BYD targets up to 100 flash-charging stations in Indonesia by end-2026
The carmaker says it already has more than 10 stations in Indonesia and claims its technology can fully charge an electric vehicle in nine minutes.
BYD plans to expand its Indonesian flash-charging network to as many as 100 stations by the end of 2026, according to Luther Panjaitan, head of public and government relations at PT BYD Motor Indonesia.
Speaking during Industry Minister Muhammad Sarmuji’s visit to BYD’s factory in Subang, West Java, on 13 November 2026, Luther said the company already had more than 10 such stations operating in Indonesia. The expansion forms part of BYD’s investment plans in the country.
Luther said BYD’s flash-charging technology could deliver up to 1.5 million watts. He claimed it could charge an electric vehicle in about five minutes, while a full charge would take nine minutes.
During the visit, Sarmuji said the government continued to support development of Indonesia’s electric vehicle industry, including greater use of local resources and components. He cited growing public awareness of the green economy and a wider choice of electric vehicles as reasons for his positive market outlook.
The minister also encouraged BYD to consider lifetime battery guarantees similar to those offered by other manufacturers, saying such assurances could increase consumers’ interest in buying electric vehicles.
