Geely's New EV Charger Is Absurdly Powerful: 2.2 Megawatts

Imagine plugging in your electric car at a public fast-charging station and getting back on the road after just four minutes. That’s now a reality in China, where Geely Auto Group has revealed a bleeding edge charging system that appears to be the world’s fastest.

The automaker revealed its fifth-generation Smart Charging System and a new Ultra Short Blade Battery on Wednesday. The new charger can deliver a whopping 2.25 megawatts of peak charging speeds. This basically obliterates any Western EV and charging system and also one-ups rivals like BYD, which made a big splash last year by rolling out its 1.5 MW Flash chargers. Geely and BYD have been locked in a battle over fast-charging speeds.

Supported by a new battery system, EVs from Geely Auto Group brands Lynk & Co and Zeekr can charge in the real world from 10-70% in just 4 minutes and 30 seconds, Geely claimed. A 10-97% charge will take 8 minutes and 40 seconds. BYD’s Flash chargers can do the 10-70% charge in about five minutes and 10-97% in 9 minutes.

Pumping electrons into a battery at such blistering speeds can be detrimental to the cells if not properly managed. The automaker said it was using an AI-powered system called Xingrui PowerMind to predict battery temperatures and adjust speeds dynamically. It’s designed to keep the battery’s average temperature at 55 degrees Celsius, with a ceiling of 65 degrees Celsius.

” It manages heat in a coordinated manner between the battery pack, charging port, charging cable, charging dispenser, and the energy storage batteries supporting the chargers.
