DC charging time

Indicative DC charging time 10→80%, derived from battery capacity and charging power — not measured by us. Actual time depends on the charging curve, temperature and starting SoC.
Charging situation10→80% (min)
At model peak (230 kW) ~ 27
At a 150 kW charger ~ 41
At a 50 kW charger ~ 124
How is this calculated? We assume around 70% of the battery sits in the 10→80% window and an average power around 62% of peak (the curve tapers towards the end). At a fixed charger the power is capped to that charger. An estimate, not a manufacturer figure.

About the BYD Sealion 7 (2025)

Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.

The Sealion 7 is BYD's mid size electric SUV coupe for EU markets, unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October 2024 with deliveries from late 2024. The EU version uses the e-Platform 3.0 Evo with an 800 V electrical architecture, distinguishing it from the 400 V export variants offered in other regions. The AWD top trim pairs a 91.3 kWh LFP Blade battery with dual motors for 530 hp total and a WLTP range of 502 km (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). DC charging peaks at around 230 kW.

In practice

WLTP consumption is around 20.4 kWh/100km (manufacturer figure), reflecting the weight and frontal area of the AWD variant. Owner reports for the Sealion 7 are limited at this stage; first independent road tests in EU outlets place real world figures in the low 20s. The boot holds 520 l with the rear seats up, expanding to 1,789 l with the seats folded, plus a 58 l frunk. Braked towing weight is not homologated by BYD for EU markets at launch; check the official spec sheet for confirmation.

Points to note

The infotainment uses a rotating 15.6 inch central screen running BYD's own software. The 800 V platform enables faster DC charging and lighter cabling, but real charging curves depend on the LFP cell chemistry, which remains slower in cold weather without preconditioning. The BYD service network in EU markets is still being built up; check the nearest service point at the official dealer. The model has been on the EU market too short for an extensive ADAC failure statistic, and the residual value curve is not yet stable.
