BYD EV Charging (Type 2)

NZ New BYD Electric vehicles

Vehicle charging for NZ New BYD EVs is done with Type 2 equipment. On this page you’ll find all the charging equipment suitable for your EV / PHEV.

BYD Type 2 Charging Recommendations

Below are our recommendations for what would suit your NZ New BYD EV / PHEV. You don’t need to buy BYD branded charging products. Any product on this page will work perfectly well.

Portable EV Charger (Medium Speed Charging – Mode 2)

This charger plugs into the standard 3-pin power socket that you’ll have at home. No installation required.

This 10 amp cable will give you approximately 12.5km of range per hour of charging, so it will charge a small BYD EV or PHEV overnight.

It has a long 9 metre cable, and has the option for a delayed start (up to 12 hours) to use cheaper off-peak power.

It includes a wall cradle to keep it off the ground, and a stylish, durable carry bag so it can be easily taken with you wherever you go.

Wall Charger (Medium/Fast Speed Charging – Mode 3)

For faster charging at home you can get a Wall Charger installed. They get wired directly to your home’s power circuit like an oven.

This 32 amp wall charger will give you approximately 40km of range per hour of charging, enough to charge a long-range EV overnight, or supply a quick top-up before heading out.

Solar-ready, EECA-approved, smartphone connectivity, and Dynamic Load Balancing enabled, this wall charger ticks all the boxes.

Charging Lead (Medium/Fast Speed Charging – Mode 3)

Wall Chargers are often sold ‘untethered’, which means you’ll also need a Type 2 to Type 2 cable to connect to your BYD.

Depending on the length you want, we recommend this Type 2 to Type 2 Lead. You can get up to 10m leads if you need extra length.

As well as connecting your home wall charger, there are many public Wall Chargers that will require you to bring your own charger lead, so it pays to keep one in the vehicle on bigger trips.
