Recently, BYD and China Auto Rental (神州租车) formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement for the 'Flash Charging China' initiative, along with a framework agreement for the procurement of 100,000 vehicles in Shenzhen. The two parties have reached in-depth cooperation on the 'Flash Charging China' strategy, jointly promoting the upgrade of green mobility infrastructure and the high-quality, sustainable development of the car rental industry.
Flash Charging Empowers 100,000 Vehicles for 'Mileage Freedom'
According to the agreement, BYD and China Auto Rental will collaborate deeply around the 'Flash Charging China' strategy. They will install BYD flash charging stations at eligible神州租车 locations nationwide, building a widespread, efficient, and convenient charging network to enhance the user travel experience.
The large-scale application of flash charging technology will also become key to improving the rental travel experience. Notably, with extreme charging efficiency of '5 minutes to full charge, 9 minutes to fully charge, and only 3 minutes more at minus 30 degrees Celsius,' it effectively resolves long-standing charging and range anxiety for rental car users. BYD plans to complete the construction of 20,000 flash charging stations by the end of this year, making flash charging truly ubiquitous across China. In the future, rental car users need only a short stop during their trip to quickly recharge their vehicle, truly achieving 'charge on arrival, travel freely' with mileage freedom.
Powerful Alliance Drives New Trends in Rental Travel
In China, as the younger generation's consumption concepts evolve, charging infrastructure continues to improve, and the population of 'licensed but carless' individuals expands, the mindset of long-term car ownership is gradually shifting toward renting new models and experiencing new technologies. The travel philosophy of 'light ownership, heavy experience' is accelerating in popularity.
The deep cooperation between BYD and China Auto Rental allows more users to experience the latest flash charging technology. At the same time, BYD provides after-sales policies for commercial vehicles, including an extended warranty of 6 years or 600,000 kilometers for the battery, motor, and electronic control system, reducing operating costs and risks for rental companies.
With a broad user base and scene advantages, China Auto Rental and BYD will take the 'Flash Charging China' strategy as an opportunity to jointly promote the deep integration of new energy infrastructure and mobility services, bringing users a more efficient and convenient green travel experience.
This cooperation is not only a deep integration of vehicle supply and scene application but also an innovative exploration of integrated 'vehicle, charger, store, and station' services, jointly driving China's mobility industry toward greener, smarter, and more intensive development.
