  "account": "Geely has unveiled a new ultra-fast electric vehicle charging system capable of charging compatible EVs from 10% to 70% in approximately 4.5 minutes. The technology positions Geely among Chinese automakers striving to minimize EV charging durations to match conventional fuel refueling. Introducing Geely Smart Charge, the new system merges megawatt-level charging hardware with artificial intelligence-driven battery and thermal management technology. Geely asserts the charger's peak output at 2,250kW (2.25MW) via a single charging gun. During testing, a Lynk & Co 10 equipped with the latest battery technology charged from 10% to 70% in around 4.5 minutes and achieved 97% charge in 8 minutes and 40 seconds. To manage battery temperature, a critical concern with megawatt-level charging, Geely employs its Xingrui PowerMind energy model. This AI-based system forecasts battery temperature shifts and adjusts charging power in real-time, ensuring the battery remains within safe thermal limits while sustaining higher charging speeds. Geely's accompanying Aegis Golden Brick battery technology represents the company's advanced 12C battery, utilized in models such as the Lynk & Co 10 and Zeekr 001. The 6C battery, capable of charging from 10% to 70% in about 8 minutes and 25 seconds, is set to debut in the upgraded Geely Galaxy E5. However, the 4.5-minute charging time applies exclusively to vehicles fitted with the more powerful battery technology and compatible charging equipment. Geely's new charger enters the competition for faster EV charging with BYD, which has already launched fast-charging technology enabling vehicles to reach 97% charge in approximately nine minutes. As China's EV market increasingly pivots from range to charging speed, Geely's charger joins the race to make EV charging stops as swift as traditional fuel refueling. Despite advancements in charging technology, the widespread adoption hinges on the availability of charging infrastructure. Vehicles equipped for megawatt-level charging require compatible charging stations to deliver these speeds in practical settings. Geely aims to augment its charging network in China to exceed 100,000 charging guns, including over 50,000 Geely Smart Charge units, by the end of 2027. The company has also extended eligible battery warranties from eight years or 150,000 km to eight years or 200,000 km and intends to offer charging credits to purchasers of compatible vehicles. For Pakistan, Geely is poised to enter the automotive market with electric vehicles like the Geely EX5 SUV, based on the Galaxy E5 platform in China. However, the availability of high-speed charging infrastructure in Pakistan is crucial to realizing the full benefits of upcoming EV technologies for local buyers.",
