Geely launches 16-in-1 Intelligent E-Drive with 93.8% efficiency on 800 V architecture
By Eve
Geely Auto Group has unveiled its 16-in-1 Intelligent E-Drive, an 800 V electric drive system weighing 75 kg that achieves 93.8% efficiency on the CLTC cycle, debuting on the Geely TT model. Developed with InfiMotion, the integrated unit recorded 8.20 kWh/100 km energy consumption in testing at Qinghai Lake and delivers 425 kW combined output in dual-motor configuration, enabling 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 3.8 seconds. Geely engineered the system with 54-channel directional cooling that reduces peak motor temperature by up to 15° C and targets 5 million kilometre durability.
Why it matters
The integrated 800 V drive system signals intensifying competition in high-efficiency EV powertrains, with implications for charging infrastructure as lower energy consumption per 100 km reduces dwell time and operational costs at charging sites. Geely's in-house development capability may influence procurement strategies for OEMs and charging operators evaluating partnerships with vertically integrated manufacturers.

Geely confirms 2027 Canadian market entry as tariff cut opens door for Chinese brands
Geely Group announced it will begin selling vehicles in Canada in 2027, following the country's reduction of tariffs on Chinese EVs from 100% to 6.1% for the first 49,000 units. The company is building a retail and service network but has not disclosed which models will be offered, though the Geely EX5 and EX2 have been spotted testing in Canada. BYD and Chery have also confirmed plans to enter the Canadian market under the new tariff structure.
Why it matters
The tariff reduction creates a significant procurement opportunity for Canadian charging operators to prepare networks for an influx of affordable Chinese EVs from multiple manufacturers. CPOs should monitor which Geely models arrive in 2027 to ensure compatibility and capacity planning, particularly as BYD and Chery also prepare market entries.
Geely deploys 2,250kW AI charger in five Chinese cities, targets 50,000 charging guns by end of 2027
Geely has begun rolling out ultra-fast EV charging infrastructure in China, with its AI-enabled system delivering 2,250kW peak power and charging select vehicles from 10% to 70% in four and a half minutes. The company has installed units in five cities and aims to deploy more than 50,000 charging guns across China by the end of 2027, including over 15,000 Smart Charge units. The technology claims up to 20% longer battery life by predicting overheating, joining BYD's 1,500kW system in the megawatt charging space as China accelerates infrastructure development ahead of the US, where 750kW stations are scheduled for 2027.
Why it matters
Geely's 50,000 gun target by 2027 signals a major procurement pipeline for megawatt-level charging hardware in China, following BYD's installation of more than 10,000 Flash Charging stations in around five months. CPOs and suppliers outside China face a widening technology gap, with Geely's 2,250kW peak power representing six times the 350 to 400kW standard currently being built in the US market.
Geely unveils 2,250 kW charger with AI management for sub five minute top ups
Chinese carmaker Geely has demonstrated a 2,250 kW charging station, roughly three times the capacity of Tesla's 250 kW V4 Superchargers in Europe, that recharged two group models (Lynk & Co 10 and Zeekr 001) from 10% to 70% in 4 minutes and 30 seconds during company organised trials. The system uses artificial intelligence to manage charging sessions and claims to preserve battery longevity despite the extreme power delivery.
Why it matters
The technology signals a potential step change in charging infrastructure requirements, with power outputs far exceeding current European networks, though real world deployment timelines and grid integration challenges remain unclear. CPOs evaluating future hardware roadmaps will need to assess whether such ultra high power charging becomes a competitive necessity or remains a niche offering.
