en.Wedoany.com Reported - BYD Australia is studying the feasibility of building its own public electric vehicle charging network to support its proprietary flash charging system. Stephen Collins, Chief Operating Officer of the brand, stated that the company is considering multiple options, including an initial rollout at Denza premium brand dealerships in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, with future expansion to the BYD dealer network.

Collins explained that flash charging technology makes it possible to create standalone charging stations. The technology offers charging power of up to 1500kW, capable of charging a compatible battery from zero to 97% capacity in nine minutes. In contrast, the most powerful chargers currently available in Australia have a capacity of 400kW. Due to the fast charging speed, this opens up new possibilities for specific charging locations, distinguishing them from destination chargers at shopping centers and hotels.

Collins stated that flash charging technology helps alleviate consumer concerns about EV charging time. He emphasized that charging time has always been a barrier, and this technology is designed specifically to address it, becoming a significant factor from next year onward.

The flash charging system is exclusive to the BYD and Denza brands and requires the company's latest 1000V-capacity blade battery, meaning vehicles from other brands cannot be compatible with the flash chargers.
