Tips to Reduce Charging Costs
- Charge at home overnight. The ATTO 3's 60.5 kWh battery fills up in about 8 hours on a 7.4 kW wallbox, and home electricity is the cheapest way to drive.
- The ATTO 3's DC charging caps at 89 kW. This is fine for occasional stops on longer trips, but not fast enough to make public fast charging a daily habit without spending more than necessary.
- The ATTO 3 comes with a standard heat pump. In cooler months, this reduces the energy used for cabin heating, meaning less battery drain and fewer trips to the charger.
- BYD's Blade Battery chemistry (LFP) is more tolerant of charging to 100% without significant degradation. You can charge to a higher level than many other EVs without worrying as much about battery health.
- Use the ATTO 3's regenerative braking in city traffic. Recapturing energy during stops and slowdowns meaningfully reduces your overall consumption.
The ATTO 3's LFP battery is forgiving about charge levels, so you can charge to 90-100% at home without the battery health concerns of other chemistries. This simplifies your routine. Plug in at home every two to three days, and reserve public DC charging for road trips. The heat pump helps keep winter charging costs from spiking too much.
