Geely Brings E2 Compact EV to Germany From €19,990

Geely aims to pressure European small‑EV rivals with low prices, an eight‑year battery warranty, a planned dealer rollout.

Overview

  • The E2 launch, reported Monday, Sept. 14, 2026, sets a base price of €19,990 for the Pro trim and includes a promotional year of free charging and leasing offers from about €99 per month.
  • Geely offers three trims—Pro, Max and Ultra—with a 35.35 kWh battery and about 252 km range in the Pro and a 47 kWh pack with roughly 345 km range in the Max/Ultra, and DC charging rates of 60 kW (Pro) and 80 kW (Max/Ultra).
  • The company guarantees the drivetrain and battery for eight years or up to 200,000 km with a 70% remaining‑capacity clause, a warranty stance positioned as a key selling point for buyers worried about battery longevity.
  • Early reviews praise roomy packaging, a 375–1,320 litre cargo volume plus a 70 litre frunk and generous equipment for the price while flagging modest acceleration, muted steering and braking feedback, and slower DC charging on the base Pro as clear tradeoffs.
  • Geely has started a German dealer rollout with about 50 partner contracts expected by the end of September, a move that underscores how Chinese automakers are using aggressive pricing, bundled charging and local networks to expand in Europe.
