extra reach at stations with less predictable post positioning. A 15-metre cable handles hotel car parks and longer driveways without restriction.

Portable charging away from home

The Voldt® portable red CEE charging cable is where the Han's three-phase charger becomes an advantage rather than a limitation. Plugged into a red three-phase 16A CEE socket, the car draws on all three phases and charges at its full 11 kW, bypassing the single-phase bottleneck entirely. A complete charge takes around eight to nine hours. Red CEE sockets are found at workshops, farms, and commercial premises.

The blue single-phase 16A CEE sockets typical of campsites and caravan hookups deliver the same 3.7 kW as a home wallbox: over twenty-two hours for a full charge, a partial top-up at best.

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 a day and a half, making this strictly an emergency fallback.
