Fang Cheng Bao, general manager of Xiong Tianbo, said on May 19 that deliveries of the Tai 3 flash-charge SUV lineup have now returned to normal levels after teams were dispatched to multiple manufacturing bases to increase output capacity. According to Xiong, staff were sent to production facilities in Shaanxi, Anhui, and Zhengzhou in recent weeks to support manufacturing operations and help resolve supply bottlenecks affecting flash-charge vehicle deliveries. Battery supply bottleneck The update follows BYD’s recent acknowledgement that production of Blade Battery 2.0 packs had fallen behind rapidly rising demand from its newest fast-charging EV models. Earlier reports said BYD was facing battery shortages amid surging orders for flash-charge vehicles across multiple sub-brands. The company’s latest battery system is being deployed in a growing number of vehicles equipped with ultra-fast charging technology. Pressure on battery supply became more visible after reports that launch timing for the BYD Great Tang SUV was delayed amid more than 100,000 pre-sale orders. The high order volume reportedly strained the allocation of Blade Battery 2.0 packs across BYD’s expanding model lineup. Xiong said all Tai 3 flash-charge variants are now entering regular delivery, including rear-wheel-drive, four-wheel-drive, and models equipped with the God’s Eye B driver-assistance system. More flash-charge models coming BYD is also preparing deliveries for several additional Fang Cheng Bao flash-charge models as battery output improves. According to Xiong, the Tai 7 EV flash-charge version has already begun shipping in some Chinese cities, with large-scale deliveries expected to begin in early June. Deliveries of the Bao 8 and Bao 5 flash-charge versions are expected to start in mid-June. She added that flash-charge vehicle allocation remains tight and said customers who finalise orders earlier are likely to receive vehicles sooner. On May 20, Fang Cheng Bao announced that cumulative sales had exceeded 400,000 vehicles. The company additionally said cumulative sales of the Tai 7 had surpassed 150,000 units. Earlier this month, Fang Cheng Bao launched the Bao 8 and Bao 5 flash-charge versions in China, with starting prices of 299,800 yuan (44,100 USD). Both models use BYD’s second-generation Blade Battery and flash-charging technology. The two SUVs also debuted the DiSus-P Ultra intelligent hydraulic body control system. According to Fang Cheng Bao, the system supports wheel-lift functionality across multiple driving conditions, including vehicle recovery, tyre replacement, and low-speed three-wheel driving. The company said the system offers up to 300 mm of wheel lift ground clearance and 200 mm of suspension height adjustment travel. The company has not disclosed its current Blade Battery 2.0 production capacity. Blade Battery teardown attention Battery supply discussions intensified this month after a third-party teardown of BYD’s latest Blade Battery pack circulated online. The teardown showed a 170-cell battery pack configuration and included a pack that had undergone a 40-hour freezing test before dismantling. The teardown team later defended the approximately eight-hour disassembly process following online criticism regarding teardown procedures. Fang Cheng Bao sales growth Fang Cheng Bao sold 21,138 vehicles in China in April 2026, according to China EV DataTracker data. The figure increased 110.6% year on year and was nearly unchanged from March’s 21,120 vehicles. The brand’s highest monthly sales volume to date occurred in December 2025, when deliveries reached 48,161 units.
