Geely company set a world record in acceleration speed
China's Geely automotive concern has achieved a true technological revolution in the electric vehicle industry. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
A new generation of battery developed by the company's engineers has set a world record for charging speed. This innovation is expected to fundamentally change all perceptions regarding electric vehicle charging time and battery service life.
Information about this development is being widely covered in international technology publications. During official tests conducted by the Chinese center for automotive technology and research, the new battery became the first in the world to exceed the one-thousand kilowatt charging threshold.
The maximum power indicator recorded in practice was 1093 kilowatts. This figure is several times higher than the fastest charging systems currently available on the market.
Such a result marks the beginning of a new era in saving time when using electric vehicles. The main feature of this battery, based on lithium-iron-phosphate technology, is that it consists of elements with a unique structure.
Such a device ensures not only rapid power intake but also a high level of safety. According to established standards, the battery temperature should not exceed 65 degrees during ultra-high-speed charging.
Geely engineers succeeded in keeping the temperature within the norm even at power levels above one megawatt. To achieve this, the heat exchange area was doubled, which completely eliminated the risk of system overheating.
Another important aspect of the new battery is its durability. According to the manufacturer's data, this battery can withstand 4,500 full charging cycles.
This indicator is equivalent to the electric vehicle traveling approximately one million kilometers. Considering that an average driver in Uzbekistan travels 20-30 thousand kilometers per year, such a battery will not lose its properties throughout the entire service life of the car.
Currently, the first car models equipped with this innovative battery have gone on sale in the Chinese market. In the future, the company plans to apply this technology to its other brands and export models.
According to experts, the emergence of such charging systems will allow electric vehicles to be charged as quickly as at traditional fueling stations, namely within 5-10 minutes. This could significantly accelerate the transition to electric transport worldwide, including in Uzbekistan, where infrastructure is rapidly developing.
