Geely's AI fast charging 'heals' EV batteries for 20% more cycle life
6 hours ago
- Geely's Smart Charging system uses micro-pulse currents to reverse lithium plating damage from fast charging, increasing battery cycle life by up to 20%.
- The new 2.25 MW charger can charge a battery from 10% to 70% in 4.5 minutes, slightly faster than BYD's 1,500 kW system.
- The Xingrui PowerMind AI model predicts battery temperature 30 seconds ahead to optimize charging and cooling, targeting an average of 55°C.
- Geely introduced two batteries: the 12C Shendun Golden Battery and the 6C Next-Gen Ultra Short Blade Battery, enabling fast charging for more affordable EVs.
- A home charging component gradually fixes degradation from fast charging overnight, complementing road trip fast charging.
- The innovation highlights China's lead in EV charging technology, with pulse restoration described as a breakthrough that sounds like magic.
