Overview

The BYD Dolphin Boost (2024-…) is an all-electric front-wheel drive hatchback. Production of the car hasn’t started yet. The starting price is expected to be around €30,000.

The BYD Dolphin Boost (2024-…) has a 46 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 264 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 17 kWh per 100 km (or 5.88 km per kWh) — ranked №701 out of 833 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The BYD Dolphin Boost (2024-…) can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds (№56 out of 120 ranked positions, among 833 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and reach a top speed of 160 km/h.

The car’s powertrain delivers up to 130 kW (174 hp) of power and 260 Nm of torque.

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

Real-world range of the BYD Dolphin Boost (2024-…) is 264 km (№267 out of 334 ranked positions, among 833 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.

Plan your trips using the EV Navigation interactive map.

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

In Europe BYD Dolphin Boost (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 58 km 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 65 kW, but remember that battery temperature and charge level can influence the actual speed you'll experience.
