For BYD we cover 13 models and 32 versions from model years 2022-2026, including 24 electric cars and 8 plug-in hybrids, with batteries from 7.8 to 108.8 kWh. Onboard power is unevenly spread: 22 versions charge at 11 kW and get the Q11, 7 versions fall within 6.6-7.4 kW and get the 7.4 kW Q74, and the 3 versions with 3.3 kW are covered by the 3.7 kW Q37. The whole range uses a Type 2 connector, so the only thing that decides the match is the power the car will accept.

Charging BYD - FAQ
Do we match all BYD models the same way?
No. Across the 32 BYD versions from 2022-2026 there are four levels of onboard power: 11 kW in 22 versions, 7.4 kW in three, 6.6 kW in four and 3.3 kW in three. Hence three different recommendations: the Q11, the Q74 or the Q37. So we start by checking the specific version, not just the model name.
How does the choice for BYD plug-in hybrids differ from the electric cars?
Our BYD listing holds 24 electric versions and 8 plug-in hybrids. The name is not enough: the SEAL U 1.5 DM-i accepts 11 kW and we match a Q11 or P11 to it, while the SEAL 6 and Atto 2 DM-i have 3.3 or 6.6 kW, where the Q37 or Q74 is right. The smallest plug-in battery holds 7.8 kWh.
Does a 22 kW charger make sense for a BYD?
No. None of the 32 BYD versions in our listing accepts more than 11 kW from alternating current. A Q22 will not shorten charging by even a minute, because the car will draw exactly what its onboard charger allows. The most that makes sense for a BYD is a portable charger or a Q11 wallbox rated at 11 kW.
What connector do the BYD ATTO 3 and DOLPHIN use?
All 32 BYD versions in the listing, from the DOLPHIN SURF to the TANG and HAN, have a Type 2 connector. No adapter or Type 1 cable is needed. The same cable fits a portable charger and a wallbox, so the choice comes down purely to the onboard power of your particular car.
We have a BYD with a 6.6 kW onboard charger - what should we get?
Four BYD versions in the listing have exactly 6.6 kW of onboard power. For those we match a 7.4 kW Q74, the closest level covering the car's capability, or a P72 if you prefer a display. An 11 kW Q11 changes nothing here, because the car will still draw its 6.6 kW.
