China’s Geely has unveiled a new electric drive system that integrates just about all the hardware and software functions into a single unit.
The “Thunder” setup has 30% less high-voltage wiring and 15% less low-voltage wiring compared to conventional systems.
It weighs just 165 pounds but makes 328 horsepower. It’s also extremely efficient.
Everybody knows that electric motors are much more efficient than gas engines, but that doesn’t mean engineers have given up and called it a day. Despite the advantages over combustion, there’s still room for improvement in the electric car game, and China’s Geely wants to show everybody that it can lead the way.
This is the new “Thunder” intelligent electric drive system, a compact and low-weight all-in-one drive setup for EVs, which promises impressive efficiency and more than decent performance.
