Test outcome: The Zeekr 001 and Lynk & Co 10 charged from 10% to 70% in four minutes 30 seconds during testing.

  • System launch: Geely Auto Group introduced Geely Smart Charging, an AI-based charging system using a 2,250 kW charging station.
  • Control architecture: Xingrui PowerMind, built with StepFun, coordinates car, battery, charger, cloud, grid and storage.
  • Thermal envelope: The system forecasts temperature up to 30 seconds ahead, targets below 55°C average and under 65°C peak, and uses liquid cooling at five points.
  • Battery-life measures: Micro-pulse currents and AI management extend cycle life by 20%, a slower home charging mode repairs wear over time, the Shendun Golden Battery supports 12C peak rate, and the Ultra Short Blade Battery generates 10% less heat.

Charging as a controlled thermal process

Geely Auto Group has launched an AI-based charging system, Geely Smart Charging, built around a 2,250 kW charging station. During testing, it charged the Zeekr 001 and Lynk & Co 10 from 10% to 70% in four minutes 30 seconds.

The launch makes battery condition part of the charging specification rather than a side effect.

The core is Xingrui PowerMind, an AI model built with StepFun that coordinates the car, battery, charger, cloud, grid and storage.

Xingrui PowerMind forecasts battery temperature up to 30 seconds in advance and adjusts power to hold the average below 55°C and peaks under 65°C. Liquid cooling is applied at five points, from the station’s storage battery to the vehicle pack.

Battery longevity remains a persistent worry for buyers considering ultra-fast charging, and Geely is treating it as part of the charging problem.

Wear management built into the charge profile

The system applies micro-pulse currents to revive lithium ions during fast charging. Alongside AI management, Geely Auto Group says this extends battery cycle life by 20%. A slower home charging mode is designed to repair wear over time.

The battery hardware is specified for the same target. The Shendun Golden Battery supports a 12C peak rate.

For engineers, the notable element is coordination: charger, storage, cooling, vehicle pack and software are presented as one system, with temperature prediction and current shaping used to keep ultra-fast charging within defined thermal and cycle-life limits.
