At a time when competition in the automotive market is fierce, major automakers and brands have pulled out all the stops to capture more market share. Domestic cars are gradually catching up with joint venture cars, especially in the field of new energy vehicles, which is gaining momentum. As a leader in domestic cars, Geely has attracted considerable attention.
According to the "2023 Listed Company Carbon List" released by the Carbon Neutrality Summit Forum, Geely Auto ranks first in the "Carbon and Power Battery Dual Carbon" category. This ranking has established Geely as a "Carbon Neutral Benchmark Enterprise" and garnered significant attention.
However, Geely is not resting on its laurels. The Geely Galaxy E5, built on the GEA architecture, will be equipped with the 20,000th Aegis Short Blade Battery pack, which will be launched globally on August 3. It promises exceptional safety and durability. Let's explore what makes it so special!
Super Safe: Military-Grade Safety for Greater Peace of Mind
As the saying goes, "True gold is not afraid of fire." Similarly, Geely's commitment to safety is deeply ingrained in its DNA, and its safety tests are rigorous. The Aegis Short Blade Battery pack of the Geely Galaxy E5 has undergone six series of tests at the Automotive Center, including sea surfing, extreme cold on the plateau, high-frequency bottom scraping, extreme rolling, battery pack side column collision, and flame roasting.
Many of these tests exceed national standards. Geely even introduced the industry's first high-difficulty test conditions, such as real bullet shooting. Remarkably, this is the world's first battery cell to pass a penetration test with a 5.8mm real bullet. Despite these extreme conditions, there was no fire or explosion, showcasing its military-grade safety.
Additionally, the Geely Galaxy E5 incorporates several safety features, such as CTB battery body integration and a patented "grid" frame design, which enhances structural strength by more than 2 times. The vehicle's bottom protection features a three-layer composite material plus DP980 steel "sandwich" structure and a specially designed anti-collision beam at the front of the battery. The inclusion of two explosion-proof valves ensures rapid pressure release and efficient heat dissipation. Geely has indeed pushed safety protection to the extreme.
Super Durable: Safe for Over 1 Million Kilometers
Geely Galaxy E5 demonstrates its durability with authoritative data. After 921 complete charge and discharge cycles, the battery health level is at an impressive 90.5%, surpassing many products in the same class, which typically degrade to about 80% after 500 cycles. Even after reaching 300,000 kilometers, the battery pack retains its structural integrity and protection, highlighting the exceptional durability of the Aegis Short Blade Battery.
The remarkable performance of the Aegis Short Blade Battery is attributed to Geely's extensive research and development. This battery features a new generation of "blade-type" lithium iron phosphate design, which improves structure, reduces size, and minimizes internal resistance. The battery's surface uses an amorphous carbon coating to reduce electrochemical side reactions and ensure long cycle life.
Overall, the Geely Galaxy E5 battery cell achieves a cycle life of 3,500 cycles and can safely support over 1 million kilometers, which is sufficient to cover the lifespan of two cars.
Super Fast Charging: Solving the Charging Problem in Just 17 Minutes
The Geely Galaxy E5 addresses one of the biggest consumer concerns-charging time. Unlike the several hours required by many vehicles, the Galaxy E5 can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 17 minutes. This impressive performance is due to the Aegis Short Blade Battery's improved internal resistance and the thinner, longer tube diameter of the battery pack. Additionally, additives with lower film formation impedance have been used in the electrolyte to enhance lithium ion diffusion, further accelerating charging speed.
The Geely Galaxy E5 offers unique advantages in safety, durability, and fast charging. The use of the Aegis Short Blade Battery has generated considerable discussion. Its ability to provide safe driving for over 1 million kilometers means that a single battery can serve two generations of cars. Furthermore, Geely has developed an industrial recycling model centered around OEMs, which extends battery life and reduces carbon emissions by over 80,000 tons per year. From both environmental and economic perspectives, Geely has made significant strides. We look forward to the global launch of the Geely Galaxy E5.
