Don't blink now because a more affordable fully electric SUV may have silently entered the competitive automobile market without any fanfare or extravagant ceremony. Geely released the Galaxy E5, which is initially estimated at US$ 16,000, according to Electrek. This Chinese brand has high expectations from its makers. They envisined the new E5 as a pioneer that can break into the global market.
The model will come out in five different variants with the capacity of the battery as the major distinction. The Sailing Edition, considered as more affordable, will have a range of approximately 273 miles per charge. The most most expensive model, the Starship Edition, will have a range of about 329 miles per charge.
What really sets it apart is the price tag that maxes out at just US$ 20,450. At this level, the Galaxy E5 might be the most affordable electric SUV on the market.
According to Car and Driver, even the most affordable fully electric SUVs, such as the Kia Niro or Hyundai Ioniq 5, tend to fall around the US$ 40,000 mark. Higher-end models, including the Rivian R1S or Tesla Model X, can push your price tag closer to US$ 100,000. Geely's newest model is in the US$ 15,00- US$ 20,000 range, which makes owning an EV even more affordable for families around the world.
On top of that, the batteries are supposed to be incredibly durable. Geely said they have a life of over 1 million kilometers (more than 620,000 miles) with "little impact on range."
Electric vehicles have become more and more of a focus of the automotive market in recent years, and while there are some environmental impacts related to the mining of necessary materials for building them, they are significantly less than the positive impact the vehicles have in replacing cars powered by dirty energy sources.
While Geely's new Galaxy E5 isn't ready to launch yet, the company says it'll have both left- and right-sided models to allow for sales in a multitude of markets in 2025.
