EV enthusiasts have been debating the maximum DC fast charging speed of 80 kW on the BYD Dolphin. That charging rate is significantly slower than what some competitors in its class can deliver, which can charge at speeds of 120 kW or faster. A lot of the discussion is centered around the feasibility of using the Dolphin for long distance travel, where you need to make frequent and perhaps longer charge stops. A few say that the charging speed is sufficient for everyday use and for short trips, but others insist that it greatly influences versatility of the car. It also discusses trade offs between battery longevity, charging speed and cost, as well as where charging infrastructure is currently at in different regions.
