Geely "Gold Brick" Battery Can Charge From 10-97% In 9 Mins

Geely’s latest “Gold Brick” battery with 95kWh capacity can rapidly charge up without heating up.

The landscape of electric vehicle (EV) charging is undergoing a seismic shift. Geely has officially released certified results for its revolutionary “Gold Brick” battery, and the performance metrics are nothing short of industry-defining. By combining massive capacity with cutting-edge thermal management, Geely is signaling a future where range anxiety and long charging stops become relics of the past.

At the heart of this innovation is the Lynk & Co 10+ sedan—a vehicle that is bringing these hyper-fast charging capabilities to the mass market at a surprisingly accessible price point of approximately $35,000 USD or under RM150,000.

The “Gold Brick” battery isn’t just about speed; it’s about efficiency and safety at high temperatures. The certified specifications are as follows:

Perhaps most impressively, Geely has achieved these numbers while maintaining peak temperatures of only 147.2°F (64°C). This is a critical engineering feat, as it sits safely below China’s 149°F (65°C) regulatory limit, thanks in part to a sophisticated dual-sided 3D liquid cooling system.

While the battery technology is a headline-grabber, it serves as the foundation for the Lynk & Co 10+ sedan. Lynk & Co, a brand under the Geely umbrella, has built a reputation for blending Scandinavian design sensibilities with Chinese manufacturing prowess.The 10+ sedan represents the pinnacle of this collaboration. By housing the 95 kWh Gold Brick battery, the 10+ is positioned to compete aggressively in the mid-to-large size sedan market. Beyond its charging prowess, the vehicle is expected to feature:

Geely’s achievement with the Gold Brick battery is a direct challenge to the current limitations of EV adoption. The biggest hurdle for potential buyers has historically been the time it takes to “refuel” on long road trips. By demonstrating a near-total charge in under nine minutes, Geely is closing the gap between EV charging times and traditional ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) refueling stops.As production ramps up in China, the eyes of the global automotive industry will be on the real-world performance of the Lynk & Co 10+ sedan. If these certified results hold up in daily usage, we may be looking at the beginning of a new era where ultra-fast charging is no longer a luxury feature, but an expected standard.
