In a significant expansion of its electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, BYD has announced plans to deploy 15,000 megawatt charging stations across China.
This initiative marks an increase from a previous commitment to establish 10,000 stations, highlighting BYD’s ambition to support the burgeoning EV market in the region.
The announcement was made at the 2025 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Auto Show, where BYD unveiled its collaboration with prominent charging operators Xiaoju Charging and LongShine, aiming to open an additional 10,000 and 5,000 megawatt chargers, respectively.
BYD Enhances EV Infrastructure with Major Charging Station Plans
Xiaoju Charging, a key player in the infrastructure sector and the arm of ride-hailing giant Didi, boasts over 8,400 partner merchants catering to approximately 34 million EV drivers. LongShine operates in more than 400 cities across China, further enhancing the reach and accessibility of megawatt charging solutions.
This infrastructure push comes at a time when BYD is seeing remarkable consumer response to its latest EV models, the Han L and Tang L. Both vehicles impressively add up to 400 kilometers (approximately 250 miles) of range in just five minutes, thanks to BYD’s innovative 1,000V/1,000A/1,000kW battery system.
Within their first month on sale, the Han L and Tang L sold 10,483 and 11,406 units, respectively, combining for over 40,000 deliveries and surpassing Tesla’s sales figures in the region.
In comparison, Tesla’s sales across the EU, EFTA, and the UK totaled only 7,261 units, representing a staggering 49% decline year-over-year. This shift in the market could signify a transformative period in the EV industry, as BYD continues to cement its status as a leading player, leveraging both technology and infrastructure to outpace its competitors.
