How much does charging cost?
Compare batteries using your tariffs. Initial values of 0.30 and 0.65 €/kWh are examples, not offers or market averages.
Supply energy = usable capacity × charge change ÷ (1 − losses). Costs cover energy only, excluding subscriptions and other charges. Actual losses vary with power, installation and temperature.
Example from 20–80%, with assumed losses of 10%.

WLTP range and consumption, when present, are reported by the independent technical source. We have not rechecked them in a manufacturer homologation document for the Italian trim. They are not the source's real-world range estimates.
Documented historical configuration; production, used availability and new-car ordering availability are separate questions. It does not represent the Italian 2026 range.
Declared AC WLTP consumption includes charging energy: do not add losses again. It is a homologation value, not a prediction of road consumption.
European specifications documented by independent technical source EV Database. Usable capacity 71.8 kWh is not presented as primary manufacturer confirmation. Year, equipment and market must match your car; these data are not extended to later updates.
AC charging time from 20–80%
Energy stored in this window is approximately 43.1 kWh. With 10% losses, estimated supply energy is 47.9 kWh.
| Available power | Applied limit | Estimated time |
|---|---|---|
| 2.3 kW | 2.3 kW | 20 h 49 min |
| 3.7 kW | 3.7 kW | 12 h 57 min |
| 7.4 kW | 7.4 kW | 6 h 29 min |
| 11 kW | 11 kW | 4 h 22 min |
| 22 kW | 11 kW | 4 h 22 min |
Simplified estimate: stored energy ÷ 0.90 ÷ effective power. Power is the lower of available power and the version's AC limit. Constant power is assumed: installation, phases, temperature and battery management can extend time. Listed powers are calculation scenarios, not an installation assessment.
Rapid DC charging
The catalogue reports a reference of 10–80% in 42 minutes. This reference applies to the stated version and source conditions; it is not a guaranteed time for every session. The full calculator uses it as a reference for the estimated curve.

How to use these results
A 22 kW AC station cannot exceed the onboard charger limit. For BYD Seal U, the individual version figures in the table are more useful than the commercial name alone. Also check available power and installation phases.
Estimated cost multiplies supply kWh by your tariff. DC charging follows a curve and cannot be calculated by dividing energy by peak power. Sources and reference windows are listed for each version.
