Geely Auto Group Introduces Ultra-Fast AI-Powered Geely Smart Charging

• AI powered charging enables Geely’s fastest production-ready charging performance to date.
• In real-world tests, saw Lynk & Co 10 and Zeekr 001 charge 10% to 70% in 4 minutes 30 seconds, and 10% to 97% in 8 minutes 40 seconds.
• AI thermal management maintains average battery temperature of 55°C and limit peak temperature to under 65°C during fast charging.
• Industry’s first five-point liquid cooling system eliminates bottlenecks by managing heat throughout entire charging chain.
• Lithium-ion pulse restoration technology uses micro-pulse currents to reverse damage from fast charging, adding up to 20% more battery cycle life.
• Next-gen Ultra Short Blade Battery cut heat during charging by 10% while increasing peak charging rate to 6C for affordable models.

NINGBO, China, Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Geely Auto Group today introduced Geely Smart Charging, its next-generation AI-powered charging technology, bringing AI into energy management to deliver faster charging while reducing heat, increasing safety and improving long-term battery health.

At the heart of Geely Smart Charging is Xingrui PowerMind, a smart energy AI model jointly developed by Geely Auto Group and StepFun. By coordinating the vehicle, battery, charging station, cloud, grid and energy storage system, PowerMind allows charging to move beyond conventional power delivery.

The technology debuts alongside the Fifth-Generation Geely Smart Charging Station, which delivers peak charging power up to 2,250 kW, as well as the Next-Gen Ultra Short Blade Battery.

Using AI to Manage Heat Before It Becomes a Problem

Geely’s new AI-powered charging technology uses algorithms to predict battery temperatures up to 30 seconds ahead and adjust charging power dynamically, rather than reacting only after temperatures rise.

The system is designed to keep the battery’s average charging temperature below 55°C, while limiting peak temperature to below 65°C.

It is supported by an end-to-end five-point liquid-cooling system that manages heat across the entire charging chain from the charging station energy-storage battery, charging pile, charging cable, charging port, to battery pack.

From Fast Charging to Intelligent Battery Care

Geely Auto Group is also applying AI to one of the most persistent consumer concerns around ultra-fast charging: its impact on battery longevity.

Geely Smart Charging can create a charging strategy tailored to each vehicle and battery via Xingrui PowerMind adjusting peak current, cooling intensity and charging duration in real time.

The Group has additionally developed lithium-ion pulse restoration technology, which uses micro-pulse currents to reactivate lithium ions accumulated at the negative electrodes during repeated fast charging.

By combining AI charging management with battery restoration technology, Geely is able to increase battery cycle life by 20%.

For home charging, the Group has developed a low-rate charging strategy designed to gradually fix degradation from repeated fast charging and protect battery cells over the battery’s lifecycle.

Taking Ultra-Fast Charging Beyond Raw Power

The Group’s approach pairs high-power charging hardware with AI-based power management that continuously adapts to the vehicle and battery.

The fifth-generation Geely Smart Charging Station supports peak charging power of 2,250 kW and introduces an AI fast charging function that aligns charging power with the battery’s real-time condition.

The Shendun Golden Battery, developed for ultra-fast charging and high performance, supports a peak charging rate of 12C.

In real-world tests, the battery used in the Lynk & Co 10 and Zeekr 001 charged from 10% to 70% in 4 minutes 30 seconds, and from 10% to 97% in 8 minutes 40 seconds — Geely’s fastest production-ready charging performance to date.

Geely Auto Group also introduced the Next-Gen Ultra Short Blade Battery, focused on longevity and safety while improving charging performance. It uses Geely-developed laser-welding technology for cell tabs and covers, cutting heat during charging by 10%. Its peak charging rate rises to 6C.
