  "account": "Geely Automotive has unveiled its next-generation EV charging system, which can charge a battery from 10% to 70% in just four minutes and 30 seconds using artificial intelligence. This system will be featured on Geely's latest smart-charging station, capable of delivering up to 2,250 kilowatts of peak power. The move intensifies competition between Geely and BYD, as Chinese automakers strive to differentiate themselves through advanced charging technology in a saturated EV market. Geely tested the system on a Zeekr 001 sedan and a Lynk & Co 10 hybrid, both reaching a 97% charge in less than nine minutes. The system predicts battery temperature during charging and adjusts power flow accordingly, preventing overheating and degradation especially at high states of charge. Both Geely and BYD are betting that faster charging will become a significant selling point as China's EV market becomes more competitive. Faster charging times could alleviate one of the primary concerns for electric vehicle owners: long wait times at chargers, particularly for longer trips. Geely has been investing in battery and charging technology to narrow the gap with BYD, China's top-selling auto brand since 2023.",
