Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The BYD Dolphin 44.9 kWh Boost (2023-…) can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 8 seconds (ranked №489 out of 693 electric vehicles) and reach a top speed of 99 mph.

The car’s powertrain delivers up to 132 kW (177 hp) of power and 133 lb-ft of torque.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for BYD Dolphin 44.9 kWh Boost (2023-…) falls between 148–180 miles, ranking it №574 out of 693 electric vehicles. Several conditions can influence this range:

  • Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
  • Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
  • Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
  • Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 60 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.
