Chinese Auto Companies Race Ahead on EV Technology, Achieving 5-Minute Ultrafast Charging
- On Wednesday, Geely unveiled a 2.2-megawatt charging system capable of charging an electric vehicle from 10% to 70% in 4.5 minutes, marking the industry's fastest charging speed.
- The technology serves as a direct response to rival BYD, which earlier this year unveiled a flash-charging system capable of charging a battery from 10% to 97% in nine minutes.
- Using an 800-volt electrical system and AI-driven thermal control, the new battery monitors health and manages temperature in real-time. The Galaxy E5 electric SUV will debut the technology later this year.
- Geely executive Zhang Dewang noted the charging speed is "approaching the physical limit," stating that future marginal gains from pursuing even faster speeds will become "increasingly small."
- As Geely seeks to revive sales in China following 11 consecutive months of EV market decline through August, the company leverages its ownership of Lotus and Polestar to expand internationally.
