Overview
Mains power from your BYD Dolphin
Small jobs suit the Dolphin and this lead best. It gives you an ordinary UK socket at the charge port for a travel kettle, a phone charger or a work laptop wherever the car is parked.
Switching it on
Plug it into the Type 2 charge port, then choose the discharge option on the infotainment screen.
What it will run
Up to 2.5kW of load, depending on the model. A 60W laptop charger, a 45W cool box and LED lights are easy. A standard UK kettle draws about 3kW, which is more than the car will give, so take a 1.5kW to 2kW travel kettle and leave the fan heater at home.
Which car it fits
BYD Dolphin. The car decides whether discharge is available, so the lead only works on models that support V2L. If you are unsure, our car finder will check your registration.
An important warning
A vehicle-to-load lead must never be connected to any other electrical system, such as a house, a caravan hook-up or a generator inlet. There is no voltage or phase synchronisation, so doing it can seriously damage both the car and the other system, and it will void your vehicle warranty.
The lead itself
- 16A cable, 3G1.5 conductor, 10.5mm diameter
- IP44: works in dusty conditions and resists splashes while connected, but must never sit in water
- Black, with a choice of outlet and lengths from 0.5m to 15m
- Keep the rubber dust cap on when it is stored, so grit and moisture stay out of the pins
Other BYD leads are on our BYD V2L page, and every car we cover is in the V2L adapter range.

First class service
First class service. Ordered 15m cable and it was delivered next day. Minor hiccup in that the accompanying bag was missing. Quick email to Jake at EV Cable Hub and the bag arrived next working day. 1st class product and even better customer service. Thank you.
