BYD has upgraded its Flash Chargers, first unveiled late last year, to deliver even faster charging: from 10% to 70% in five minutes and a full charge in about nine minutes, adding over 600 miles of range—rivaling gas pump speeds.

BYD maintained its dominance in China's new energy vehicle market in 2025, capturing 27.2% share despite a 6.3% sales decline. Tesla ranked fifth with 4.9% share after a 4.8% drop in retail sales. Both companies faced challenges amid rising competition.

Chinese automaker BYD has surpassed Tesla to become the world's largest seller of electric vehicles in 2025, with sales of 2.26 million units compared to Tesla's 1.64 million deliveries. Tesla's figures mark a second consecutive annual decline of 9 percent, driven by the end of U.S. tax credits and intensifying global competition. Despite the sales drop, Tesla's stock rose about 11 percent for the year amid optimism over future technologies like robotaxis.
