Does fast charging wreck your EV battery? What Geely's AI charging claims.

Geely claims its AI-powered fast charging can partially reverse fast-charging damage, adding up to 20% battery life — a claim that needs independent testing.

Does fast charging slowly damage your EV battery? Geely says it has cracked this with artificial intelligence: its new system uses micro-pulse currents — rapid, precisely timed surges of power — that it claims can partially reverse fast-charging damage and extend battery life by up to 20 percent. Read that as a company claim until independent testing agrees, because battery makers have made big promises before.

The practical advice stands regardless of the hype. Occasional fast charging is fine, so do not feel guilty about road trips. And the single best habit for battery longevity stays the same: keep your daily charge limit at 80 percent and let the battery spend as little time as possible sitting at full.
