BYD Wants To Bring 5-Minute EV 'Flash' Charging To Canada
- BYD North America is hiring a Flash Charging Business Development Manager in Toronto to support its expansion strategy and network development across Canada.
- Earlier this year, Canada announced a 6.1% tariff on 49,000 Chinese EVs annually, prompting BYD to bring its 'Flash Charging' network to the country.

- BYD aims to install 3,000 chargers in Europe by 2027 and has deployed 4,239 in China, while facing competition from North American chargers capping out at 350 kW.
