Flash Charging Technology Promises to Transform Electric Refueling with 800 Units Installed in the Country by 2026
BYD officially confirmed, in November 2025, that it will install 800 units of the Flash Charging supercharger in Brazil.
According to the Chinese manufacturer, the equipment has been in operation in China since 2024.
The system dramatically reduces the charging time for electric vehicles.
In just 5 minutes of charging, the system provides about 400 km of range, according to the Chinese CLTC standard.
Additionally, the company claims that Flash Charging is the fastest in the world, with a peak of 2 km per second and power of 1 megawatt (1,000 kW).
The goal is to make the process as fast as refueling a gasoline vehicle.
First Country in the Americas
Brazil will be the first country in the Americas to receive the ultrafast charging system.
BYD expects that all 800 stations will be installed by the end of 2026.
This move marks an important step in the expansion of national electric mobility.
On the global stage, the manufacturer expects to reach 6,000 units in operation in the coming years.
The strategy strengthens BYD’s global leadership in charging infrastructure.
The company emphasizes that the investment in Brazil reflects confidence in the local market.
This market has grown exponentially in electric vehicle sales since 2023, according to data from the Brazilian Electric Vehicle Association (ABVE).

Technology and Compatibility
To use the new Flash Charging, the vehicle needs to be based on the BYD Super e-Platform, which offers maximum efficiency.
This platform is the first 1,000-volt high voltage architecture designed for mass-produced passenger cars.
As a result, the structure can support high energy currents without compromising safety or performance.
This ensures extremely fast charging, greater electrical stability, and reduced energy consumption, according to the manufacturer.
Additionally, the automaker states that the platform integrates intelligent systems capable of automatically adjusting power during the charging process.
Thus, the technology prevents overheating, battery wear, and energy waste, resulting in superior efficiency.

Compatible Models and Performance
The first vehicles compatible with the system are the new BYD Han and BYD Tan, both developed on this innovative architecture.
These models were launched globally in 2024 and arrived in Brazil in early 2025, consolidating the brand’s technological presence.
Both feature 580 kW motors, a top speed of 305 km/h, and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds.
Therefore, they are established as the most sophisticated models of the brand in the country, combining sporting performance and energy efficiency.
Furthermore, to support the charging power, the vehicles received reinforcements in battery, motor, power system, and air conditioning.
These structural improvements make the vehicles even more stable and resilient.
Additionally, they feature silicon carbide (SiC) chips — the first of this type used in mass-produced cars, according to BYD.
