Geely Automobile has taken another solid step forward on the road of independent innovation in the field of new energy vehicles. Recently, Geely announced that its self-developed and produced Aegis short knife battery has successfully rolled off the assembly line, and will be equipped for the first time on the Galaxy E5 pure electric SUV launched on August 3. This move not only demonstrates Geely's strong strength in new energy technology, but also marks a new level of competitiveness in the pure electric vehicle market.
Technological innovation: the characteristics of the Aegis short knife battery
The Aegis short knife battery is an important innovation achievement of Geely in new energy technology. The battery uses blade lithium iron phosphate technology with a length of 580mm, which allows for greater safety and placement flexibility through a shorter, more compact size design. With an energy density of 192Wh/kg, a cycle life of 3,500 cycles, a safe driving range of more than 1 million kilometers, and a fast charging capability from 10% to 80% in 17 minutes, it provides consumers with a safer and more efficient energy solution.
Safety: Superior performance under rigorous testing
In terms of safety, the Aegis short knife battery has passed the 8-needle puncture test of the China Automotive Center, showing its stability under extreme conditions. The results of this test prove Geely's leading position in battery safety technology and provide consumers with more reliable protection.
Market competitiveness: Pre-sale performance of the Galaxy E5 electric SUV
As the first model equipped with the Aegis short knife battery, the Galaxy E5 has opened pre-sales, with a total of 5 different configurations and a pre-sale price of 123,000-157,000 yuan. This price range shows Geely's competitiveness in the new energy vehicle market. The Galaxy E5 comes in a variety of body sizes and configurations, with an advanced floating center display, LCD instrument cluster and head-up display, and the high-spec version has up to 16 speakers, including headrest speakers, providing an immersive audio experience for the driver and passengers.

Battery life: Diverse battery specifications
The Galaxy E5 offers two battery specifications, 49.52kWh and 60.22kWh, with a range of 440km and 530km respectively, to meet the needs of different consumers. This range has a clear advantage in the same class of pure electric SUVs.
Summary
Geely Automobile's Aegis short knife battery was successfully developed and installed on the Galaxy E5 pure electric SUV for the first time, which is not only an affirmation of Geely's technological innovation ability, but also brings new vitality to the new energy vehicle market. With the continuous advancement of technology and the expansion of the market, Geely Automobile is expected to play a more important role in the future to promote the further development of the electric vehicle industry. We look forward to the success of the first installation of the Aegis short knife battery on the Galaxy E5 pure electric SUV, bringing a new driving experience to consumers, and at the same time contributing new strength to the new energy vehicle industry in China and even the world."
