Gasgoo Munich- On Sept. 29, Geely Smart Charging C12 went live in five cities — Hangzhou, Shanghai, Ningbo, Jiaxing, and Xi'an — officially kicking off a dual rollout of product and experience. Since the Geely Auto Group unveiled the product on Sept. 23, Hohao Power has swiftly completed the five-city layout. With an efficient "launch-and-land" rhythm, the company is turning its technical blueprint into a tangible daily reality for users.
For users, the C12 upgrades are concrete. A single gun boasts a peak power of 2.2 megawatts, delivering a rapid charge in just 8 minutes and 40 seconds — barely enough time to grab water and stretch at a highway service area. Powered by AI "charge-and-care" technology, the system ensures fast charging doesn't degrade the battery. The maximum temperature stays below 65°C, boosting cycle life by over 20% and effectively resolving the industry dilemma that fast charging is unsafe or damaging.

In terms of store operations, the synchronized launch is a deep exploration into merging "store services" with "charging experiences." Users can charge within a familiar brand space while enjoying end-to-end services like lounges and maintenance. This also creates new touchpoints for stores to serve and connect with customers, transforming them into trusted "energy hubs" along the journey.
Hohao Power says the five-city opening is just the start. Geely Smart Charging C12 will expand to more cities and stores nationwide, driving a "faster, better, safer" charging experience across a wider radius of daily life — making every trip smoother and more efficient.
