This electric sedan is worth 25,000 euros!

With the Galaxy E8, Geely aims to convert die-hard internal combustion engine enthusiasts to electric vehicles.

You probably feel like a new Chinese electric car is being introduced every two days… and you’re not wrong! This only proves how far ahead this market is compared to the rest of the world. A few days ago, Geely launched the Galaxy E8, a fully electric sedan about the size of a Tesla Model S and priced under $25,000.

Volvo, Zeekr, Lynk & Co, and Polestar, ring a bell? Vehicles from the Chinese group Geely dominate the top sales charts of electric vehicles both inside and outside China. However, this is the first directly Geely-branded car to use the SEA platform, the same as on the Zeekr 001 and Polestar 4. This is very significant because, unlike Volvo, Zeekr, and Polestar, Geely isn’t officially considered a brand in itself.

Even in China, many large sedan models still run on internal combustion engines, so the E8 is targeting a still-restricted market—drivers seeking a large fully electric sedan without breaking the bank.

But be careful, this is by no means a discounted car. In its most advanced—and thus most expensive—version, the E8 features an 800 V charging architecture and an impressive 637 horsepower, likely allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3.5 seconds. The more affordable versions feature a “only” 400 V architecture but are equipped with 62 kWh to 76 kWh batteries, still offering a maximum range of over 600 km.

Inside, the full-width 8K resolution screen controls all the functions of the car. Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 processor, it’s claimed to be the most powerful screen ever used in a car.

If it begins its journey in China, there is a chance to see it someday in Europe and the United States, but at what price…
