China\'s Geely deploys 2.2-MW ultra-fast chargers as U.S. delays 750-kW rollout

Chinese EV maker Geely deployed 2.2-megawatt ultra-fast chargers in five Chinese cities within a week of unveiling them, as China\'s industry shifts from peak output competition to rapid commercialization and rollout. Geely plans 15,000 charging sites by end-2027 and says its system splits power between two heads. In the United States, ultra-fast charging rollout is slower, with EVgo\'s 750-kW system delayed to 2027 and Tesla\'s high-output deployments taking years.

BYD speeds up solid-state battery commercialisation, first fitment in 2027 and mass production around 2030

BYD will unveil its first vehicle fitted with a solid-state battery in 2027, but has not disclosed the model or mass-production schedule. Executive Vice President Stella Li said BYD is in a leading position in both technology and commercialisation and will introduce one model using the technology in 2027. The plan aligns with a roadmap presented by FinDreams CTO Sun Huajun, which targets demonstrations from 2027 and large-scale production around 2030.
