Recently, our backend has been flooded with questions: "Can electric cars really handle long-distance trips? Is self-driving reliable?" Coincidentally, the recently concluded 2026 Silk Road 10,000-Li Journey, from the ancient capital Xi'an to Singapore, the "Lion City", took 33 days, covering over 10,000 kilometers. BYD answered this with a practical "extreme condition test".

Running electric cars for long distances, what do people fear most? Queuing for two hours, charging for five. But on this Silk Road 10,000-Li Journey, models from the Dynasty Series, Ocean Series, Denza, Fang Cheng Bao, and Yangwang all used supercharging. They went from 10% to 70% in 5 minutes, reaching 97% in 9 minutes, saying goodbye to the "Charging Daddy".

What does this mean? It's just enough time to buy a cup of coffee or use the restroom at a service area, and the car is "back to full power". Currently, over 10,000 supercharging stations have been built nationwide, and this number may break 20,000 by year-end, turning the slogan "charging as fast as refueling" into daily reality.

Long-distance driving tests the driver's stamina. For this Silk Road 10,000-Li Journey, the Sky-Eye Intelligent Driving Assist system was online throughout. Intelligence driving capability trained on real driving data exceeding 220 million kilometers per day became the fleet's most reliable "invisible co-pilot" on highways during navigation and in urban congestion areas.

Here we must mention BYD's vision: pioneering the "Double Guarantee" policy. Lifetime smart parking safety guarantee for all products equipped with Sky-Eye, and a 1-year guarantee for Sky-Eye A/B urban navigation functions. In this way, everyone has more confidence in Sky-Eye and can use it with peace of mind.

After talking about the event, let's focus on Singapore. Choosing Singapore for the finale is deeply meaningful. As everyone knows, the Singapore Certificate of Entitlement (COE) is the most expensive globally, market entry barriers are extremely high, and consumers have discerning eyes. Under such a market environment, BYD not only didn't start a price war, but even sold at higher prices than domestically.

The result? As of July 2026, BYD topped the Singapore passenger car sales for all brands for 19 consecutive months! The market share for the first 7 months of this year reached 24.7%, and the pure electric market share occupied 40.3%! In the eyes of Singaporeans, BYD is a high-end brand "high price but worth it".

Behind this is not simply the export of new energy vehicles, but the industrial ecosystem going global, from the technology premium of Blade Batteries and DM Super Hybrids to overseas factories and our own Ro-Ro fleets. Even Brazil has incorporated BYD charging standards into regulations.

Final Thoughts

Silk Road journey, green energy companion. This 10,000-Li Journey showed me the ultimate form of Chinese automakers going global: not to engage in involution, but to conquer. Let Chinese new energy vehicles, like silk, porcelain, and tea from a thousand years ago, walk out of China and conquer the world. The Singapore finale is not the end, but a new starting point for Chinese cars to sprint with all their might!
