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!

Safety Is Also a Crucial Point

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.

GAC Aion UT lands in Brazil for R$ 135,990 as the most affordable electric car in the country with over 200 hp, surpasses BYD Dolphin in size, features a 360 camera, and offers up to 310 km of range to challenge Chinese rivals.

Mitsubishi confirms the triumphant return of a car beloved by Brazilians that was discontinued after almost 40 years, based on the Triton, 4×4, and targets rival Toyota Land Cruiser in a plan of 13 SUVs.

With a twin-cylinder engine of 49.6 hp and a range exceeding 400 km, the new Honda NX500 2027 debuts with a 5” TFT panel, Showa suspension, HSTC torque control, dual-channel ABS, and unlimited mileage warranty.
