ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The ability to charge an EV in under five minutes is a game-changer for Chinese carmaker Geely, and it's likely to put pressure on other manufacturers to match this technology.

Geely's 'flash charging' battery is a direct challenge to rival BYD, and it's likely that this competition will drive innovation and improvement in EV technology.

What it means for the market

The fast-charging capability of Geely's new battery will be a major selling point for customers who are looking for a convenient and efficient EV experience.

This technology will also help to alleviate range anxiety, which is a major concern for many potential EV buyers.

Competitor response

Other manufacturers, including BYD, will need to respond to Geely's new battery technology in order to remain competitive in the market.

This could lead to a wave of new EV models with fast-charging capabilities, which would be a major boon for customers and dealers alike.

Taking action

Dealers can prepare for this shift by educating themselves and their staff about the benefits and capabilities of fast-charging EVs, and by developing strategies to effectively communicate these benefits to customers.
