Frequently asked questions
What are the Geely EX5 and Zeekr X like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 198 miles for the Geely EX5 and 171 miles for the Zeekr X - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Geely EX5 goes roughly 27 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 20-20 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Geely EX5 or the Zeekr X?
The Zeekr X is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 65 mm narrower than the Geely EX5. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 564 mm of total clearance for the Zeekr X and about 499 mm of total clearance for the Geely EX5. The Geely EX5 also turns in a 0.7 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Geely EX5 or the Zeekr X?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Geely EX5 and 90% for the Zeekr X. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use LFP-type cells, which are happy charged to 100% every day. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
