BYD's first flash charging station in Germany officially opened in May 2026, featuring second-generation flash chargers with a single-gun peak power of 1500kW, six times that of Tesla's V3 Supercharger. Compatible models can charge from 10% to 70% in 5 minutes. BYD plans to build 6000 flash charging stations globally by end of 2026, with 3000 in Europe.
BYD's First German Flash Charging Station Opens
In May 2026, BYD's first flash charging station in Germany officially began operations. The station features BYD's second-generation flash charger, released in March 2026, with single-gun peak charging power of 1500kW. For comparison, Tesla V3 Supercharger peaks at 250kW, and V4 at approximately 375kW. BYD's charger is 6 times more powerful than V3 and 4 times more powerful than V4.
Key Data Points:
- Single-gun peak power: 1500kW, 6x Tesla V3
- 5 minutes from 10% to 70%, 9 minutes to 97%
- At minus 30°C, charging time only 3 minutes longer than normal temperature
- 6000 stations planned globally by end of 2026, with 3000 in Europe
Second-Gen Blade Battery and Flash Charging
With the second-generation Blade Battery, compatible models can charge from 10% to 70% in 5 minutes, and to 97% in 9 minutes. This charging speed approaches traditional refueling times, fundamentally solving range anxiety.
Global Flash Charging Network Plan
BYD plans to build 6000 flash charging stations overseas by the end of 2026, with 3000 in Europe. Germany, as Europe's largest auto market and industrial center, becomes the first overseas station for BYD, carrying symbolic significance.
Implications for Overseas Buyers
BYD's German flash charging station represents a typical case of Chinese EV technology export. For buyers in Central Asia and Russia, choosing Chinese EV brands may mean access to equivalent ultra-charging services in the future.
EX1000.COM will continue monitoring Chinese automakers' overseas charging network deployment, providing overseas buyers with the latest technology updates and procurement references.
