Geely Ultra-Fast Network Access for Non-Geely Vehicles — The Open Question BYD Already Answered

BYD answered the open-access question on March 9, 2026: “fully open for sharing across all brands; all EV models meeting GB standards can connect and charge normally” {CLM — Dongchedi, March 9, citing BYD official}. Geely has not published an equivalent statement. This asymmetry is a live procurement planning variable for every fleet that operates non-Geely vehicles near Geely ultra-fast infrastructure.

What Is Known About the Geely Network

Geely: 2,103 stations in 215 cities as of February 28, 2026, 1,216 of which are ultra-fast {CLM — Dongchedi, March 9, 2026}. Zeekr 001 independently measured at 1,266.4 kW peak at a Geely ultra-fast station {CLM — Yiche, March 4, 2026}. The Zeekr 001 measurement is an OEM-vehicle-on-OEM-network figure. What a non-Geely vehicle receives at a Geely ultra-fast station: DATA NOT AVAILABLE {GAP}.

What Has Not Been Confirmed

No Geely official statement equivalent to BYD’s open-access position has been found in public reporting as of March 28, 2026 {GAP}. The absence of a negative statement is not confirmation of access. In the absence of explicit confirmation, the audit-grade assumption is OEM-exclusive: treat Geely ultra-fast infrastructure as unavailable for non-Geely vehicle fleet planning until Geely publishes an equivalent open-access statement.

The practical consequence: a mixed fleet (some BYD, some Geely, some others) cannot assume reciprocal access across both proprietary networks. The BYD component can plan around BYD Flash Charger access with confirmed open-access policy {CLM}. The Geely-network access question for non-Geely vehicles in the same fleet remains open.

Gap-03: Geely Network Cross-Brand Access Policy

Data Gap

Manufacturer Claim

Geely: 2,103 stations / 215 cities / 1,216 ultra-fast as of Feb 28, 2026 {CLM -- Dongchedi, March 9}. Zeekr 001 at Geely ultra-fast: 1,266.4 kW measured peak {CLM -- Yiche, March 4}. BYD network: fully open for all GB-standard EVs {CLM -- Dongchedi, March 9}. BYD Gen 2 on BYD Flash Charger: 8 min 45 sec -- 9 min 24 sec [V].

Engineering Reality Official claim only

Geely ultra-fast network open access for non-Geely vehicles: no official confirmation found as of March 28, 2026 [?]. Non-Geely vehicle on Geely ultra-fast station: actual charging power -- DATA NOT AVAILABLE [?]. City-level distribution of Geely 1,216 ultra-fast stations: not published. Average of 9.8 stations/city across 215 cities -- calculated from CLM data [I] -- masks tier-1/tier-4 concentration. Monitoring Trigger T8: Geely publishes official open-access policy equivalent to BYD March 2026 position -- no fixed date.

? Data Gap Geely network: treat as OEM-exclusive for non-Geely fleet planning until explicit open-access confirmation. No fixed date for resolution.

When This Gap May Close

No fixed date. Monitoring Trigger T8: Geely publishes official open-access policy for non-Geely vehicles equivalent to BYD’s March 2026 position. Monitor Geely official channels. The incentive for Geely to publish such a policy exists — open access to a 1,216-station ultra-fast network is a competitive advantage for drivers of non-Geely EVs who want network options.

DATA GAPS: WITHHELD BY OEM

[?]?

No equivalent official open-access statement found for Geely network in public reporting as of March 28, 2026. BYD confirmed open access on March 9 {CLM}. Geely has not published a comparable statement. Audit-grade planning assumption: treat Geely ultra-fast network as OEM-exclusive for non-Geely fleet procurement until explicitly confirmed otherwise.
