BYD sub-brand Fang Cheng Bao has launched the Tai 7 EV equipped with flash charging technology, adding pure electric options to its best-selling SUV (sport utility vehicle) model.
The Tai 7 EV flash charging edition officially hit the market on Wednesday, with the pure electric SUV starting at 199,800 yuan ($29,230).
The all-new pure electric SUV is offered in two rear-wheel-drive configurations with different ranges, and initial deliveries are expected to begin in mid-May.
The Tai 7 EV flash charging edition is equipped with BYD's second-generation Blade Battery and the latest flash charging technology, enabling the battery to charge from 10% to 70% in just 5 minutes, and from 10% to 97% in only 9 minutes.
The version with a 675-kilometer pure electric range starts at 199,800 yuan, while the version with the maximum 755-kilometer range is priced at 209,800 yuan.
The two variants are equipped with second-generation BYD Blade Battery with capacities of 92 kWh and 105.7 kWh, respectively.
Consumers can pay an additional 30,000 yuan to upgrade to the "God's Eye B driving assistance system + four-wheel-drive system" package, an upgrade that includes an intelligent torque control system and four-piston brake calipers.
The vehicle has an overall length of 4,999 millimeters and a wheelbase of 2,920 millimeters. It continues the boxy exterior design and adds a new 201-liter electric frunk.
Inside the spacious cabin, the SUV supports a seven-screen interconnected smart interaction system, which includes a 15.6-inch central display and two rear-seat tablet computers.
Its rear-wheel-drive version is equipped with a drive motor with a peak power of 300 kW (402 hp), while the four-wheel-drive version adds an additional 215 kW front motor to further enhance overall performance.
The rear-wheel-drive version can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 7.3 seconds, and if consumers opt for the four-wheel-drive setup, the acceleration time drops to 4.5 seconds.
The Tai 7 was initially launched in September 2025 as a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, and due to its competitive pricing, it quickly became the best-selling product under the Fang Cheng Bao brand.
The addition of the pure electric models will further enrich the selection matrix for target consumers, which is expected to help the Tai 7 achieve higher sales performance in China's highly competitive new energy vehicle (NEV) market.
