Real-world charging losses for BYD SEAL U 71.8 kWh Comfort
A BYD SEAL U 71.8 kWh Comfort 20% to 80% session stores about 43.1 kWh in the battery. At the wall, the real energy draw can be higher because AC/DC conversion, battery conditioning, and cable losses all add overhead.
If 8% to 15% of the metered energy is lost, the same session would draw about 46.8 to 50.7 kWh. These percentages are illustrative assumptions, not measured efficiency for this model. Metered energy is battery energy divided by the fraction that reaches the battery. Use your charger’s billed kWh and actual tariff for a real session.

20% to 80% wall-energy estimate
46.8 to 50.7 kWh
Based on 43.1 kWh stored in the battery divided by 0.92 to 0.85, assuming 8% to 15% of metered energy is lost.
How Charge Cost estimates BYD SEAL U 71.8 kWh Comfort charging costs
1. Battery data
This page starts with the 71.8 kWh battery capacity listed for BYD SEAL U 71.8 kWh Comfort, so the baseline calculation is model-specific rather than generic.
2. Charge window
Your current charge and target charge determine how much battery energy is added. A smaller top-up costs less because fewer kWh need to be delivered.
3. Electricity price
The tool multiplies the required kWh by your price per kWh. If you pay more for public charging, taxes, or time-of-use tariffs, your real bill can be higher.
Frequently asked questions about charging a BYD SEAL U 71.8 kWh Comfort
How much does it cost to charge a BYD SEAL U 71.8 kWh Comfort?
Charge Cost helps estimate the charging cost of a BYD SEAL U 71.8 kWh Comfort using its 71.8 kWh battery capacity, your current state of charge, target charge level, and electricity price. A full 0% to 100% battery estimate uses about 71.8 kWh before charging losses, so the cost changes directly with your electricity tariff.
What does a 20% to 80% charge add to a BYD SEAL U 71.8 kWh Comfort?
BYD SEAL U 71.8 kWh Comfort needs about 43.1 kWh to move from 20% to 80% battery. At example electricity prices of £0.15, £0.25, £0.40 in GBP per kWh, that works out to roughly £6.46, £10.77, £17.23 in GBP before charging losses.
Does the BYD SEAL U 71.8 kWh Comfort charging cost estimate include charging losses?
The base estimate for BYD SEAL U 71.8 kWh Comfort focuses on battery energy and electricity price. Real-world wall energy can be higher, so a 20% to 80% session may require about 46.8 to 50.7 kWh if 8% to 15% of metered energy is lost. This is an illustrative assumption, not measured efficiency for this model.
