Referred to by Geely as its 16-in-1 Intelligent E-Drive system, it consolidates a long list of key electric drive hardware into a single unit weighing 165 lbs (75 kg). Tucked inside are the motor, the DC-to-DC converter, the on-board charger, the vehicle control unit, the motor controller, and the high-voltage battery management systems.

Geely says the Galaxy TT averaged just 8.2 kWh/100 km during an efficiency run around China’s Qinghai Lake, taking a Guinness World Record for the lowest energy consumption on a circumnavigation of the lake by a production battery-electric sedan.

    Thanks.
    That sounds true. The wording was just so strange it didn’t make sense to me.

      The only reason I’m guessing this is because it sounds like something an engineer said to the marketing team and they just copy-pasted the quote but also cut it off at a random point because they didn’t understand what the engineer meant and didn’t really want the statement to be too long.

        First marketing and then journalists, the perfect recipe for fucking up technical info.
