Charging is all about the lowest common value, so even the fastest DC charger plugged into a Mazda MX-30 will still be down-regulated to 40kW, the car’s rated maximum. That is, of course, if your EV can accept all that incoming power. Most rapid charging stations found here in Malaysia are of the more pedestrian 180kW variety, which is quick but by no means in the same league as 600kW. Only the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the Kia EV6, which allow a 350kW DC charge, come readily to mind. Geely developing 600kW EV charging infrastructureĮven today, the count of in-production EVs capable of fully utilising a 350kW charger is as few as the charging stations themselves, at least at the time of writing. By contrast, the most powerful DC rapid charging points we’ve seen so far extend to 350kW, and those are still few and far between. This promises much faster energy replenishment in compatible electric vehicles with the company claiming a mere 5-minute charge is enough to provide up to 300km of usable range. In fact, they say they’re on the cusp of mass production. Geely, or more accurately one of its many subsidiaries Viridi E-Mobility Technology or VREMT for short, has announced the ongoing development of a charging technology that will be capable of 600kW.
