The Electric Viking · Geely just built the most efficient EV drivetrain ever made – 93.8% efficiency · 26 Jul 2026 podcast

That's about 165 pounds. voice-verified

And that's thanks partly to magnesium alloy housing. voice-verified

Geely says that's 15% lighter than mainstream industry products and delivers a power density of 11.8 kilowatts per kilogram. voice-verified

To be honest, that power density is nowhere near some of the other motors that I've talked about on this channel. voice-verified

For example, YASA's motors, their power density is voice-verified

is orders of magnitude higher than that. voice-verified

And you'll see what I'm talking about if you watch the video. voice-verified

However, this is very good for the type of motor that it is. voice-verified

High voltage wiring is cut by 30%. voice-verified

Low voltage wiring is reduced by 15%. voice-verified

And because the whole unit stands under 325 millimeters tall, it frees up around 28 liters of extra boot space. voice-verified

Efficiency gains you can literally put your luggage in. voice-verified

Now here's where it gets really interesting for real world driving. voice-verified

The system runs on an 800 volt platform and Geely's one chip technology compresses control latency from an industry average of 40 milliseconds down to two milliseconds. voice-verified

That's a massive improvement. voice-verified

In a recent test around Qinghai Lake, a vehicle running this drivetrain achieved energy consumption of 8.2 kWh per 100 km. voice-verified

Now, I should state, that's clearly not an average real-world consumption figure. voice-verified

So that was a very specific test condition, but even the official CLTC rating comes in as low as 10.7 kWh per 100 km, which is extremely low. voice-verified

Compare that to a Tesla Model 3, one of the most efficient EVs you can buy today, which isn't super expensive like a Lucid, which typically sits at around 13 kilowatt hours per 100 kilometers on comparable cycles. voice-verified

So it's more efficient than even a Tesla Model 3, which is quite a surprising result. voice-verified
