BYD Flash Charging is coming to the UK in 2026. BYD UK confirmed this week they're targeting 200 Flash Charging stations here by end of year — first station at BYD's Uxbridge HQ, before the Denza Z9GT arrives in August or September. The system delivers 1,500kW — four times faster than the fastest rapid chargers currently on UK motorways. Open to all EVs via CCS2 connectors.Car tax changed on 1 April. The Expensive Car Supplement threshold for EVs moved from £40,000 to £50,000 — saving buyers of the Tesla Model Y, Kia EV6, BYD Seal and Hyundai Ioniq 6 over £2,200. BiK rate changed from 3% to 4% — still five times cheaper than petrol on company car tax.Public charger reliability: legal requirement is 99% uptime. Actual first-time success rate: 71%. Only 3.9% of UK operators meet the legal standard. I look at why — payment terminals, back-end API failures, physical maintenance issues.T&E UK and EVA England joint letter to government: social leasing of EVs for £77/month for lower-income households. France launched a similar scheme in December 2023 — planned for 25,000, got 90,000 applications.ZEV mandate formal review confirmed for 2026. Manufacturers currently averaging £11,000 discount per EV to hit targets. 2026 is likely the peak competitive pricing window for UK EV buyers.──────────────────⚡ FREE: Join the Primetime EV ClubCheapest public charging rates every month · Best lease deals · Weekly EV digest👉 primetimeev.com/club📧 club@primetimeev.com──────────────────
