Charging

Li Auto will launch its first automated charging station in the second quarter, aiming to reduce driver input for charging.

BYD plans to install its first batch of flash chargers outside of China in the coming weeks.

Analysts said the launch of BYD's second-generation megawatt flash charging system will be a key driver for sales recovery.

Li Auto is one of China's automakers with the largest number of self-operated supercharging stations.

By the end of 2025, China had 4.717 million public charging plugs and 15.375 million private charging connectors.

Li Auto is continuing to expand its supercharging infrastructure as it looks to its BEV models, particularly the Li i6, to boost sales.

Li Auto previously promised that there would be more than 2,500 supercharging stations in China when the Li i8 goes on sale.

BYD has teamed up with Teld and Star Charge to build 1-MW ultra-fast chargers.

These ultra-fast chargers can add 400 kilometers of range to an EV in just 5 minutes.

Nio and Zeekr have reached an agreement to share charging facilities, marking a rare collaboration between two direct competitors.
