Geely Smart Charging can boost battery power by 20%

• Chinese EV giant says its new AI-powered system can improve battery longevity by 20%
• It’s powered by a smart AI model that also keep battery temperatures stable
• We’re not sure when it will be released in the UK

Electric vehicle (EV) giant Geely has said its customers could soon start enjoying 20% more battery power thanks to Geely Smart Charging, its new AI-powered charging technology.

Powered by Xingrui PowerMind, a smart energy AI model, Geely Smart Charging uses algorithms to predict battery temperatures up to 30 seconds ahead and adjust charging power dynamically, rather than reacting only after temperatures rise.

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

How does Geely Smart Charging work?

Geely said its using AI to answer one of the biggest problems in the EV world: battery longevity, also known as ‘range anxiety’, the fear that a car will run out of power far away from home or a public charger.

To overcome this, Geely Smart Charging is trying to create “a charging strategy tailored to each vehicle and battery” via Xingrui PowerMind, which “adjusts peak current, cooling intensity and charging duration in real time”.

The Geely Smart Charging system 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.

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%.

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.

We don’t know when Geely Smart Charging will be available in the UK, but we’ll update you as soon as we do.

He has written about sustainability issues across numerous industries, including maritime, supply chain, finance, mining, and retail. He has also written extensively for consumer titles like City AM, The Morning Star, and The Daily Express.

He has represented The Eco Experts on national television several times, including the BBC’s Sunday Morning Live and ITV Tonight .

In 2020, he covered in detail the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) legislation on sulphur emissions and its effects on the global container shipping market as online editor of Port Technology International.

He also explored the initiatives major container ports and terminals have launched in order to ship vital goods across the world without polluting the environment.

Since then, he has reported heavily on the impact made by environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices on the supply chain of minerals, with a particular focus on rare earth mining in Africa.

As part of this, in 2022 Max visited mines and ports in Angola to hone in on the challenges being faced by one of the world’s biggest producers of rare earth minerals.

His most recent sustainability-related work came much closer to home, as he investigated the eco-challenges faced by independent retailers in the UK, specifically looking at how they can cut emissions and continue to thrive.

Max lives in South London and is an avid reader of books on modern history. He has also recently learned to play the game Mahjong and takes every opportunity to do so. He is also yet to find a sport he doesn’t enjoy watching.
