Frequently asked questions

Which has more range, the BYD Dolphin or the MG4?

With a full battery and catalogue consumption, the BYD Dolphin gets ≈ 381 km and the MG4 ≈ 390 km. Real range varies with speed, temperature and load; it is shorter on motorways and in winter.

How long do the BYD Dolphin and MG4 take to charge from 10% to 80%?

On a DC charger that can deliver the car's peak power, it takes about ≈ 35 min for the BYD Dolphin and ≈ 30 min for the MG4 (no time is shown where the peak power is unknown). A lower-power charger, a cold battery or shared power makes it longer.

What does 100 km cost in the BYD Dolphin and the MG4?

At the home night rate it is ≈ 57 ₺ for the BYD Dolphin and ≈ 59 ₺ for the MG4; at the public DC average ≈ 232 ₺ and ≈ 240 ₺. Charging losses are included; car price, taxes and maintenance are not.

How many charging stops do the BYD Dolphin and MG4 need from Istanbul to Ankara?

In our route engine's plan over real stations (leave at 90%, arrive with at least 10%), the BYD Dolphin: 2 stops, charging on the way ≈ 580 ₺; the MG4: 2 stops, charging on the way ≈ 580 ₺.

How it's calculated

Battery and consumption come from our vehicle catalogue, peak DC power from manufacturers' published figures. Where the catalogue has no WLTP figure, range is estimated as full battery ÷ catalogue consumption; the 10%→80% time uses an average charging curve and is approximate. Home electricity is the EPDK tariff of 4 April 2026 (taxes included); public DC is today's average across 12 networks; charging losses (10% at home, 5% on DC) are added to the cost per 100 km. The Istanbul–Ankara plan was calculated by the site's route engine on 24 October 2026 with real station locations and tariffs; where a stop's price is unknown, the median DC price along the corridor is used. Connector compatibility is based on the records of 7,578 DC charging points. Car prices and acceleration are not in the catalogue, so they are not shown. Data sources
