Real-world range of the BYD Seal U Design (2024-...) is 264 miles (№97 out of 238 ranked positions, among 723 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) — depending on several factors, including:

Speed: Higher speeds deplete the battery faster.
Temperature: Extreme cold and hot weather impacts range.
Terrain: Hilly or mountainous terrain reduces range.
Driving style: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
Use of features: Features like climate control and media system also affect range.

It's important to remember that these are just estimates, and your actual range may vary. It's always best to factor in these various factors when planning your trip and be prepared for potential charging stops.

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

In the USA BYD Seal U Design (2024-...) has a CCS Type 2 charge port.

You can charge it at home using a standard domestic socket or plug into any public AC charging station using the right cable. Keep in mind that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 11 kW, which translates to approximately 30 miles of range added per hour of charging.
For quicker charging, consider using a compatible DC fast-charging station. The car boasts a maximum charging rate of 140 kW, but remember that battery temperature and charge level can influence the actual speed you'll experience.
