Charging BYD Atto 3 at home
The Atto 3 uses a 7kW single-phase onboard AC charger, so a standard home wallbox will fully top up the Essential's 49.92kWh battery in around 7-8 hours and the Premium's 60.48kWh battery in around 9-10 hours overnight - no three-phase power required.
This vehicle accepts up to 7 kW on AC — the rate a home charger delivers day to day (DC fast charging is for public stops, not the driveway).
