The key milestone for fast charging in China: BYD's 10,000th fast charging station has been completed.
On August 28, 2026, the "Flash Charge China" strategy reached a critical milestone. BYD Company Limited continues to expand its network of flash charging stations, with the 10,000th flash charge station, the Shenzhen Longhua flagship station, officially completed. This achievement sets three records for Chinese automotive companies: the largest number of self-built charging stations in the country, the fastest completion of 10,000 charging stations, and the broadest geographic coverage of charging stations nationwide. The extensive flash charging network makes finding a flash charging station as convenient as finding a gas station. Wang Junbao, General Manager of BYD Company Limited's Flash Charge Business, stated that these 10,000 flash charge stations cover 332 cities, with 4,228 being designated dream stations, fulfilling the aspirations of 74,281 users. First- and second-tier cities achieve 100% coverage of flash chargers, and in core cities such as Shenzhen, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Xian, and Chongqing, there is an average of one flash charge station every 3 kilometers in urban areas, making it as easy to find a flash charging station as it is to find a gas station. In third- and fourth-tier cities, the coverage rate also reaches 100%, with flash charge stations available within an average of 4 kilometers in urban areas. From urban centers, rural counties, and expressway networks to tourist routes and extreme landscapes, BYD Company Limited's flash charge stations are ubiquitous. From Hohhot in Inner Mongolia to Sanya in Hainan, from Shuangyashan in Heilongjiang to Kashgar in Xinjiang, even at the highest point on Mount Everest, the hottest place in Turpan, and the most remote location in Horgos, BYD Company Limited's flash charge stations can be found. Good technology is accessible to everyone, genuinely making charging as fast as refueling. With a disruptive charging experience of "5 minutes for a good charge, 9 minutes to a full charge, and only 3 additional minutes at -30," users save time, worry, and money. As of now, the total user count for BYD Company Limited's nationwide flash charge stations has surpassed 1.83 million, with users of other brands accounting for nearly one-third, truly embodying the principle that "good technology is accessible to everyone." Moreover, within less than six months of operation, BYD Company Limited's flash charge stations have exceeded a cumulative electricity charging volume of 210 million kilowatt-hours, setting the industry's fastest record. At the flash charge station in Beijing's Jindu Automotive City on August 22, a single charging gun delivered more than 2,983 kilowatt-hours in a day, serving 54 vehicles within that same day. BYD Company Limited's flash charging not only matches the speed of traditional refueling but also achieves a similar turnover rate. Collaborating with multiple parties to build a flash charging ecosystem, creating a one-stop service system. BYD Company Limited adheres to the principle of openness and sharing, partnering with collaborators to jointly build an efficient and convenient flash charging ecosystem. The company has established deep cooperation with Sinopec, PetroChina, China Resources, Shell, and TELD. Previously, the first flash charging flagship station in East China, co-built with Sinopec Easy Joy, has already launched in Shanghai Hongqiao. In terms of ecological services, BYD Company Limited has collaborated with Alipay, Amap, JD.com, and others to continuously enhance seamless payment, optimize mapping services, and enrich station supporting facilities, creating a comprehensive service system that integrates "vehicle charging, energy availability, and human life." Building upon the new starting point of 10,000 stations, moving from "Flash Charge China" to "Flash Charge Planet." BYD Company Limited is accelerating the construction of its flash charging network and aims to complete the domestic target of 20,000 flash charging stations by the end of this year, achieving "wherever there are roads, there will be flash charges." Furthermore, BYD Company Limited is steadily advancing its global flash charging layout and plans to establish 6,000 flash charging stations overseas, with implementations already underway in Europe and America. BYD Company Limited consistently pursues its three major green dreams, achieving three "world firsts": the first in the world to announce the cessation of fuel vehicle production, the first in the world to achieve the off-line production of ten million-level new energy vehicles, and the first in the world to realize the large-scale integration of photovoltaic energy storage and charging technology. In the future, BYD Company Limited will position flash charging technology as a new business card for Shanxi Guoxin Energy Corporation in its international expansion, completing the transition from "Flash Charge China" to "Flash Charge Planet," and supporting the global transition to electric vehicles.
