BYD Ends Free Charging at All Campuses, Adds ¥0.1/kWh Service Fee

Starting May 6, 2024, BYD has abolished its policy of providing free charging for new energy vehicles (NEVs) to employees across all its campuses nationwide. The company has begun implementing a fee-based system for AC charging stations, DC charging stations, and flash chargers. The new charging fees consist of two components: electricity charges based on local commercial and industrial time-of-use (peak-valley) tariffs published by the grid operator, plus a fixed service fee of RMB 0.10 per kilowatt-hour. This adjustment applies specifically to BYD-branded NEVs driven by employees. Non-BYD vehicles were generally not permitted to park on campus previously, so the policy primarily affects employees who drive their own BYD-brand vehicles. BYD stated that the change aims to optimize the allocation of charging resources on campus, improve utilization efficiency, and ensure the long-term stable operation of charging infrastructure. Previously, BYD employees who purchased the company’s NEVs enjoyed free on-campus charging along with monthly purchase subsidies ranging from several hundred to several thousand yuan. This policy shift marks the official end of that longstanding employee benefit.
