BYD in Talks to Bring Ultra-Fast Charging Technology to Pakistan

Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD is discussing with its Pakistani partner, Mega Motor Company (MMC), whether to introduce its next-generation ultra-fast charging technology in the country, a senior company executive has said.

Liu Xueliang, Vice President of BYD Co., Ltd. and General Manager of its Asia Pacific Auto Sales Division, made the remarks in an interview with BR Research. He said the company is working with MMC on how the technology could eventually be made available to Pakistani customers.

Mega Flash Charging and the second-generation Blade Battery

The technology in question is BYD's Mega Flash Charging system, which runs on the company's second-generation Blade Battery. Liu said its main benefit is a significant cut in charging time, which he argued makes electric vehicles far more practical for daily use and could speed up the adoption of new energy vehicles.

The system is designed for next-generation vehicles built on the new battery platform. Liu said BYD models already on the road will remain compatible with the charging infrastructure, though they will charge at different speeds.

No timeline yet for Pakistan

Liu did not give a date for when the technology might arrive in Pakistan. He said its introduction would depend on how ready the charging infrastructure is, on discussions with relevant stakeholders, and on future product planning.

Pakistan plant nearing launch

Liu also commented on BYD's manufacturing facility being set up in Pakistan, saying the project is nearing its launch in the second half of 2026. He described it as BYD's sixth facility outside China.

The plant will have an annual production capacity of 25,000 units, which can be scaled up to 50,000 units, according to Liu. He said further details on the project will be shared in due course.

The facility is expected to create more than 1,100 jobs and support sustainable industrialisation, Liu said. He added that it should help avoid an estimated 165,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions by 2034.
