BYD Dolphin Mini charging costs estimated in Salvador

A simulation of charging costs for the BYD Dolphin Mini GS in Salvador, Brazil, indicates that a full charge for the 38 kWh battery costs approximately R$ 45.88. This calculation accounts for an average residential electricity tariff of R$ 1.05 per kWh and includes an estimated 15% energy loss during the charging process.

The Dolphin Mini is available in Brazil in two configurations: the GL version, which features a 30.08 kWh battery and 224 km of autonomy, and the GS version, which offers a 38 kWh battery and 280 km of autonomy as certified by Inmetro.

For a driver traveling 1,000 km per month, it would require approximately 3.6 full charges, resulting in an estimated monthly electricity cost of R$ 163.88. These costs are subject to change based on regional electricity tariffs and local utility providers across different Brazilian states.
