Let me ask: as Lidong arrives, has your "range anxiety" flared up?
It must be said that those electric vehicles on the market claiming a range of 600, 700, or even 1,000 km really make people nervous when they actually hit the road. Faced with this kind of anxiety, the Geely Galaxy E8 launched a "nationwide super long test" campaign in 50 cities, using impressive results to prove that range anxiety is nothing but a "false proposition" for it!
How so? The best result in this long test was driving the Galaxy E8 665 km Long Range Edition, which achieved an outstanding 720 km on Beijing's Fifth Ring Road, with a range achievement rate of 108.2%, while average energy consumption was only 10.56 kWh/100 km. This set of "reverse underrating" figures stands out in the industry. How exactly did the Geely Galaxy E8 achieve this?
Strong technical support from the three-electric system empowers "ultra-long range"
If "ultra-long range" is the skilled practitioner, then the exceptionally gifted three-electric system is the core DNA of the Geely Galaxy E8. The Geely Galaxy E8 is built on the SEA Haohan architecture and also achieves full-domain 800V across the battery, motor, electronic control, and thermal management system, giving it outstanding advantages in this regard. For example, the drive motor adopts a new-generation high-efficiency SiC silicon carbide electric drive system. This system not only unleashes a maximum power of 475 kW and a maximum torque of 710 Nm, but also has an output efficiency of up to 97.86%, so range can be increased by 5%-10% compared with the previous-generation electric drive system.
In addition, the Geely Galaxy E8 is equipped with a 76 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, with an official CLTC range of 665 km, but most importantly, it adopts a new-generation vehicle-cloud integrated BMS intelligent battery management system, enabling real-time monitoring and optimized control of battery status. This system combines black technologies such as a new-generation wide-temperature-range heat pump air conditioner, intelligent active motor heating, and motor waste heat recovery, and can further enhance the vehicle's range through precise power prediction and energy recovery technology. This is the secret behind the Geely Galaxy E8's "reverse underrating" in range.
It is worth mentioning that the Geely Galaxy E8 has undergone 25 low-drag optimization designs throughout the vehicle, thus achieving an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.199, making it the lowest-production model in the world at a speed of 120 km/h. This is also a key reason for achieving reverse underrating in range.
Battery safety is the "guardian deity" of electric vehicles—can you feel at ease?
In addition to range, battery safety is also a concern for consumers. The Geely Galaxy E8 is equipped with the new-generation Aegis battery safety system, reaching a new height in battery safety. This system has undergone more than 1,000 tests across 18 certifications in six dimensions: charging safety, electromagnetic safety, functional safety, high-voltage safety, battery safety, and fire safety, ensuring the battery's stability and safety under extreme conditions. At the same time, the Aegis battery safety system adopts multiple safety protection measures, including but not limited to physical protection of the battery pack, thermal runaway management, and short-circuit protection, ensuring safe and stable operation of the battery under various extreme working conditions. In particular, the battery pack is also monitored 24/7 by Geely's Xingrui Intelligent Computing Center, providing consumers with more reassuring travel protection.
It is worth noting that, in terms of design, the Geely Galaxy E8 across the lineup adopts passive safety designs such as an integrated boron steel door ring, a ten-cell battery anti-collision partition compartment, a "dragonfly" force transmission structure, and a passenger-side flying airbag, undoubtedly further comprehensively improving the safety of the entire vehicle.
Does the charging speed have to be fast enough to decide whether it is worth loving?
Strong range means charging speed must keep up too! In terms of range capability, the Geely Galaxy E8 is beyond doubt, but charging speed is also a technology that major automakers "compete" over. As mentioned earlier, the Geely Galaxy E8 has 800V technology, so there is no need to worry in this regard either. After all, the charging power of the high-spec 800V model can reach 360 kW, with SoC 30%-80% charging taking only 12 minutes, and 5 minutes of charging can add 180 km of range—that is, in the time it takes to buy a cup of coffee, you can continue to enjoy poetry and distant places.
As for the lower-spec 400V model, the measured peak charging power actually reaches 165 kW, and SoC 30%-80% charging takes only 20 minutes—just enough time for one more trip to the restroom or a cigarette. It can be said that there is completely no charging anxiety.
Most importantly, the Geely Galaxy E8 currently has a "thousand stations, ten thousand chargers" energy replenishment system, integrating more than 96% of charging resources nationwide and covering 330 major cities. At the same time, Geely has invested tens of millions to independently develop a charging map and integrated it into the latest Amap in-car map, allowing users to find charging piles easily and efficiently.
Editor's comment: There are no weak models under the SEA Haohan architecture. The Geely Galaxy E8's "reverse underrating" in range decisively cured "winter range anxiety." With the introduction of advanced technologies such as the new-generation high-efficiency SiC silicon carbide electric drive system, the Aegis battery safety system, the BMS intelligent battery management system, and 800V fast charging, this mid-to-large pure electric sedan impressively brings a starting price of 165,800 yuan, and has also made the Geely Galaxy E8 rank in the top 3 in sales among mid-to-large pure electric sedans. As for the many more treasures of the Geely Galaxy E8, time will surely provide the answer.
