BYD and Yum China Holdings — the conglomerate that owns the KFC brand in China — signed a strategic cooperation agreement earlier this week at BYD’s headquarters in Shenzhen, aiming to install flash charging equipment at KFC drive-thru locations across the country.
Central to the agreement is a concept the two companies are calling “9-minute one-stop human and vehicle refueling,” a nod to BYD’s second-generation Blade battery — introduced in March — which BYD says can bring a vehicle from 10% battery to 97% in nine minutes, a window that lines up neatly with a drive-thru pickup.
