According to CarNewsChina, official test data shared by the company shows the Lynk & Co 10 charging from 10% to 70% in 4 minutes and 22 seconds, and from 10% to 97% in 8 minutes and 42 seconds. In contrast, BYD’s flash charging tech achieved the same results in 5 minutes and 9 minutes, respectively. The difference is small, but it’s enough to put Geely in the lead, at least on paper.
