    "excerpt": "The headline figures are striking, but the race is about more than speed: battery wear, heat control and power-grid capacity remain critical. Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers are racing to charge faster, aiming to make charging as quick as a brief stop at a gas station. Geely, BYD and other companies are developing megawatt-level systems to ease drivers’ range anxiety and support demand in the world’s largest automotive market, where growth has slowed. According to Reuters At the same time, ultra-fast charging poses complex engineering challenges. High currents can increase battery heat and wear, while widespread use of high-powered charging stations requires additional solutions for the power grid. On Wednesday, September 23, 2026, Geely unveiled a specially designed battery system that, according to the company, can deliver up to 2.25 MW through a single charging connector. At room temperature, it charges a vehicle from 10% to 70% in 4.5 minutes and to 97% in 8 minutes and 40 seconds. BYD has developed its own megawatt fast-charging systems and Blade batteries. The company says they can charge a battery from 10% to 97% in nine minutes. Li Auto electric vehicles are equipped with CATL 5C Qilin batteries. They can add up to 500 km of range in 12 minutes. In early September 2026, Sunwoda also announced its own fast-charging system, saying it takes nine minutes to charge...",
