BYD completes 2,000th flash charging highway station, achieving annual target ahead of schedule
On September 24, BYD inaugurated its 2,000th flash charging highway station at the Baoying service area on the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, completing its annual construction target ahead of schedule. The station serves as a key charging hub on the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, marking full coverage of flash charging stations along that route. BYD has now built 11,586 flash charging stations across 341 cities in China, covering 278 national, provincial, and metropolitan expressways, with full coverage on 22 major expressway trunk lines. The company's flash charging technology claims to provide a charging experience of '5 minutes to full charge, 9 minutes to full charge, and only 3 minutes more at minus 30°C.' The second-generation Blade battery has passed rigorous safety tests, including a bottom impact test ten times stricter than the national standard and thermal diffusion verification four times the national standard. BYD has upgraded the battery warranty policy to include lifetime warranty for the battery cells and a 2.5% improvement in capacity retention rate. BYD plans to build 20,000 flash charging stations nationwide by the end of 2026 and is also advancing a global expansion with a target of 6,000 overseas flash charging stations.
BYD Chief Scientist Says Company Plans 90,000 Charging Stations in Two Years to Match Gas Station Density
At the 2026 World New Energy Vehicle Conference in Haikou, Hainan, BYD Chief Scientist and Automotive Engineering Research Institute President Lian Yubo outlined the company's ambitious charging network expansion plan.

Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD announced on September 23 that the inauguration ceremony for its 2,000th highway flash charging station will be held on September 24. This milestone means there will be an average of one flash charging station every 100 kilometers on Chinese highways, fully operational before the National Day holiday travel peak. According to BYD's previously announced plan, the company aims to build 20,000 flash charging stations nationwide by the end of 2026, including 18,000 urban stations and 2,000 highway-specific stations covering nearly one-third of highway service areas. As of August 28, BYD had already surpassed 10,000 total flash charging stations in China. All stations are open to new energy vehicles of all brands. The flash charging technology features a maximum charging voltage of 1,000V, current of 1,000A, peak power of 1 megawatt (1,000 kW), and a charging rate of 10C, enabling 1 second to charge 2 kilometers and 5 minutes to charge 400 kilometers. Some chargers can deliver up to 1,500 kW per gun, charging from 10% to full in under 9 minutes. The system automatically matches the vehicle's maximum supported charging power. BYD's second-generation blade battery, released in March, works synergistically with the flash charging technology, supporting 5-minute charging from 10% to 70%, with only a 3-minute slowdown in -30°C conditions. The charging stations are equipped with energy storage systems to release high power instantly without straining the power grid.
