China’s largest new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturer, BYD Company, has entered into a new partnership with Xiaoju Charging, the EV charging subsidiary of Chuxing Technology Company, to jointly build an intelligent, rapid charging network in the country using their latest charging technologies.
Earlier this year, BYD unveiled its new “Megawatt Flash Charging” technology, which can provide battery electric vehicles (BEVs) with a driving range of up to 400 km with just a five-minute charge.

The two companies are working together to build a network of 10,000 Megawatt Flash Charging stations over the next three years, with the aim of providing a high-quality, rapid charging service for their customers, including private car owners, ride-hailing drivers, logistics operators, and public transport vehicles. Construction of the first charging station is already underway in Nanchang, Jiangxi province.
Xiaoju Charging recently announced that it planned to invest CNY 100 million this year to help charging site operators upgrade their equipment, allowing them to improve their charging services and customer experience. The upgrades include “intelligent acceleration”, smart maintenance, and advanced safety features.
