The ATTO 2 supports Type 2 AC charging up to 7kW (single-phase), which matches how most New Zealand homes are wired. A dedicated 7kW wall charger delivers predictable overnight charging — the best upgrade you can make for day-to-day convenience. If you have solar, a smart charger can automatically soak up surplus generation.
Plug in and go
A fixed cable attached to the charger — the easiest daily experience. Pull in, plug in, done.
One cable for everything
Socket only — you use your own Type 2 cable. Great for sharing a charger between vehicles, or keeping one cable for home and public AC charging.
Got solar panels
Our smart chargers support solar diversion — soak up your excess solar export and charge for free during the day.
Estimates assume charging from 10% to 100% with typical wall-to-battery efficiency, based on the 51.13kWh Blade Battery. BYD’s brochure figure for 0–100% at 7kW is ~8.2 hours.

The ATTO 2 uses CCS2 for public fast charging and supports up to 82kW peak. BYD quotes 10–80% in ~38.6 minutes (and ~68 minutes for 0–100% under test conditions). All DC chargers have a fixed cable — no need to carry your own.
You’ll often find Type 2 socket chargers at supermarkets, malls, hotels and motels. These typically require you to bring your own cable.

We recommend a Type 2 to Type 2 cable (7kW-rated) — a 5m cable covers most situations. A Type 2 to Type 2 cable (22kW-rated) is also a solid pick: more robust and future-proof if you ever upgrade to an EV with a higher AC rate.
The ATTO 2 uses a single charging flap for both Type 2 AC and CCS2 DC, located on the driver’s side above the wheel.
A 7kW (32A) single-phase wall charger — it matches the ATTO 2’s maximum AC rate and fully charges the car in around 7.5 hours from 10%, easily done overnight.
No. The ATTO 2’s AC charging caps at 7kW single-phase, which is exactly what a standard NZ home supply provides. There’s no speed benefit from a three-phase charger.
Up to 345km WLTP from its 51.13kWh Blade Battery. Real-world range varies with driving style, terrain and conditions.
Yes — the included Mode 2 cable works from a standard socket, but a full charge takes around 28 hours, so it’s best kept for occasional or emergency use. A 7kW wall charger is strongly recommended for daily charging.
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable in 5m. A 7kW-rated cable suits the ATTO 2; a 22kW-rated cable is a future-proof alternative.
