Home charging from 20 to 80%: battery and onboard charger from the charging data, checked on October 6, 2026. Each model page lists its sources. ERE: kWh at 15,000 km × 0.33269 ERE per kWh × €0.460 per ERE × (1 − 20%), rounded to €5.
Comparison
BYD: Wh/km and ERE per year
Wh/km is the WLTP consumption from the EEA data. ERE per year at 15,000 km charged at home follows that consumption, rounded to €5. More Wh/km means fewer kilometres per kWh, more kWh charged at the same distance and therefore more ERE. That is not an advantage: each extra kWh earns about €0.12 in ERE but costs about €0.26 in electricity at home. A more efficient car is cheaper overall. Per kWh the brand does not change earnings.

ERE
What does ERE earn with a BYD?
At 15,000 km a year, all charged at home, the BYD models here earn about €295 to €375 a year in ERE, after the median commission of 20%. That difference comes only from the measured consumption: the BYD Atto 3 at 160 Wh/km to the BYD Seal U at 205 Wh/km. More Wh/km means fewer kilometres per kWh, more kWh charged at the same distance and therefore more ERE. That is not an advantage: each extra kWh earns about €0.12 in ERE but costs about €0.26 in electricity at home. A more efficient car is cheaper overall. Per kWh the brand does not change earnings.
Per kWh, ERE earnings for a BYD are the same as for every other car brand. The brand does not change that amount. Since 1 January 2026, private users need a charger with a built-in MID meter. Do the charger check

Bidirectional charging
Bidirectional charging on a BYD
This is what the sources say about V2L (to a device), V2H (to your home) and V2G (to the grid). A yes applies only as the note describes it. Checked on October 6, 2026.
| Model | V2L | V2H | V2G |
|---|---|---|---|
| BYD Atto 3 | Yes | No | No |
| BYD Seal U | Yes | No | No |
BYD Atto 3
According to ev-database.org all versions have V2L, including the Atto 3 Evo. BYD's European website does not mention it. No V2H or V2G offer is known.
BYD Seal U
V2L according to BYD: the car works as a mobile power bank for household devices. BYD does not state the power or the adapter. No V2H or V2G offer is known.

Questions
Questions about BYD
How much ERE does a BYD earn per year?
As of October 18, 2026, at 15,000 km a year and all charged at home, a BYD earns about €295 to €375 a year in ERE, after the median commission of 20%. Consumption is 160 to 205 Wh/km (WLTP). Per kWh, earnings are the same for every car brand: €0.122.
Which BYD models are listed here?
We cover 2 BYD models, in order of new registrations in the Netherlands in 2024 and 2025: the BYD Atto 3 (160 Wh/km, 1,924 registrations) and the BYD Seal U (205 Wh/km, 1,077 registrations). 3,001 registrations combined (EEA).
Which BYD uses the least energy?
the BYD Atto 3 has the lowest consumption: 160 Wh/km (WLTP), the most kilometres per kWh of the BYD models here. the BYD Seal U has the highest consumption: 205 Wh/km. Lower consumption means fewer kWh charged at the same distance and therefore less ERE, not more. The brand does not change earnings per kWh.
How is the ERE figure for a BYD calculated?
At 15,000 km a year, all charged at home, after the median commission of 20%: about €295 (the BYD Atto 3, 160 Wh/km) to €375 (the BYD Seal U, 205 Wh/km). That difference comes only from the measured consumption (Wh/km, so kilometres per kWh), not from the brand. Per kWh, earnings are the same for every car brand. Since 1 January 2026, private users need a charger with a built-in MID meter; public charging earns you no ERE.
Can I charge a BYD bidirectionally?
Not for the brand as a whole, and only as the source describes it per model. V2L: yes on every model in the data. V2H: no on every model in the data. V2G: no on every model in the data. BYD Atto 3: According to ev-database.org all versions have V2L, including the Atto 3 Evo. BYD's European website does not mention it. No V2H or V2G offer is known. BYD Seal U: V2L according to BYD: the car works as a mobile power bank for household devices. BYD does not state the power or the adapter. No V2H or V2G offer is known. Sources: BYD Europe, Atto 3, ev-database.org, BYD Europe, Seal U, ev-database.org. Checked on October 6, 2026.
Does the car brand matter for ERE?
No. ERE depends on the kWh you charge at home and on the provider (the ERE price and the commission), never on the car brand. Per kWh, earnings for a BYD are the same as for every other brand: 0.33269 ERE per kWh, at €0.460 per ERE (October 18, 2026), after the median commission of 20%, which is €0.122 per kWh. A car with higher consumption (more Wh/km, fewer kilometres per kWh) charges more kWh at the same distance and therefore earns more ERE. That difference comes from the measured consumption, not from the brand.
