BYD home EV chargers
Find home EV chargers suitable for popular BYD models including Atto 3, Seal and Sealion 7.
Current BYD battery-electric models sold in Australia use Type 2 AC charging. Their maximum AC charging rate varies by model; for example, the current BYD Seal is specified at 7 kW AC, while the Sealion 7 is specified at 11 kW AC.
A home charger should therefore be matched to the exact BYD model and the home's electrical supply rather than selected from the wallbox rating alone. A 22 kW charger will not make a BYD charge above the vehicle's onboard AC limit.
For a charger recommendation, rooftop solar, switchboard capacity, parking location, cable preference and daily driving needs are also relevant.

BYD EV charging FAQs
Do I need a special cable to charge my BYD at home?
Current BYD battery-electric models covered on this page use Type 2 for AC charging. With a tethered home charger, the Type 2 cable is attached to the charger. With a socketed charger, you need a separate Type 2 to Type 2 cable. For charging from a household power point, use compatible portable charging equipment specified for the vehicle.
How do I choose a home charger for my BYD?
There is no single home charger that is right for every BYD. Match the charger's electrical phase and output to your vehicle's onboard AC limit and your home's available supply, then consider solar, load management, cable length, parking location and connected features. Use Find My Charger to narrow the options for your vehicle and home.
Can BYD EVs use standard Type 2 home chargers?
Yes. Current BYD battery-electric models covered on this page can use a correctly installed Type 2 AC home charger. The charger may be rated higher than the vehicle can accept, but charging power will still be limited by the vehicle's onboard AC charger, the site's electrical supply and any configured current or load-management limit.
How fast can I charge my BYD at home?
BYD home charging speed depends on the exact model. Current Australian specifications include models with AC limits around 7 kW, while models such as the Sealion 7 support up to 11 kW AC. The actual rate also depends on the home's electrical supply and charger configuration.
Can I charge my BYD from a regular power point?
Yes, with compatible portable charging equipment. A standard Australian power point provides much less power than a dedicated wall charger, so charging takes longer, but it may still cover some daily driving needs. Plug the charging equipment directly into a suitable outlet rather than using an extension lead or power board. A dedicated home charger must be installed by a licensed electrician.
