Geely turns to 4-minute EV charging, AI in battle with BYD

Geely has unveiled ultra-fast EV charging technology that can charge a vehicle in four minutes. The system uses AI and 2.2 MW charging technology to challenge rival BYD for technological supremacy in the Chinese market. This development reflects a broader industry shift where automakers are moving away from 30-minute top-ups toward ultra-fast solutions. While Geely targets sub-5 minute speeds, other industry players like Sunwoda are also entering the race with systems capable of 10-97% state of charge in 9 minutes.
