Overview

BYD DOLPHIN 44.9 kWh Active 2023 overview

Official WLTP range is 340 km, with 44.9 kWh usable battery, DC up to 60 kW and typical 10-80% stops near 38 min (est.). BYD DOLPHIN 44.9 kWh Active 2023 is an electric hatchback with FWD and 5 seats.

A 10-minute DC top-up (est.) adds 66 km. Energy use is 15.2 kWh/100 km.

Daily driving and shorter weekend trips should feel easy, though longer motorway journeys need more patience at chargers.

City - Mild Weather334 km
City - Cold Weather237 km

Highway - Cold Weather219 km

Estimates of actual range. The values given here are BEVDB estimates calculated from WLTP data and usable battery capacity, based on the BEVDB model. The BEVDB real-range card uses four fixed reference scenarios: City (Mild), Highway (Mild), City (Cold), and Highway (Cold). Mild means +20°C (70°F) without intensive climate-control use; cold means -10°C (14°F) with cabin heating. City speed is 50 km/h (30 mph), and highway speed is 110 km/h (70 mph). These figures are not official test results. Actual range will vary depending on speed, temperature, road conditions, road profile, load, tires, and driving style.

Estimated charging times are based on usable battery capacity, charging power and vehicle charging limits. Peak DC power is usually reached only briefly; average 10–80% power is more useful for estimating real charging time. Actual charging speed can vary by charger output, battery temperature, state of charge, weather, software and battery condition.

BEVDB model

Combined real range (estimate)276 km
Combined Energy Use (estimate)16.1 kWh/100 km

BEVDB estimates use WLTP-rated (or derived; falls back to NEDC when WLTP is missing) consumption and usable battery capacity to model city/highway ranges; the combined value is a weighted mix of city/highway and mild/cold scenarios. See the methodology and data sources for inputs, official source boundaries, fallback rules, and versioning.
