- The company is transitioning from 800V systems to 1000V and building a 1500 kW charging network.
- BYD already offers 400 km range in 5 minutes with its 1000V Super e-Platform.
- Lynk & Co 10 reached 80% in 5 min 32 sec in tests with a 95 kWh battery.
By the Numbers
Chinese Geely Holding Group is developing a new 1000-volt electric architecture to radically shorten the charging time of electric vehicles. The goal is to surpass the current market benchmark by charging the battery from 10% to 80% in 5 minutes 32 seconds.
Geely already uses 800-volt systems in new models in its portfolio and is building a charging network of up to 1500 kW. Rival BYD, meanwhile, already offers 1000-volt technology in production vehicles with its Super e-Platform introduced in 2025, providing 400 km of range in 5 minutes.
Geely's Lynk & Co 10 model completed the 10%-80% range in 5 minutes 32 seconds and the 10%-97% range in 8 minutes 42 seconds in tests with a 95 kWh battery. The new architecture aims to increase efficiency by integrating not only the battery but all high-voltage components in the system.
