Its original mid-April delivery schedule promised to customers was forced to be postponed to May.In addition, Tai 7 fast-charging vehicles have begun shipping to retail stores in select cities, with mass customer deliveries expected to fully commence in early June.Deliveries of the Bao 8 and Bao 5 fast-charging models to long-awaiting consumers are also slated to officially begin in mid-June.BYD chairman Wang Chuanfu warned on May 15 that vehicle deliveries across several of the company's brands have been affected by tight battery production capacity.The core reason for the capacity squeeze is the company's comprehensive shift to its second-generation Blade Battery products and flash charging technology, which feature the ability to charge to 97% within 9 minutes.Because the transition between old and new technologies inevitably requires halting production to upgrade older lines, the delivery cycles for several of BYD's main selling models have been significantly prolonged recently.Fang Cheng Bao is one of the strongest growing brands under the BYD umbrella, selling 29,138 vehicles in April, a 190.25% year-on-year increase, according to data compiled by CnEVPost.In the January-April period, the brand sold 93,681 vehicles, surging 220.27% year-on-year. <div> Fang Cheng Bao monthly sales 2024 2025 2026 </div> <div> <div> <img width="768" height="432" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://cnevpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026051400553380-768x432.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://cnevpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026051400553380-768x432.jpg"/> </div> <div> BYD to introduce Shark pickup to Fang Cheng Bao lineup in China this year BYD launched the Shark in Mexico in May 2024, a rare move for the company to debut a new model in an overseas market first. </div> </div> <img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://cnevpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026052005411533-scaled.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="1060" height="2048" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://cnevpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026052005411533-scaled.jpg"/>($1 = 6.8103 yuan) </div>
