Chinese carmaker BYD plans to install fast-charging stations capable of delivering 1,000 kW of power in the Netherlands by 2026. According to the company, with these chargers, electric cars can get enough energy to drive around 400 kilometres in just five minutes. AutoWeek reports.


According to BYD, the Netherlands will be one of the first European countries where the brand plans to roll out its so-called Flash Chargers, according to the online platform. The first fast-charging stations are expected to go live in the second quarter of 2026. Initially, the chargers will be placed at BYD dealerships and other in-house locations. Later, the company also wants to realise charging stations at strategic public locations. Exactly how many charging stations there will be is not yet known.

BYD’s new 1,000 kW chargers are more than twice as powerful as the most powerful chargers currently available. By comparison, the Tesla Supercharger V4 stations deliver a maximum power of 500 kW.

Limited number of cars

Charging at 1,000 kW is only possible for a limited number of electric cars for now. Only vehicles with a specially developed battery capable of withstanding such high charging speeds can use it. Currently, only BYD’s own Denza models have this technology.
