BYD Atto 3 60 kWh — charging times by charger
DC times are 10–80% (the standard fast-charging window). AC times are 0–100%, since you’ll usually leave it plugged in overnight.
| Charger | Power | Type | Window | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-pin domestic (UK) | 2.3 kW | AC | 0–100% | 29h 14m |
| Home wallbox 7 kW | 7.4 kW | AC | 0–100% | 9h 05m |
| Three-phase home 11 kW | 11 kW | AC | 0–100% | 6h 07m |
| Three-phase home 22 kW | 22 kW | AC | 0–100% | 6h 07m |
| Public AC destination 22 kW | 22 kW | AC | 0–100% | 6h 07m |
| Rapid DC 50 kW | 50 kW | DC fast | 10–80% | 1h 00m |
| Rapid DC 100 kW | 100 kW | DC fast | 10–80% | 34 minutes |
| Fast DC 150 kW | 150 kW | DC fast | 10–80% | 34 minutes |
| Tesla Supercharger V3 | 250 kW | DC fast | 10–80% | 34 minutes |
| Tesla Supercharger V4 | 325 kW | DC fast | 10–80% | 34 minutes |

The Specs
About the BYD Atto 3 60 kWh
-
Battery
60.5 kWh
Usable battery capacity. The number that matters for charging-time maths.
-
DC Peak
88 kW
Limited to slower DC sites — pick a 50 kW rapid, anything faster is wasted.
-
AC Max
11 kW
Standard 11 kW three-phase. Most home wallboxes will charge at full pace.
-
Range gain (estimate)
≈ 148 mi
Rough miles added by a 10–80% fast-charging session (assuming ~3.5 mi/kWh).
How we calculate
The formula, in the open
Charging time is energy needed divided by effective power. We model the typical, warm, healthy case so the number is honest, not optimistic. Read the full methodology for the curve assumptions and sources.
Common Questions
BYD Atto 3 — frequently asked
How long does it take to charge a BYD Atto 3 60 kWh?
From 10% to 80% in approximately 34 minutes on a 150 kW DC fast charger. From empty to full in around 9h 05m on a 7.4 kW home wallbox. Times above are for a warm, healthy battery — cold packs and busy charger sites can extend them by 10–20%.
What is the BYD Atto 3’s maximum charging speed?
The BYD Atto 3 60 kWh accepts up to 88 kW on a DC fast charger and up to 11 kW on AC. Power tapers above 80% state of charge to protect the battery cells.
Can the BYD Atto 3 use a 350 kW ultra-rapid charger?
It will work but the car only draws up to 88 kW. A 88 kW or 150 kW charger gives the same speed at lower cost.
How long to charge a BYD Atto 3 at home?
On a typical 7.4 kW home wallbox the BYD Atto 3 fills from empty in around 9h 05m. Plug in overnight and the charge time stops mattering.
Is it bad to charge the BYD Atto 3 to 100%?
For day-to-day driving most manufacturers recommend an 80% ceiling on lithium-ion (NCM/NCA) chemistries, and 100% on LFP. Charge to 100% before a long trip and use the full range that day.
