Indication of real-world consumption under different conditions. Cold weather is based on -10 °C and use of heating. Mild weather is based on 23 °C and no climate-control load. Highway figures assume a constant speed of 110 km/h. Actual consumption varies with speed, driving style, weather and route conditions.

Home and destination charging (0 → 100 %)

Charging can be done from a regular wall socket or from a dedicated charging station. Public AC charging is always done through a charging station. How quickly the vehicle can charge depends on the charging equipment, cable, connector and the vehicle’s onboard charging capacity. The table below shows the available charging options for BYD DOLPHIN SURF 43.2 kWh Boost from empty to full battery.

Norway

In Norway, both single-phase and three-phase AC connections are used, while three-phase charging is common in private and public charging points. The table below lists the possible charging options for BYD DOLPHIN SURF 43.2 kWh Boost, but availability may vary by charging operator, installation and region.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)
AC charging port for BYD DOLPHIN SURF 43.2 kWh Boost (2025) - Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)
Charge point Max power Power Time Speed
Wall outlet (2.3 kW) 230V / 1x10A 2.3 kW 22 h 15 min 12 km/h
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) 230V / 1x16A 3.7 kW 13 h 45 min 20 km/h
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW) 230V / 1x32A 7.4 kW 7 h 39 km/h
3-phase 16A (11 kW) 400V / 3x16A 11 kW 4 h 45 min 57 km/h
3-phase 32A (22 kW) 400V / 3x16A 11 kW † 4 h 45 min 57 km/h

† = Limited by the onboard charger; the vehicle cannot charge faster than this.

Fast charging (10 → 80 %)

Fast charging is used for longer trips and short charging stops. The actual speed depends on charger power, battery temperature, state of charge, battery preconditioning and the vehicle’s charging curve. The table below shows typical 10–80 % fast-charging options for BYD DOLPHIN SURF 43.2 kWh Boost where data is available.

Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)

CCS (50 kW DC) 50 kW 40 kW † 48 min 230 km/h
CCS (100 kW DC) 85 kW † 60 kW † 32 min 350 km/h
CCS (150 kW DC) 85 kW † 60 kW † 32 min 350 km/h

† = Limited by the vehicle’s maximum DC charging capability.

Long-distance suitability

Long-distance suitability is not determined by range alone. Charging speed is almost as important. Battery capacity, efficiency and fast-charging performance together decide how useful an electric vehicle is on longer trips.

To make vehicles easier to compare, Elbil RADAR uses a method called “1-stop range”. It combines driving range and charging performance and estimates how far the vehicle can travel with one 15-minute charging stop. The result is converted into a 0–5 star rating.
