BYD Malaysia will launch its Flash Charge network on Nov 19, starting with selected Denza showrooms.
For a wider rollout, BYD has signed an agreement with Gentari to study potential sites along major intercity routes and assess what power supply and battery storage each site would need.
To prepare the Denza Z9GT for the new chargers, BYD began rolling out an over-the-air (OTA) update on Nov 10.
The software changes how the car manages power delivery and battery temperature during high-speed charging. BYD said a compatible Flash Charger can take the Z9GT from 10% to 70% in five minutes.
The update also revises cruise control, traffic sign recognition and automated parking.
Owners will get a notification on the car’s central display and can choose when to install the update. Installation takes about two hours, during which the car must stay parked and unused.
