In 2025, the company decided to electrify its fleet to align with China’s strong shift towards New Energy Vehicles. The new framework agreement for up to 100,000 BYD vehicles builds on an existing partnership. Roughly a year ago, Car Inc launched an initial trial with 3,000 plug-in hybrids of the BYD Qin Plus DM-i model. At the time, the company stated its primary aim was to meet growing demand for short-term rental cars. The trial proved successful, as just a few weeks later, BYD and Car Inc formalised a strategic partnership. Under this agreement, the rental company integrated 30,000 BYD vehicles into its fleet last year alone. Reports on the new framework agreement specify only the volume of up to 100,000 vehicles, with no details on contract duration, minimum purchase quantities, or financial terms. BYD’s extensive range of plug-in hybrids and battery-electric vehicles allows Car Inc to select from various drivetrain types, body styles, and price categories. One thing is clear: Car Inc will not limit itself to plug-in hybrids or small and compact models. The new partnership also includes the installation of BYD fast chargers at Car Inc locations across China. These will feature BYD’s new Flash Chargers, which can charge an electric vehicle from 10 to 97 per cent in just nine minutes using megawatt-level charging power. However, this requires the vehicle to be equipped with BYD’s second-generation Blade Battery, which BYD introduced in early March alongside the Flash Charger. During the event, BYD also presented ten vehicles compatible with the new battery and megawatt charging capability. With Flash Chargers at its own rental stations and the expanding network of publicly accessible Flash Chargers in China—BYD plans to build 20,000 of these charging stations this year alone—the car rental experience for Chinese consumers is set to change fundamentally. Charging times are increasingly approaching the duration of a conventional refuelling stop, meaning customers will hardly need to adjust even when renting an electric vehicle. Another factor likely to have influenced Car Inc’s decision is BYD’s tailored warranty terms for commercially used vehicles. Key components such as the motor, battery, and control units are covered for six years or 600,000 kilometres, which is expected to reduce operating costs and risks for large fleet operators. cnevpost.com, gasgoo.com ### Related Stocks - [BYDDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BYDDY.US.md) - [BYDDF.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BYDDF.US.md) - [002594.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/002594.CN.md) - [01211.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/01211.HK.md) - [516380.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/516380.CN.md) - [CARZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CARZ.US.md) - [515030.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/515030.CN.md) - [HYDD.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HYDD.SG.md) - [81211.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/81211.HK.md) ## Related News & Research - [BYD is upgrading its top selling EVs with 5-min flash charging and nearly 400 miles of range](https://longbridge.com/en/news/285983391.md) - [BYD launches paid screen upgrade service as China EV price war squeezes profits](https://longbridge.com/en/news/285891603.md) - [BYD eyes Stellantis EU plant takeover as EV demand spikes, confirms ‘other companies too’](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286278463.md) - [BYD puts 500th electric bus on Japanese roads](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286255793.md) - [Chinese EV Maker BYD Eyeing-Up Factory Deals in European Expansion Drive](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286252348.md)
