What is the range of the Geely EV500?

[KendraMarie]

Geely EV500 has a comprehensive driving range of 305km under standard conditions and 360km at a constant speed of 60km/h. Driving Range: Driving range, also known as endurance capability, refers to the total distance a vehicle or ship can travel continuously with maximum fuel reserves. For electric vehicles, the driving range is the distance traveled from a fully charged state of the power battery to the end of the test under standard conditions, which is an important economic indicator for electric vehicles. New Energy Vehicle Driving Range: It refers to the distance an electric vehicle can travel at a constant speed under ideal road conditions, wind speed, temperature, etc., on a single full charge. Hybrid vehicles and lead-acid battery vehicles (low-speed vehicles) generally have relatively shorter driving ranges.

We ride-hailing drivers know the Geely EV500 new energy vehicle like the back of our hands. The official claim is a 503 km comprehensive range, but actual mileage depends on driving conditions. In city driving, it's no problem to get over 400 km. However, if you push it over 120 km/h on highways, the range drops straight to around 350 km. Winter heating is the biggest power drain – you'd be lucky to get 380 km on a full charge. From my daily booking experience, I start looking for charging stations at 300 km, keeping a 50 km buffer for peace of mind. After 3-5 years of use, battery degradation is about 10%, which further reduces the range.

As an EV owner, I've conducted real-world range tests on the EV500. This model comes with a 62kWh battery pack, and its advertised 503km range is based on NEDC standards. City commuting is most energy-efficient - with AC on, it can achieve around 430km. However, highway driving significantly reduces range, especially when exceeding 110km/h where battery drain becomes rapid. Temperature impacts are particularly notable, with range dropping by 25% in sub-zero conditions. Based on practical experience, I recommend planning trips using 75%-80% of the nominal range and maintaining some battery buffer for safety.

The salesperson said the car has a combined range of 503 km when I bought it, but actual usage depends on driving habits. My daily commute is 60 km, so charging once a week works just fine. The key is to make good use of regenerative braking—set it to the highest level, and even braking downhill can recharge the battery. In summer, using air conditioning reduces the range to 420 km, and it’s even more noticeable in winter. Fast charging takes about 40 minutes to go from 30% to 80%, which is enough for emergencies. It’s important not to drain the battery completely before charging, as it harms the battery. You should start charging when the battery level drops to around 20%.
