Just one month after BYD unveiled its second-generation blade battery and megawatt flash charging technology—claiming the world’s fastest mass-production charging speed—Geely‘s Lynk & Co brand has announced even faster charging performance with its 900V Energee Golden Brick Battery. According to official test data released today, the Lynk & Co 10 achieved faster charging speeds: charging from 10% to 70% SOC in 4 minutes 22 seconds, from 10% to 80% SOC in 5 minutes 32 seconds, and from 10% to 97% in 8 minutes 42 seconds—faster than BYD’s megawatt flash charging results of 5 minutes (10% -70%) and 9 minutes (10% – 97%), respectively. The peak charging power during the test reached 1100kW, and even after the battery reached 80% SOC, it still maintained over 500kW. The charging video. However, the test was conducted using Zeekr’s V4 megawatt flash charging piles, and the company has not yet disclosed the mass-rollout timeline for these chargers. According to Zeekr, as of the end of February 2026, Geely’s self-built charging network has launched 2,103 charging stations and 10,212 charging piles, covering 215 cities nationwide. This includes 6,269 stations in highway service areas, 1,216 800V ultra-fast charging stations, and 5,468 ultra-fast charging piles. In contrast, BYD installed its 5,000th megawatt flash charging station earlier this month and expects to build 20,000 stations by year-end to support large-scale charging demands. As seen in the video, this charging session utilized Zeekr’s ultra-fast charging pile, which the company released last year. It features a single-gun peak power of 1300kW and a peak current of 1300A, leading the world in both metrics; its full liquid-cooling system overcomes the challenges of high-power heat generation.
