BYD announced Tuesday night that it has deployed more than 7,000 flash charging stations across 325 cities in China, and the company plans to more than double that number by the end of the year.

The announcement came during the launch of the Seal 08 sedan, BYD’s latest EV. The company said it is targeting 20,000 flash charging stations nationwide by December 2026, including 18,000 mid-size stations in urban areas and 2,000 stations on highways.
