Xixian battery base reaches full production
At the end of September, BYD's new energy vehicle power battery project in Qinhan New City, Xixian New Area, was fully completed and put into production. The base represents a total investment of 7 billion yuan and has an annual capacity of 16GWh.
The base entered trial production of second-generation blade batteries in March and is one of the first production bases for the second-generation blade battery, as well as a core carrier for mass production of flash-charging technology. The base's first cell line rolled off in October 2025, and it has now formed a complete manufacturing process from electrode preparation and cell production to battery pack integration and system testing.
BYD builds 11,586 flash-charging stations
As of September 24, BYD had cumulatively built 11,586 flash-charging stations, including 2,000 expressway flash-charging stations covering 278 expressways. On August 28, the 10,000th flash-charging station landed in Shenzhen, covering 332 cities.
On the day the second-generation blade battery was released in March, BYD also launched "Flash Charging China" and proposed building 20,000 flash-charging stations by the end of the year.
The flash-charging technology provides a single-gun power of 1,500kW. At room temperature, charging from 10% to 70% takes 5 minutes, and charging from 10% to 97% takes 9 minutes. To address grid capacity limits at some sites, BYD has also introduced a super fast-discharge energy storage system into the flash-charging system to provide instantaneous high-power output through energy storage.
