Only weeks after BYD unveiled its groundbreaking “flash charging” technology, Geely has responded with something even more aggressive. Charging from 10% to 70% in just 4 minutes and 22 seconds. That’s not just fast—it’s approaching gasoline-level refueling time. According to official test data, the new system—demonstrated on the Lynk & Co 10—delivers: 10% → 70% in 4 minutes 22 seconds 10% → 80% in 5 minutes 32 seconds 10% → 97% in 8 minutes 42 seconds That’s faster than BYD’s already impressive benchmark: 10% → 70% in ~5 minutes 10% → 97% in ~9 minutes In practical terms, Geely has shaved off critical minutes—the difference between a coffee stop and barely stepping out of your car. **The Technology Behind Geely’s Breakthrough** This isn’t just incremental improvement—it’s a full-stack innovation. **Key Technical Highlights:** 900V high-voltage architecture New “Golden Brick” battery platform Peak charging power of up to 1100 kW Sustained high power even beyond 80% charge This matters because peak power alone doesn’t define real-world charging speed. What Geely appears to have achieved is something more important: A flatter charging curve, meaning the car maintains extremely high speeds for longer. The rivalry is now crystal clear: Metric Geely (Lynk & Co 10) BYD Flash Charging 10–70% Charge 4 min 22 sec ~5 minutes 10–97% Charge 8 min 42 sec ~9 minutes Peak Charging Power ~1100 kW Up to 1500 kW Battery Platform Golden Brick Blade Battery 2.0 While BYD still leads in peak power output, Geely currently leads where it matters most: Real-world charging time. **The Real Bottleneck: Infrastructure** Here’s the catch. These speeds require megawatt-level charging stations, which are still limited. Geely currently operates thousands of charging stations across China BYD plans to deploy up to 20,000 flash-charging stations by 2026 So while the technology exists, mass adoption depends on infrastructure scaling. **Why This Changes Everything for EV Adoption** Charging speed has always been one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption. This breakthrough directly attacks that problem. If charging becomes: 5 minutes instead of 30+ minutes Widely available Reliable across conditions Then EVs no longer feel like a compromise. They become a superior alternative. **Industry Trend: The 5-Minute Charging Era** This isn’t an isolated development. Across the EV industry, we’re seeing: Transition from 400V → 800V → 900V+ systems Charging power exceeding 1 megawatt Battery designs optimized for thermal stability and rapid energy transfer The trajectory is clear: The future of EVs is not just longer range—it’s instant refueling. Geely didn’t just beat BYD in a spec sheet comparison. It delivered a proof of concept for ultra-fast charging at scale. And that has massive implications: Reduced range anxiety Faster road trips Greater mainstream adoption In short: The EV experience is starting to feel indistinguishable from gas-powered convenience. --- **People In This Video** No users are tagged in this video --- [ Previous 2026 Dongfeng Nammi 01 EV launches compact hatchback with 430 km range ](/community/community-pages/chinese-electric-vehicle-market-news/videos/2026-dongfeng-nammi-01-ev-launches-compact-hatchback-with-430-km-range) --- - [ Share](javascript:void(0);) - [Embed](javascript:void(0);) 0 0 0 0 0 0 (javascript:void(0);) Comments (0) ## Other Videos N/A [Cybercab Enters Production: Tesla's Robotaxi Era Officially Starts](/community/videos/cybercab-enters-production-teslas-robotaxi-era-officially-starts?from=listing) 1.
