SHEFIK: jestli se tam Cina dostane, tak Evrope ujede vlak a hafan tu bude stekat jeste dalsich 100 let

BYD plans 20,000 flash-charging stations by 2026.
• ~1.5 MW charging power
• 1000-V EV architecture
• 18,000 “station-within-a-station” deployments added inside existing charging hubs
That’s massive rollout speed.
But the most interesting part is what this means for the grid.
Critics have spent years claiming EV charging will strain power grids.
Yet ultra-fast charging networks are evolving in the exact opposite direction.
To deliver megawatt charging bursts, these sites will almost certainly include large onsite battery storage.
That changes the architecture entirely.
Instead of this:
Grid → charger → EV
You get this:
Grid → station battery → flash charger → EV
The grid slowly fills the station battery, and the battery delivers massive bursts of power to vehicles.
Which means charging hubs can actually:
• smooth grid demand
• absorb excess solar & wind
• provide peak-shaving
• stabilize frequencyc
And importantly:
When those large station batteries aren’t being used for charging, surplus power can be sold back to the grid during peak demand periods.
Charging demand and grid demand rarely peak at the same time, meaning these hubs can act as flexible energy assets, not just chargers.
In other words:
Charging networks begin behaving like distributed energy storage infrastructure.
The EV ecosystem becomes layered storage:
Solar & wind
→ grid batteries
→ charging station batteries
→ EV batteries
That’s why the “EVs will break the grid” argument is starting to collapse. The system is evolving into a flexible, distributed energy network.
And with 5-minute charging approaching petrol refuelling times, the final psychological advantage of combustion is disappearing.
Lower operating cost.
Simpler drivetrains.
Cleaner energy.
Now similar refuelling time.
This isn’t just a battery upgrade. It’s another step in the Bettrification of the entire energy and mobility system. ⚡🔋
