Geely's New Sedan Claims 450 Miles From A Battery Most EVs Would Call Small | Carscoops (www.carscoops.com)

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.

Poorly translated but it sounds similar to gas vehicle statements that low weight means less gas wasted.
