- BYD is expanding its high-speed 'Flash Charging' network to Canada, marking its first North American deployment.
- The Flash Charging system offers 1,500 kW power, enabling 250 miles of range in 5 minutes, even at -20°C.
- BYD is hiring a business development manager in Toronto to lead network expansion, including grid upgrades and station construction.
- This move follows Canada's reduction of EV tariffs and BYD's plans for 20 dealerships, with vehicle launches expected by 2027.
- The strategy mirrors Tesla's Supercharger approach, aiming to alleviate charging anxiety, especially in winter, to boost EV adoption.
