Geely, Owner of Volvo, Announces Revolutionary Electric Car Battery! With a lifetime of 50 years and a capacity to travel 1 million kilometers, this innovation promises to change the market. Enhanced safety and ultra-fast charging complete the new technology. Are competitors ready for this revolution?

The automotive industry may be on the brink of a revolution. Geely, the Chinese giant that owns Volvo, has announced a battery for electric cars with the potential to change the global market.

This battery not only promises a lifespan of up to 50 years, but it is also capable of traveling an impressive 1 million kilometers. An innovation that puts competitors on alert and may redefine the standards of efficiency and sustainability in electric vehicles.

According to Geely, the new lithium iron phosphate battery is not only durable but also safer and offers high energy density. With a capacity of 192 Wh/kg, the cell is almost 40% smaller than a conventional automotive battery, providing significant advantages in terms of design and space.

Battery Also Charges Faster

The faster charging is another promise of this innovation. Tests reveal that the new compact battery can recover energy more quickly, charging from 10 to 80% in just 17 minutes.

By comparison, the Blade battery from FinDreams Battery, a subsidiary of BYD, takes 26 minutes for the same task.

In extreme cold conditions, Geely’s battery also stands out, maintaining over 90% of maximum charge at -30 °C, compared to about 79% for the competitor.

Safety Is Also a Crucial Point

Safety is a crucial point for Geely. The battery features a layer of aluminum foil that, when punctured, creates a kind of insulator, preventing short circuits and thermal runaway events.

In tests, the battery was punctured by eight steel needles of 5 mm and remained intact for 1 hour without harmful effects. Geely also shot a 5.8 mm bullet at the battery without generating any thermal ignition event.

The battery also withstood immersion in seawater, was subjected to fire, and endured being crushed by 26 tons, demonstrating impressive robustness.

Although Geely has not yet revealed the date for the start of production of vehicles equipped with this new technology, expectations are high. The introduction of this battery could reduce carbon emissions by over 80,000 tons per year, a significant advance for environmental sustainability.

What do you think, do you believe this innovation from Geely will really change the future of electric vehicles? Leave your opinion in the comments!

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Workers were opening a modern road in Dover when they found, 6 meters below the asphalt, a 3,500-year-old boat made of stitched oak and plant fibers.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

Construction material store starts selling modular units that resemble small houses, assembled in a few days in the backyard, as the housing crisis pushes families towards unconventional solutions in Australia.

Inventor creates a bicycle without springs and without hydraulic oil, using only powerful magnets in the suspension, and demonstrates in tests why the idea works, but still faces engineering risks and limitations.

Thousands of residents went to the Sabaneta dam to defend rivers and crops, walked 20 km, and the pressure led the President of the Dominican Republic to suspend the gold and copper project.

A tropical forest almost three times the size of Paris was devastated to supply a chain of packaging labeled as “carbon neutral,” while an international investigation traced the wood from deforested areas in Borneo to pulp mills and box production used by major brands in the health sector.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Stellantis considers producing cars from the Chinese company Dongfeng at a factory in Brazil and may boost a new phase for compacts, pickups, and SUVs.

Mitsubishi Triton with a 2.4 turbo diesel engine of 205 hp, 47.9 kgfm of torque, and a 6-speed automatic transmission becomes up to R$ 31,000 cheaper and threatens the reign of Hilux and Ranger.

More economical than the Toyota Yaris Cross, the new Renault Duster 1.0 turbo achieves an impressive 19.4 km/l, delivers 100 hp, and shows why the SUV that Brazil won’t have anytime soon has become a global highlight.

Volkswagen SP2 seemed too weak to be sporty, but its national design has spanned 50 years, seduced foreign collectors, and transformed a 75 hp coupe into a rare piece, while fans fear that foreigners will take away one of Brazil’s most beautiful cars.

The “L” on the automatic transmission may seem like a detail, but it hides a low gear that helps the car climb better, descend more safely, and save the brakes.
