Gentari and BYD have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore deploying the latter’s megawatt-level Flash Charging technology in Malaysia. As you may recall, the automaker had previously announced plans to introduce the technology locally back in July, and this latest agreement marks a step towards making that a reality.

To recap, BYD’s Flash Charging technology can deliver up to 1.5MW of power, potentially providing compatible EVs with approximately 400km of driving range in just five minutes under optimal conditions. The proposed collaboration aims to expand ultra-fast charging infrastructure beyond showrooms, particularly along major intercity routes connecting key population centres.
