Absolute garbage. Just stop and think for one second what kind of power delivery is required to do this and you will quickly realize that’s it’s not feasible anywhere other than as a demo.

looks like they are aiming for 20,000 this year and already have 4,239 "In the first two months of this year alone, BYD has already completed 4,239 charging stations" https://carnewschina.com/2026/03/05/byd-unveils-blade-batter...

I'll bite. They dumped a lot of power in a small amount of time. Sounds like the perfect job for a mega capacitor to streamline deployments. Other than the successful technology, Mrs. Lincoln, what are your gripes?

They use a buffer battery, it's quite feasible with that.

Feels like such a waste for marginal gains?

With the range as good as a modern EV the charge time already isn't a particularly that bad. I'd much prefer more chargers (so that you can combine charging with something else you were going to do anyway) than faster ones.

		I tend to agree but I think the strategy here is to convert people who stubbornly cling to gas vehicles because EVs somehow defy their expectations. I have been approached many times at highway rest stops by people who are curious and slightly skeptical about the EV value proposition. They see me hanging around the vehicle for a half hour and think “ugh, no thanks” as if that’s all I do when I travel. What they’re not seeing is that I rarely use public chargers at all, because 99% of my charging is done either at home or at the charger in the parking lot at work. It’s really just road trips. Not to mention, if you’re an ICE owner hanging around long enough at a rest stops to notice that I’m hanging around, are you really that much faster on a road trip?!! Back on topic, I am ok with losing a little efficiency in the fast charging process if it means that more people switch away from a horribly inefficient and polluting technology.

They claim to have rolled out 4000 fast chargers so far.

Although it also says the car that supports the max charging speed hasn’t hit the market yet so seems yet to be proven in the wild.

> Thousands of FLASH Charging stations have already been installed in China, and BYD has committed to a global rollout that will include an initial wave of FLASH Chargers in Europe. Further details on the plans, and how they will support the Z9GT's arrival, will be revealed in due course.

not feasible yet, keep in mind we regularly transport tons of power in the form of gasoline - an absolutely massive (literally) chain of logistics

moving and storing electricity can vastly simplify the process and work like this will mature
