BYD’s 10,000th Flash Charging station was inaugurated in Shenzhen. Credit: IThome Understand China EV’s Market Real-time notifications when critical EV data is released All important data in one place 2,000,000+ data points Become a member BYD says its Flash Charging network now has 10,000 stations across China and covers 325 cities. The company also reported cumulative electricity delivery of 210 million kWh. The figures were disclosed at the August 28 inauguration ceremony for the Shenzhen Longhua Flash Charging Flagship Station, which marked the network’s 10,000th station, reports IT Home. BYD Executive Vice President He Zhiqi said the network reached 10,000 stations in less than six months after the company announced its latest Flash Charging technology on March 5. He said the rollout averaged 55 stations per day during that period. Network spans 325 cities. BYD said its Flash Charging stations now cover 325 cities across mainland China. The company identified Hulunbuir in Inner Mongolia, Sanya in Hainan, Shuangyashan in Heilongjiang, and Kashgar in Xinjiang as the network’s northernmost, southernmost, easternmost, and westernmost points. BYD also cited stations in Turpan and near the base of Mount Everest. Its network includes partners such as Sinopec, PetroChina, CNOOC, TELD, JD.com, Alipay, AutoNavi (Amap), and Ucar. BYD has not disclosed how many of the 10,000 stations are associated with each partner or published a complete station-by-station list. More than 1.83 million registered users BYD said more than 1.83 million users have registered with its Flash Charging network, nearly one-third of whom use vehicles from other brands. However, non-BYD vehicles may not be able to draw the same power as compatible BYD models. We previously reported that the Lynk & Co 10 reached a peak of 430 kW at a BYD Flash Charging station, compared with about 1,100 kW at a Zeekr-branded 1,500 kW charger. The difference shows that station output and vehicle-side charging power are separate parameters. BYD did not disclose the total number of charging sessions or the average amount of electricity delivered per session. 20,000 stations remain the year-end target BYD announced in March that it planned to build 20,000 Flash Charging stations in China by the end of 2026, comprising 18,000 urban stations and 2,000 highway stations. The August 28 milestone represents 50% of that target. Meeting the goal by December 31 would require another 10,000 stations over the remaining 125 days, or about 80 stations per day on average. The 55-station daily figure cited by He Zhiqi reflects the average deployment pace since the March 5 announcement and is not a forecast for the remainder of the year. Global rollout and Denza European expansion Alongside its domestic network, BYD plans to deploy 6,000 Flash Charging stations overseas, including 3,000 in Europe. European Flash Charging stations use the CCS2 charging standard, compared with GB/T in China. Denza is also planning an expansion into more than 30 European countries, with more than 150 retail outlets targeted by the end of 2026. Hongqi is set to become the first non-BYD brand to feature BYD’s Second-Generation Blade Battery and Flash Charging technology. FAW-FinDreams has nominated the technology for Hongqi’s next-generation pure-electric platform, though it has not disclosed specific models or production timing. Most important news in your inbox.
