🔋 BYD Seal U DM-i – Battery Capacity, Charging Times, and PHEV Charging Specs

The BYD Seal U DM-i is a next-generation plug-in hybrid SUV designed with an electric-first mindset. With two battery options, strong electric range, and rare support for DC fast charging, it delivers true EV-like functionality in a family-friendly hybrid form.

🔋 Battery Options and Electric Range

Battery 1: 18.3 kWh usable – up to 79–90 km WLTP electric range

Battery 2: 27.6 kWh usable – up to 110–125 km WLTP electric range (AWD version)

These are among the highest electric-only ranges available in the PHEV segment, allowing most daily driving to be completed entirely on electricity.

⚡ AC Charging (Home & Public Wallbox)

Maximum AC charging power: 7.0 kW (single-phase or 3-phase, region dependent)

Full AC charging time (0–100%):
▪️ 18.3 kWh battery: approx. 2.5–3 hours
▪️ 27.6 kWh battery: approx. 4 hours

Charging is done via a Type 2 connector, and maximum speed is achieved using a dedicated wallbox or public AC station with 7 kW+ output.

⚡ DC Fast Charging (Rare in PHEVs)

Maximum DC charging power: up to 18–20 kW

DC charging time (30–80%): approx. 30–40 minutes

Unlike most plug-in hybrids, the BYD Seal U DM-i supports DC fast charging via a CCS2 connector, allowing for meaningful range top-ups during short stops – especially useful on longer trips.
