Estimates, not measurements: the WLTP figure scaled by the same temperature and road factors for every car (for example 65% for cold motorway driving, 115% for mild city driving). Your range depends on speed, wheels, load and heating. For a planned stop, use the charging simulator.
Calculated from sustained 10-80% DC fast charging speed, cold-weather aerodynamic drag, and official WLTP range (265 km165 mi).
The official combined WLTP range for the BYD DOLPHIN SURF 43.2 kWh Comfort is 265 km (165 miles).
In cold winter conditions (-5°C / 23°F) at highway cruising speeds (120-130 km/h), expect a realistic highway range of approximately 191 km (119 miles) due to cold battery chemistry, cabin heating, and higher aerodynamic drag.
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).
The BYD DOLPHIN SURF 43.2 kWh Comfort 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.
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.
