BYD Is Bringing Thousands Of 5-Minute EV Chargers To Europe—And Canada Is Next

China’s BYD is shifting its overseas charging business into overdrive.

The EV powerhouse wants to install thousands of its 5-minute Flash Chargers in Europe by the end of the decade.

Then, the company is looking to Canada to expand its footprint.

BYD, the Chinese company that has set its sights on becoming the world’s largest automaker, wants to blanket Europe with thousands of its megawatt-capable EV chargers in the next few years.

The carmaker said it wants to build no fewer than 3,000 of its latest Flash Chargers across the continent by 2027. As a reminder, BYD’s dual DC fast chargers can deliver up to 1,500 kilowatts—that’s 1.5 megawatts—of power, but not all cars can accept such a high input.
