Chinese automobile manufacturer Geely launched Geely Smart Charging, an ultra-fast AI-powered charging system on September 23 in Ningbo, China, featuring real-world demonstrations. The new technology introduced by Geely significantly reduces charging time, charging an electric vehicle from 10% to 70% in 4.5 minutes and to 97% in 8 minutes and 40 seconds.
The core components used in building this efficient charging technology include Xingrui PowerMind AI to adjust power dynamically, Fifth-Gen Charging Station (C12) that delivers power up to 2,250 kW (2.25 MW) per connector, Next-Gen Ultra Short Blade Battery that reduces charging heat by 10% and supports ultra-fast charging speed, and Lithium-Ion Pulse Restoration Tech, which uses micro-pulse currents and a 5-point liquid-cooling system to increase battery cycle life by 20%.
The technology combines 2.25 MW of charging power with a high-rate battery designed to store a large amount of electrical power in a very short time interval. The company says this technology is introduced to address a major problem in EV adoption: charging vehicles for long hours compared with traditional refueling.
The company is also incorporating artificial intelligence in this charging solution to monitor battery conditions and dynamically manage parameters such as temperature and charging performance during a charging state. Using artificial intelligence in high power charging solution is aimed at making fast charging more practical while maintaining battery safety.
