BYD TANG charging cable

The BYD Tang is a seven-seat all-wheel-drive electric SUV. The current facelift carries a 108.8 kWh Blade Battery and an 11 kW three-phase onboard charger. Pre-facelift models (2021–2024) have an 86.4 kWh battery with a 7 kW single-phase charger. At 11 kW on a three-phase supply, the facelift charges fully in around ten hours. At a single-phase 7.4 kW home wallbox, the same charge takes around fifteen hours. DC fast charging at up to 170 kW recovers 30–80% in around 30 minutes. The CCS2 and Type 2 charge port sits on the right rear flank.

Choosing the right charging cable

A 22 kW Voldt® Type 2 charging cable is the right match for both Tang generations. On the facelift, its 32A conductors draw the full 7.4 kW at home on a single-phase wallbox and the full 11 kW at public three-phase posts. On the pre-facelift, the same cable supports the car's 7 kW single-phase charger at its full 30A draw. An 11 kW three-phase cable restricts any single-phase wallbox to 16A (3.7 kW), roughly doubling home charge times on both variants. With the facelift's 108.8 kWh battery, that turns a fifteen-hour overnight charge into a twenty-nine-hour one.

The right-rear port means reversing into a bay brings it closest to the charging post. The Tang is a large vehicle at over 4.9 metres, so post positioning matters. A 6-metre cable handles a well-positioned home wallbox. An 8-metre cable is the practical standard for mixed use. A 10-metre cable is worth considering given the car's length. A 15-metre cable removes all uncertainty at hotel car parks and longer driveways.

Portable charging away from home

The Voldt® portable CEE charging cable delivers up to 11 kW via three-phase CEE, matched to the facelift's onboard charger. At a red three-phase 16A CEE socket, the facelift charges at its full 11 kW: around ten hours for the 108.8 kWh battery. Red CEE sockets are found at workshops, farms, and commercial premises. For the pre-facelift, both red and blue CEE sockets deliver 3.7 kW, as the charger is single-phase only. The blue single-phase 16A CEE sockets typical of campsites and caravan hookups deliver 3.7 kW on every Tang variant: a partial top-up at best on batteries this large.

A note on domestic wall sockets

The Voldt® Schuko/Type G compatible portable charger draws 2.3 kW (10A safe limit) from a standard domestic wall socket. With the facelift's 108.8 kWh battery, a full charge takes close to two full days. This is not a viable charging option for the Tang. For overnight home charging, a dedicated wallbox is the minimum requirement.
