# Oil giant rips out gas pumps for BYD’s 1,500 kW EV chargers

Sinopec, China’s biggest fuel retailer, just gutted one of its Shanghai gas stations and swapped the pumps for BYD’s 1,500 kW flash chargers.

And this wasn’t a case of bolting a couple of chargers onto the edge of the forecourt. Sinopec pulled the underground gasoline tanks out of the ground and turned the whole site into an EV-only charging hub.

## An oil retailer tears out its own fuel infrastructure

The station sits at 1209 Huqingping Road in Shanghai, and it’s the first site jointly operated under the BYD-Sinopec partnership. Where the fuel storage tanks used to be, there are now BYD’s second-generation Blade batteries buffering the chargers.

A state oil company dug up its own gasoline tanks to make room for battery packs.
