{"product_id":"byd-atto-3-charging-cable","title":"BYD Atto 3 Charging Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuying a used BYD Atto 3 and not certain whether you are looking at the original or the \u003cstrong\u003eAtto 3 Evo\u003c\/strong\u003e? For cable purposes it makes no difference. The Atto 3 reached UK driveways in 2023 and the Evo took over in April 2026, and both generations accept \u003cstrong\u003e11 kW on AC\u003c\/strong\u003e through the same inlet. What grew was the battery, 60.5 kWh to 74.8 kWh, and that changes how long a full charge takes rather than how quickly the car will take it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhichever one is sitting outside, it wants a \u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e. Neither generation was sold with a Type 1 inlet, so that part of the decision is already made for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11 kW headline is a three-phase number. British domestic supplies are single phase, which puts the real ceiling at 7.4 kW on a home wallbox, and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-charging-cables\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1-Phase, 32A cable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e hands the Atto 3 every watt of it. The 3-Phase 32A cable carries a 22 kW rating and is a perfectly good cable, but the car still stops at 11 kW, so it repays the extra only where a genuine three-phase supply exists, usually at work rather than at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is one loose end worth tying off. A few UK review sites still list the original car as 7.4 kW with 11 kW as an option, while BYD's own UK specification puts 11 kW three-phase on as standard, and 11 kW is the figure behind the tables below. It is a disagreement with no practical consequence: on a single-phase home supply the car draws 7.4 kW either way, and the 32A single-phase cable is the correct buy either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSkip the 16A cable on both generations. It holds the car at 3.7 kW, which works out at twenty three hours from empty on an Atto 3 Evo and eighteen and a half on the original, where a 32A cable does the same job in eleven and a half hours and nine and a quarter. Our Type 2 to Type 2 cable is stocked in 5m, 10m, 15m and 20m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/type-2-to-3-pin-charging-cables\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType 2 to 3-Pin Charging Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e comes in 5m and 10m and draws 2.3 kW from an ordinary UK 13A socket, roughly ten miles of range an hour.

It gives the car 7.4 kW, which is as much as a single-phase British home can supply. The same cable suits the Atto 3 Evo, so a used buyer does not need to know which generation is on the forecourt before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the BYD Atto 3 Evo charge differently from the original Atto 3?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The BYD Atto 3 Evo and the original Atto 3 both take 11 kW on AC through a Type 2 inlet, so one cable covers both and behaves identically in each. The Evo carries the larger 74.8 kWh battery, so a full charge takes about two hours longer on the same cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the 22kW cable worth paying for on a BYD Atto 3?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most BYD Atto 3 owners, no. The car accepts 11 kW at most, so a 22kW cable has nowhere to put the rest. Where three phase is actually installed, the 60.5 kWh Atto 3 fills from empty in about 6 hours 15 minutes instead of 9 hours 15. Plugged into the single-phase supply almost every British house has, that cable performs identically to the 32A single-phase one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does a BYD Atto 3 take on a home wallbox?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA BYD Atto 3 on a 7 kW home wallbox with a 32A single-phase cable takes 9 hours 15 minutes from empty on the 60.5 kWh battery, and 11 hours 30 minutes on the 74.8 kWh Evo. A larger wallbox will not shorten that. A 22 kW unit on a single-phase house still supplies 7.4 kW, and even on three phase the Atto 3 stops at 11 kW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs a three-pin cable useful for a BYD Atto 3?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, as a spare rather than a routine. A BYD Atto 3 on a 2.3 kW domestic socket gains about ten miles of range an hour, which is fine for an overnight top up at a relative's house but slow going against a 60.5 kWh or 74.8 kWh battery. Keep the 3-pin cable in the boot and do your everyday charging on the wallbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat cable length should a BYD Atto 3 owner order?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10m is where most BYD Atto 3 owners land. The car is 4.46m long and the Evo is much the same, so parking nose in leaves the socket a fair distance from a wall-mounted box. Walk the route the cable will actually take with the car where you normally leave it, allow enough spare that nothing sits under tension, and step up to 15m or 20m for a detached garage or shared parking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth cable types are built to live outdoors on a British driveway all year, and \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/ev-charging-cables-ip-ratings-explained\"\u003eour guide sets out what each IP rating actually covers\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cables carry IEC 62196 Type 2 construction with CE certification, IP55 sealing on the Type 2 to Type 2 and IP67 on the Type 2 to 3-Pin, and a -30C to +50C, or +60C for the 3-pin rating.
