Geely electric vehicles cannot start for the following reasons: Insufficient fuel: Insufficient battery power or low fuel level in the car is the easiest item to check and the most likely cause of the car failing to start. Steering wheel locked: This is a common anti-theft feature found in many small cars. After removing the key, if the steering wheel is not straightened or has been turned, the self-locking function of the steering wheel will activate, causing the steering lock pin and steering column to engage together. The steering wheel cannot move, and the car cannot start. Incorrect gear position: Check the car's gear position. Generally, the P (Park) or N (Neutral) gear is the correct position for starting an automatic transmission car. If the owner is careless and leaves the gear in R (Reverse) or another position, the result will not only be the car failing to start but also a potential safety hazard.

I've been driving a Geely electric car for a while and have encountered startup issues before. The most common problem is a depleted main battery. Since electric vehicles rely on high-voltage batteries, if the charge is too low or the battery has aged, it simply won't start. Check if the charging port has accumulated dust or if the plug isn't securely connected, as charging station malfunctions can also indirectly cause this. Another frequent issue is a depleted key fob battery—the coin cell inside the remote key can fail over time, and replacing it usually solves the problem. Delayed system software updates can also cause bugs; in such cases, try restarting the infotainment system or disconnecting the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery to reset it. Blown fuses aren't uncommon either, especially in the electrical control box—refer to the manual to locate and inspect them. Sticky relays or triggered high-temperature protection can also occur, often in hot weather. If the car won't start, avoid repeated attempts to prevent motor damage. Instead, plug in the charger and wait a few minutes—the battery might recover enough for a normal startup. If there's no improvement, promptly seek professional diagnosis to avoid the danger of being stranded mid-journey.

I found that many electric vehicle startup failures stem from simple issues that can be initially checked by oneself. For example, if the high-voltage battery is dead, connect to the car via the mobile app to check the battery gauge—if it's near zero, charge it quickly. Inspect the charging cable and port connections, as looseness or corrosion can cause charging interruptions. Key fob issues like dead batteries or signal interference can be resolved by replacing the battery or trying to start the car by placing the key closer. Small battery pack failures are also common; these power the auxiliary systems, and insufficient charge will trigger an alarm. Circuit fuses are wear-prone components—check the corresponding position in the engine compartment's fuse box to see if they're blown. Software-related faults are frequent too; sometimes the infotainment system freezes, and a reboot or computer-connected update might solve it. Aging relays or switches require professional tools for inspection, but you can first check if any warning lights are illuminated on the dashboard. Note that battery performance drops quickly in cold weather, so preheating can help. In short, spending ten minutes on simple checks can avoid towing costs. If unsuccessful, contact Geely's after-sales service immediately—safety comes first.

As an ordinary user, I believe that the failure of Geely electric vehicles to start is mostly related to electrical issues. The most common cause is insufficient battery charge, either due to forgetting to charge or charging equipment malfunction. It's also important to check the cleanliness of the charging port, as dust blockage can affect the current. Fuses are prone to blowing, so inspect if they are melted. Weak signal from a low key fob battery can be resolved by replacing it with a new one for testing. Software issues, such as bugs caused by outdated systems, can often be fixed with a restart. Relay failures or control unit malfunctions are also possible but much rarer. Timely action ensures safety, so it's best to visit a specialized repair center.
