Lauderdale, planning a trip in an electric vehicle – even a quick-charging one like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 – usually requires a fair amount of planning to find a charging location, then potentially some waiting while other EV drivers juice up. But Chinese automaker BYD, which last year teased the idea of a 1,000-kilowatt fast charger, put the theory into practice with its Flash Charge station, seen undergoing internal testing at its headquarters in Shenzen, Guangdong.
