Geely has deployed 12C fast-charging stations in five cities across China to counter BYD’s flash chargers. Geely’s charging station boasts a peak output of 2,250 kWh DC per connector. It allows Zeekr– and Lynk & Co-branded EVs to charge from 10% to 97% in 8 minutes and 40 seconds.

So I have two problems with this:

1. kWh is the unit for Energy (Capacity if you like) and not power
2. 2,2 kW is about as powerful as two water cookers. I think 2,2 MW is what is presumably meant.

as two water cookers

1. 2,2 kW is about as powerful as two water cookers. I think 2,2 MW is what is presumably meant.

The comma separates groups of thousands and isn't the decimal separator here. The text says 2,250 kWh which are 2.250 MWh.

I think they mean these 2250 kWh = 8.1 GJ of electric energy are transfered onto a vehicle in 8 m 40 s = 520 s. This would mean a power of 15.6 MW.

Edit: the text of the article makes clear that they, in fact, confused kWh and kW in the headline:

The charging pile supports a peak voltage of 1,500 V and a peak current of 1,500 A.

The future vehicles from the Hangzhou automaker will likely be able to charge at 2,250 kW.

Then the unit doesn’t make sense if you leave it up to the reader to do the math… also as a ballpoint 15 MW is wild… I want to see the connector that can handle the current at a voltage that doesn’t ignore any insulator at that size…

Immersion sous vide cookers are referred to as water cookers here.

Please see my edited post.

And count of sous vide cookers is a typical unit of measure?

Better than confusing Energy with Power

China — like many other countries — uses the comma as a thousands separator, not a decimal point. 2,250 is two thousand two hundred, not two point two.
