This three-way partnership further speeds up the deployment of ultra-fast charging infrastructure, allowing users to enjoy an unparalleled "refueling-like" charging experience—anywhere, anytime.

From self-building to co-building: megawatt flash charging network expands rapidly

Since BYD unveiled its megawatt flash charging technology in March 2025, users have been eagerly asking: "When will megawatt charging stations become widely available?"

To deliver on this promise at scale, BYD has now partnered with Xiaoju Charging (10,000 chargers) and Xindiantu (5,000 chargers), diversifying the development model for the flash charging ecosystem.

As the EV charging service platform and subsidiary of Didi, Xiaoju Charging has partnered with over 8,400 merchants and served more than 34 million users already.

Meanwhile, Xindiantu connects over 90% of China’s public charging piles, covering 400+ cities. These collaborations will significantly accelerate the rollout of megawatt flash charging stations, building a nationwide ultra-fast charging network.

Beyond partnerships, BYD had previously announced plans to build 4,000 self-operated megawatt charging chargers, with over 500 already completed across 200+ major cities.

The company is also in talks with other leading charging operators to bring in more investment and expand the network further.

In the near future, highways and urban roads will be lined with megawatt charging stations, making EV charging as convenient as refueling—and giving more users access to the flash charging experience.

Megawatt flash charging: 5-minute charging

In March, BYD became the first automaker to introduce megawatt flash charging technology, debuting it in the Han L and Tang L models.

This breakthrough enables "5-minute charging for 400 km of range"—the fastest mass-produced charging speed in the world—effectively eliminating range anxiety per the company.

The key innovation lies in "full-scenario compatibility." BYD’s proprietary Smart Boost technology ensures seamless compatibility with existing public fast chargers, allowing users to charge at any station without restrictions.

In single-gun charging mode, BYD’s system is 45% faster than industry standards. Additionally, its Dual-Gun Charging technology nearly doubles the power output, turning ordinary public chargers into ultra-fast stations—70% faster than conventional charging.

Han L & Tang L Drive Strong Sales

Since the April 9 launch, the Han L and Tang L—flagship models equipped with megawatt flash charging—have seen overwhelming demand.

BYD sold 10,483 Han L and 11,406 Tang L units in their first month on the market, pushing total Han & Tang family sales past 40,000 units in April.

The technology has fundamentally resolves charging concerns, and the market response confirms users’ confidence in megawatt flash charging.

This three-way partnership marks a new phase in the flash charging ecosystem, combining open technical standards and shared infrastructure development to ensure users can confidently buy megawatt-capable EVs and effortlessly enjoy ultra-fast charging.
