Frequently Asked Questions

BYD DOLPHIN SURF 43.2 kWh Boost Range & Charging FAQ

What is the real-world highway and winter range of the BYD DOLPHIN SURF 43.2 kWh Boost?

The official combined WLTP range for the BYD DOLPHIN SURF 43.2 kWh Boost is 270 km (168 miles).

Compare with the BYD DOLPHIN SURF 43.2.

In cold winter conditions (-5°C / 23°F) at highway cruising speeds (120-130 km/h), expect a realistic highway range of approximately 194 km (121 miles) due to cold battery chemistry, cabin heating, and higher aerodynamic drag.

How long does it take to charge the BYD DOLPHIN SURF 43.2 kWh Boost at home?

Charging the 43.2 kWh battery from 0% to 100% takes approximately 3.5 hours using a standard 11 kW 3-phase AC wallbox. On a single-phase 7.4 kW home charger, a full charge takes around 5.3 hours (typically overnight).

How fast is DC fast charging (10% to 80%)?

The BYD DOLPHIN SURF 43.2 kWh Boost supports peak DC fast charging rates of up to 85 kW. Recharging from 10% to 80% State of Charge (SoC) requires approximately 30 minutes at a compatible ultra-rapid charging station.

How much does it cost to charge the BYD DOLPHIN SURF 43.2 kWh Boost?

At an average European residential electricity tariff of €0.24/kWh, a complete 0-100% home charge costs approximately €10.37. At high-power public DC charging networks (~€0.65/kWh), a full recharge costs approximately €28.08.
