Charging Speed
The BYD Dolphin has a peak DC charging speed of 88 kW, which is roughly 31% faster than the GWM ORA 03 at 67 kW. In practice, peak speed only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the BYD Dolphin finishes in about 41 minutes, which is 7 minutes quicker than the GWM ORA 03 at 48 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The BYD Dolphin has a WLTP rated range of approximately 427 km, which is roughly 7 km more than the GWM ORA 03 at approximately 420 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The BYD Dolphin consumes 173 Wh/km, compared to 174 Wh/km for the GWM ORA 03. That means the BYD Dolphin uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The BYD Dolphin has approximately 60.5 kWh of useable battery , while the GWM ORA 03 has approximately 59.3 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging speed is your priority, the BYD Dolphin wins on both peak power (up to 88 kW) and time at the plug (approximately 41 minutes from 10-80%). For long road trips with multiple charging stops, that faster turnaround makes a real difference.
For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the BYD Dolphin supports up to 11 kW, compared to 6.6 kW for the GWM ORA 03. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can mean charging roughly twice as fast at those locations.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the BYD Dolphin is the more efficient choice at 173 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the BYD Dolphin has a WLTP rated range of approximately 427 km, which is roughly 7 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
