📌 MAROKO133 Hot ai: China’s BYD tests record-breaking 1,500 kW flash charger in Sh

Chinese EV giant BYD is moving closer to launching its next-generation ultra-fast charging network, having been spotted running internal tests of its megawatt-level Flash Charging system in Shenzhen. 

The trials follow previous leaks revealing a 1,500 kW charger and a dedicated Flash Charging app. Observers on-site shared photos of a demonstration station near BYD’s headquarters, showing high-power cabinets that look ready for commercial deployment.

The layout resembles a conventional fuel station, complete with T-shaped gantries and liquid-cooled charging guns. Leaked images suggested peak outputs of 1,500 kW and currents of 1,500 A on a 1,000 V architecture. During testing, only vehicles displaying a “Flash Charge” badge – such as the Tang 9, Song Ultra, Seal 07, Denza Z9 GT, and FCB Tai-series – were allowed to plug in.

BYD restricts Flash Charging to vehicles supporting over 1,000 kW

Only vehicles capable of handling over 1,000 kW of input power were reportedly allowed to use BYD’s new Flash Charging system, with charging automatically stopping at 97% state of charge. Early users have shared screenshots indicating that the dedicated Flash Charging app is already live on Android. 

The app lets drivers locate nearby stations and supports automatic plug-and-charge activation. Once enabled, charging reportedly starts within about 10 seconds of plugging in, eliminating the need for QR code scanning. Previous leaks also showed integration with Sesame Credit, hinting at a seamless, credit-based user experience, CarNewsChina reported.

At the Shenzhen demonstration site, BYD revealed preliminary pricing for its Flash Charging network, showing a rate of 1.3 yuan per kWh. This is divided into 1.0 yuan for electricity and 0.3 yuan for a service fee, roughly equivalent to 0.18 USD per kWh. The cost is competitive for ultra-fast megawatt-level charging, especially when compared with traditional public chargers. 

Early reports indicate that buyers of vehicles compatible with the Flash Charging system could receive up to 1,000 kWh of free electricity each year, providing a significant incentive for adoption. However, BYD has yet to release formal policy documentation, leaving some details on eligibility and implementation unconfirmed.

BYD megawatt chargers aim to outpace Tesla 

Recent reports from Chinese media confirm that Tesla’s V4 Superchargers in China deliver up to 500 kW of peak power for passenger vehicles, while the majority of public DC fast chargers across the country operate between 250 and 600 kW. By comparison, the 1,360–1,500 kW hardware revealed in earlier BYD leaks would deliver nearly three times the peak output of Tesla’s V4 chargers and more than double the upper limit of most mainstream public chargers, marking a significant leap in megawatt-level EV charging capability.

Industry sources suggest BYD could be aiming to deploy more than 4,000 self-operated Flash Charging stations across China, while broader partner networks might push the total number of accessible locations beyond 15,000. Furthermore, collaborators are expected to include providers like XiaoJu Charging, expanding coverage significantly, despite not having an official nationwide rollout plan.

Currently limited to internal testing though, BYD’s Flash Charging system is expected to have verified performance metrics – including sustained peak power curves, five-minute range recovery data, and large-scale rollout plans.
