The BYD Atto 3 has USB-A and USB-C as standard on every trim, on the centre console, and an accessory charger can still be worth having because a 12V charger lets you choose a wattage the factory port does not offer. Match the total wattage to your device, roughly 30 W for an iPad and 65 W or more for a laptop, and look for CE or UKCA marks.

What to look for on the listing
- Plug match: usb-a and usb-c standard on every trim from the centre console.
- Total wattage that covers your device (30 W for iPad, 65 W+ for laptop).
- Two-port budget is shared, not additive - ‘65 W + 30 W’ usually splits when both ports draw.
- Cable spec explicit on the listing - a 60 W cable throttles a 100 W charger.
Frequently asked questions
Is a 12V accessory charger safer than a factory USB-C?
Both are safe when they carry CE/UKCA marks. The 12V route lets you pick a wattage the factory port does not offer (typically higher).
Does the BYD Atto 3’s factory USB-C support Quick Charge as well as PD?
Most modern factory USB-C ports support PD only. Quick Charge (Qualcomm’s standard) is more common on aftermarket 12V chargers.
