China’s energy and auto giant BYD has announced an ultra fast EV charging system that it says is nearly as quick as a fill up at the pumps. BYD, China's largest EV maker, said Monday that its flash-chargers can provide a full charge for its latest EVs within five to eight minutes, similar to the amount of time needed to fill a fuel tank. It plans to build more than 4,000 of the new charging stations across China.

Leading Chinese electric vehicle maker says latest models can charge up as fast as filling a petrol tank

Chinese carmakers are looking to set up manufacturing and assembly plants in Europe as they seek to sell more lower-cost cars in the region to challenge European competitors as demand slows in China, the world's largest car market. Executive vice-president Stella Li said in an interview earlier this month with Automobilwoche that BYD was considering a third facility to serve the European market in the next two years - in addition to the two it is building in Hungary and Turkey - but she did not say where.
