Why Geely's new $15,700 Galaxy E5 is the best value EV in the world

Coming to Malaysia as eMAS 7, right hand drive version. Proton co develop the right hand drive with Geely.

It is because xingyuan weighs almost 400 kg less than BYD dolphin. very very well done geely i assume geely will surpass BYD and tesla within 4 or 5 years indeed.

Charging speeds probably won't be that high even though the cells can handle it, but just having the highest energy density on the market is already impressive for a budget car.

[@jersut]

Shipping a car from China to Australia incurs additional costs, and the dealer needs to make a profit. For example, the MG4 Excite 51 (Mulan) sells for 115,800 yuan (about AUD $24,600) in China, while the MSRP in July 2024 in Australia is $39,990-a difference of approximately $15,390. Therefore, Chinese prices often don't reflect the final prices in other countries.

BYD Sealion 6 DM-i is now a big threat in our country because it's a P-HEV that's affordable, high-tech and luxury. Toyota, Nissan, Honda are in tight situation right now as buyers will be selling their HEVs and new buyers will definitely try the PHEV offerings by BYD. It even comes with 10 speaker sound system by Infinity and after a recent economy run it travelled 1600km on a single full tank of gas and one full charge of battery.

There could be a possibility. If China sends the car with one tiny piece missing that it ships separately and which then gets attached in Australia. This way the price can be kept very low...and it can be sold as a car made in Australia.

@@thyristo right, because nobody will catch onto that and enact regulations that can't be skirted...

@@thyristo australia has no car industry anymore, not competitive to build here due to high wages and low market capacity to warrant domestic production so this isn't a tariff/tax thing manfacturers charge aussies more because aussies are among the richest in the world and can afford to pay high prices there is a LOT of fat/profit to cut in australia prices and you can see that as the EV market heats up and the price declines are much higher here than other places they could reduce the price significantly, but that is only going to happen because a competitor is offering a better deal cheapest EV here is 35k (mg ZS) so realistically they were to sell the car tomorrow the cheapest we'd likely see it is around $34k
