Geely plans to unveil an advanced electric car battery and charging system on Wednesday, allowing for 4 minute charges and charging speeds that are about 50% faster than Chinese rival BYD’s newest “Flash Charging 2.0” system.

Geely launched its new TT electric sport sedan in China, starting at 129,900 yuan (about $19,100), with 800V fast charging and LiDAR on every trim.

That price puts a 640 km sedan with next-generation charging hardware at roughly half the price of a Tesla.

Somewhere, a guy in Pit Vipers is recording a Facebook video from the front seat of his pickup claiming that Chinese EVs aren’t just inferior to American V8 iron – they’re unsafe, too. Unfortunately for him, the latest EVs from GAC, Geely, and Leapmotor just aced the brutally demanding Euro NCAP safety tests.

Geely says its next-generation solid-state EV battery will reach an energy density of up to 500 Wh/kg, and it’s already running the cells through real-world validation ahead of a pilot rollout in 2027.

That number is the whole story. At 500 Wh/kg, Geely’s cells would hold roughly twice the energy per kilogram of the best lithium-ion battery packs shipping in EVs today.

The eagerly anticipated Geely Galaxy 700 was expected to be the Chinese brand’s answer to the Range Rover and Land Cruiser – but, with a tire-shredding 1,113 hp on tap, it may be a bigger, boxier answer to Italian exotic cars, instead!

Ford announced plans to build an electric crossover with China’s Geely as part of a new alliance. A new compact SUV is also set to join the Bronco family.

The Geely Xingyuan, sold overseas as the EX2, was the top-selling car in China last year. While it was yet again the most popular EV in April, Geely launched an upgraded model offering more range at the same low price.

Ford is reportedly in “very advanced” talks with Volvo owner, Geely, to sell a portion of its Valencia plant in Spain. The deal may involve a new electric vehicle.

BYD’s Flash Chargers can charge an electric vehicle just as fast as filling up at a gas station, but it’s not the only automaker with ultra-fast 1,500 kW EV chargers.

BYD and Geely are among three finalists competing to purchase a Nissan-Mercedes-Benz joint venture plant in Aguascalientes, Mexico, according to a Reuters exclusive report. The plant, which has a production capacity of 230,000 vehicles per year, would give either Chinese automaker an instant manufacturing foothold in North America, bypassing years of regulatory delays that have stalled their greenfield factory plans in the country.

The third finalist is Vietnamese EV maker VinFast. The three were selected from a pool of nine companies that expressed interest, including Chinese automakers Chery and Great Wall Motor.

For months, Ford and Geely have been discussing a potential partnership that would allow the Chinese automaker to use underutilized plant capacity in Europe. The two appear to be closing in on a deal that would involve more than just sharing manufacturing space.

Volvo parent company Geely is set to complete production of its first in-house solid-state battery pack in 2026, becoming the latest Chinese electric automaker to announce progress with this next-generation battery tech.

On today’s all-consuming episode of Quick Charge, we’ve got some quick takes from the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show! One of the largest tech and mobility trade shows on the planet, CES has already seen advanced AI, a drone you can ride, advanced AI, and more!

Geely is at CES this week, giving journalists test drives in the Chinese EVs from the various brands it owns. And it dropped a bit of a bomb about its plans to enter the US market, still leaving some wiggle room, but signaling a more concrete intention than we’ve heard yet.

How about an electric Smurf-Mobile as your next ride? The Livian Smurf EV looks like it’s straight out of a cartoon, but it’s a real vehicle and expected to cost around $5,000.

The best-selling vehicle in China, EV or gas-powered, in the first half of 2025 was not the BYD Seagull or Tesla Model Y. It was actually the Geely Xingyuan. AKA the “Star Wish,” Geely’s EV topped the sales charts with prices starting under $10,000 in China.

Global Chinese auto group Geely Auto has signed an agreement with Jameel Motors to help distribute its New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) to customers around Poland.

Just one year after ZEEKR went public on the US stock market, its majority shareholder, Geely, is offering the Chinese EV automaker an opportunity to go private once again.

Bear with me, as this one is a bit complicated and jargon-heavy. Lotus Technology Inc. announced that Geely, the majority owner of its vehicle manufacturing business Lotus UK, exercised its put option earlier this week to sell its 51% stake in the latter company back to the former company. In layperson’s terms, Geely is out, so Lotus Tech has to buy the 51% of Lotus UK back, putting all those respective businesses back under one umbrella. Still with me? More below.

Volvo parent company Geely is the latest Chinese EV to be put through the ringer by the European NCAP and Australian ANCAP, and its EX5 electric crossover aced both tests scoring an all-important five-star safety rating.

Polestar has unveiled a new collection of one-off “Arctic Circle” EVs designed to showcase the brand’s performance DNA. The rally-inspired upgrades have now been applied to the Polestar 2, 3, and 4 EVs and were put through their paces in the frigid Arctic before they make their public debut at an ice race in Austria.
