Galaxy, a newer EV lineup under the Geely Auto umbrella, has launched its latest model, the E5. The new all-electric SUV was designed for overseas markets outside its native China and will have a starting price below $16,000.

Chinese-built EVs are closer to hitting the US market as Geely-owned brand ZEEKR has launched its first two models in Mexico. Our neighbors to the South can now choose between ZEEKR’s flagship 001 shooting brake or its all-electric X SUV.

Media out of China reports that JiYue’s second all-electric model, the 07, has reached some local showrooms and will officially launch in September. Advertised as a fierce competitor to the Tesla Model 3, the JiYue 07 will arrive in multiple powertrain and battery size options, offering impressive (CLTC) range options.

Young EV-centric brand ZEEKR is continuing its efforts to become a globally recognized name in the space as it gears up for an initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) this week. The Geely-owned sub-brand will go public later this week and seeks a valuation of over 5 billion dollars.

While many are still skeptical about the plausibility of 100% autonomous vehicles, Geely Auto is showing that its new AI digital chassis can not only safely operate on snow and ice without a driver but can also pull off fully autonomous drifting. See the EV in action in the video below.

Who needs Volvo anyway? Shortly after co-parent company Volvo Cars announced plans to cut ties with Polestar, the EV-centric brand has turned to an all-star lineup of international banks for external funding totaling close to one billion dollars. Polestar’s other owner, Geely Holding, is still very much involved and will also help Polestar continue work to roll out its two incoming electric SUVs and beyond.

Geely Holding Group subsidiary Geely Auto has announced a vehicle purchase agreement with fellow marque brand ZEEKR to sell its EVs and aftermarket parts in Mexico. With the agreement, Geely hopes to fast-track ZEEKR’s line of advanced new energy vehicles to Mexican consumers hungry for more sustainable alternatives to combustion models as a stepping stone to further expansions South to Latin America.

More bad news for Polestar. The struggling luxury EV maker just lost its funding from Volvo, which is handing full responsibility for the brand over to China’s Geely. However, Volvo is letting them down easy, saying it’s a “natural evolution” for the two brands.

EV-centric brand Polestar just announced it will cut hundreds of jobs in its global workforce in order to lean down and reduce spending, as it looks to bolster sales of its upcoming Polestar 3 and 4 models without relying on additional funding from parents Geely and Volvo Cars.

Should Volvo take EV maker Polestar (PSNY) private? Investment research firm Bernstein says it may make more sense.

Less than a year after its launch in China, Geely’s sub-brand Galaxy has begun selling its first all-electric model – the E8. Starting at a price below $25,000, the Galaxy E8 sedan looks extra sleek, and it touts some more than adequate EV technology, arriving as a genuine contender in an ultra-competitive Chinese market.

A new electric fastback, the JiYue 07, was unveiled this week after winning the 2023 German Red Dot and iF design awards. The new electric sedan will take on Tesla’s Model 3 sitting atop the same platform that powers the Volvo EX90 and EX30 models.

If you’ve ever flown on the double-decker monster that is an Airbus A380, you know just what a bizarrely special experience it is — a plane so massive, you can barely tell it’s taking off or landing (let alone that it’s cruising 35,000 feet in the air). The latest MPV (MPEV?) from Geely-owned LEVC (London Electric Vehicle Company) is inspired by that wonder of engineering, and it’s a big boy indeed. With an 8-passenger layout and a length of over 17 feet (5.3 meters, specifically), the L380 is a vehicle designed to jet get groups around in comfort.

Up-and-coming Chinese EV maker NIO is partnering with Geely, the company behind Volvo, Polestar, and several other brands for EV battery swapping.

Just over two months after announcing a restructuring of its business partnership to bring its AI-powered 01 ROBOCAR to market, Geely and Baidu have officially launched the futuristic autonomous EV in China. The 01 arrives as the world’s first consumer vehicle featuring Baidu’s full Apollo suite of Level 4 autonomous driving solutions.

A mere two years after its inception, Baidu’s robotic- and AI-centric EV brand JIDU is getting a rebranding with the help of Geely – previously a minority stake holder increasing its role to help get the partnership’s flagship model into production this year. Introducing JI YUE.

A new fully electric pickup is headed for international markets. And no, it’s not a Rivian or a Ford. China’s own Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (Geely Group) announced its first batch of electric trucks for export rolled off the assembly line Tuesday.

A Chinese electric car designed for battery swapping has dropped its entire battery pack while driving down the road.

Niche performance automakers Lotus Cars and Renault Group subsidiary Alpine have announced that after two years, they are no long co-developing an all-electric sports coupe that was slotted to replace the combustion-dependent Alpine A110. Here’s the latest.

Volvo and Polestar owner Geely announced it had raised its stake in the iconic British luxury automaker Aston Martin to 17% as part of a new relationship agreement.

Chinese EV maker ZEEKR officially unveiled its new “X” electric SUV in China Wednesday. With up to 348 miles range and a surprisingly low starting price of around $28,000 (189,800 yuan), the ZEEKR X is set to take on a surging Tesla, among other luxury automakers, in China before it launches in Europe.
