Charging
the BYD Seal 6 Touring.
The BYD Seal 6 Touring is a plug-in hybrid estate, the practical counterpart to the Seal 6 Saloon, on sale in the UK from 2025. It carries the same DM-i powertrain and battery options as the saloon: the Comfort trim runs a 19kWh Blade LFP battery with AC and DC charging capability, while the Boost trim uses a 10.08kWh battery that charges on AC only at 3.3kW. Both use a Type 2 inlet, so the cable required for home wallboxes and public AC charge points is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
The Comfort trim's AC charge rate is 6.6kW on a single phase, with DC rapid charging at up to 26kW via a CCS port. A 30 to 80 percent charge on the Comfort takes around 23 minutes on rapid DC. The Boost trim has no DC port. As with all CCS rapid charging, the station's tethered cable handles the DC connection.
The Boost trim is AC-only at 3.3kW. The Comfort supports both 6.6kW AC and up to 26kW DC rapid charging. Rapid (DC) times are for a 10 to 80% charge, the way manufacturers quote them. Real-world charging varies with temperature, battery state and the charger itself.
7.4 kW or 22 kW?
Which cable does
the Seal 6 Touring need?
The Seal 6 Touring Comfort's 6.6kW AC charge rate falls within the single-phase ceiling, so a standard 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the right tool for the job. It connects to any UK home wallbox or public AC charge point, and the car draws its full 6.6kW through it. The Boost trim's 3.3kW rate is even further inside single-phase limits, making the same 7.4kW cable equally appropriate.
No three-phase cable is needed for any Seal 6 Touring variant: the onboard chargers on both trims are single-phase units well within standard UK supply limits. A 5m cable handles most driveways comfortably. If the wallbox is installed some distance from the parking spot, 7m or 10m options give extra reach without any change to charging speed.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the Comfort's 19kWh battery from empty costs roughly £1 to £2 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, and around £5 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. The Boost's 10.08kWh battery is cheaper still, under £1 off-peak and around £3 at standard rates. As a PHEV, day-to-day plug-in costs are modest given the battery sizes. Check current tariff rates for up-to-date figures.

BYD Seal 6 Touring FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the BYD Seal 6 Touring need?+−
The BYD Seal 6 Touring has a Type 2 inlet, so it needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for UK home and public charging. It charges on single-phase AC at up to 6.6kW.
Can the BYD Seal 6 Touring charge at 22kW?+−
No, the BYD Seal 6 Touring has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 6.6kW, so a 7.4kW cable already delivers its full AC speed. A 22kW cable would only benefit a future car.
What length charging cable should I get?+−
5m suits most home and public charge points. Choose 7.5m or 10m if the charge point is far from your car's charging port or you park on the far side of a bay.
Does the BYD Seal 6 Touring support V2L?+−
Yes. The BYD Seal 6 Touring supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so a V2L discharge cable lets you run tools, appliances and devices straight from the battery through the Type 2 inlet, at up to 3.6kW.
What cable does the BYD Seal 6 Touring need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charge points. The Seal 6 Touring uses a Type 2 AC inlet across both trims. A 7.4kW cable suits the Comfort (6.6kW AC) and the Boost (3.3kW AC). No three-phase cable is required.
Does the BYD Seal 6 Touring support DC rapid charging?+−
The Comfort trim does, with a 19kWh Blade LFP battery and a CCS DC port rated at up to 26kW. A 30 to 80 percent charge takes around 23 minutes on a suitable rapid charger. The Boost trim has no CCS port and is limited to AC charging only. DC rapid charging uses the charger's own tethered cable.
How long does the BYD Seal 6 Touring take to charge at home?+−
The Comfort's 19kWh battery takes around 3 hours from empty at 6.6kW on a wallbox. The Boost's 10.08kWh battery takes around 3 to 3.5 hours at its 3.3kW rate. Both are easily covered overnight. A standard three-pin socket charges more slowly but works as a backup for either trim.
Is the charging setup on the Seal 6 Touring the same as the Saloon?+−
Yes. The Seal 6 Touring and Seal 6 Saloon share the same powertrain, battery options, and onboard charger specifications. The same Type 2 to Type 2 cable, battery sizes, and AC and DC charge rates apply to both body styles. The Touring adds estate practicality but does not change the charging setup.
