The most eye-stealing highlight is the Flash Charging technology, which works in conjunction with the latest Blade Battery 2.0.

– Charging from 10% to 70% takes only 5 minutes.
– To charge to 97%, it only takes 9 minutes.
– Even in temperatures as low as -30°C, it can still be fast-charged in 12 minutes.

This article is counting Tesla and Polestar as Chinese EVs…

Polestars basically are. They are owned by Geely and some are built in China

A lot of iPhones are made in China too. Do you consider them Chinese?

Isn't Geely a Chinese company though?

Still seems disingenuous in the context of the article linked. Like those “assembled in USA” stickers. Technically correct but also misleading and mostly missing the point.

Yep, the article is purposely conflating "Chinese" with "Made in China".
