The crumble zone is there in an EV. You're safer inside the cabin because of the gigacasting. An EV has no engin block being pushed inside the cabin. The front and back are designed to absorb impact as in any other high-tech car.
@@Jonse70 There can be no crumple zones, hence the solid casting, the rigidity is required to prevent the battery being deformed and likely burning. This comes at the expense of passenger impact safety.

4:27 "Cell to body which is Giga casting"??? I don't think so... Cell to body is like a "million" pieces of batteries put to cells, "wrapped" to a huge battery pack and welded (or something strong bound) to the car, so basically that is the floor plate. Giga casting is hot metal injected into pressing machines and a full section of a car is created in 1 single piece. Both technologies can be used independently or together. Both making the car very strong but they are different things...
The hottest year on record, 2023, was also the most extreme for wildfires, according to new research. Both the frequency and intensity of extreme wildfires have more than doubled in the last two decades, the study found. And when the ecological, social and economic consequences of wildfires were accounted for, six of the last seven years were the most “energetically intense.” “That we’ve detected such a big increase over such a short period of time makes the findings even more shocking,” said Calum Cunningham, a postdoctoral researcher in pyrogeography at the University of Tasmania and lead author of the study published Monday in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution. “We’re seeing the manifestations of a warming and drying climate before our very eyes in these extreme fires.” Last week wildfires in New Mexico killed two people and burned more than 24,000 acres; in Southern California, more than 14,000 acres burned near Los Angeles.
Very interesting but still people deny their role since 1900 in climate change, mostly from the „hidden“ sources that are not cars contributing ‚only‘ to one third. But all the tankers, idiot cruise ships and container carriers, fishing fleets polluting the seas. But what we see is easy explained when you have some idea of mathematics and physics. The developments in nature are never a linear one as limited by brain humans still think. The developments are exponential. So e.g. Tesla is still growing at high rate but adding only 10% every years becomes more and more demanding. If a chess board were to have wheat placed upon each square and you double the number of grains in any square how much do you have on the 64th?

In certain areas, stiffer floor pan for instance makes for much better side impact protection and is good at keeping the passenger compartment from cruising front,side and back.
@@TheRt440 86% of serious injuries and fatalities are from side impacts at speeds below 36mph, these are mainly from vehicles pulling out of side streets into the traffic flow in towns and cities. Crumple zones work well in front and rear slow speed impacts but not so good over 40mph where the rigidity of the floor pan and front fire wall are important for protecting the occupants. One reason ev do well in side impact crash tests is how the battery pack helps with this rigidity.
Hi from Canada! The moose test is how much damage the passenger area receives when a moose is struck and collapses on the cab. God made a moose out of spare parts - much like a platapus. The exception is a moose weighs in excess of a 1000lbs with long legs. The struck moose has its legs broken by a vehicle and the body comes down very hard on the car when it's hit a 100+ kmph...
Right now an ev has around 2 gallons of gas worth of energy and does around 250 miles. Imagine when you have double that, 4 gallons of energy and 500 miles. Batteries are so new that its inevitable with so much investments and having so many markets to sell a battery to. Batteries are the new oil.
I'm not so sure the physics checks out regarding the giga casting resisting deformation.. I'm open to corrections but if the cars is harder to deform the collision time will be shorter and therefore you the driver will get more injured from the crash But I think it's safer if the crash is smaller scale/speed
I'm guessing this technology will just make the parts of the passenger compartment part of the body stiffer. For example making the entire door ring less prone to warping. But the front cabin part, should still apply a lot of the cushioning technology Geely learned from volvo.
@@LekkerDopswhy it has to be so logically difficult 🫤🫤 i would comment on that Same thing as Westerns brands in China did , open storage/distribution parts, subcontractors building parts, etc as soon the cars comes in,costumer services kicks in, etc etc same as other brands as they started selling any where in the world before Copy?!

Cars are designed to progressively deform in a collision. The crumple zones safely absorb kinetic energy that otherwise might injure the occupants. A gigacasting is mostly too stiff and hence more dangerous.
To be absolutely clear, Sam, the highest crash standard is ENCAP 5. In the standard, the car has to yield or fold to reduce the stresses on your neck to as low as possible. In a rigid car the mass of your head will break your neck, which will be fatal. You will note that the bolts on a plane seat are designed to break to stop this happening. You have more chances of surviving flying through the air than being rigid with the plane. If the company is saying its cars are safer due to its rigidit, please do not buy one.
19,000 to 25,000 Europe, WLTP 400 km, 250 miles for 60kwh, plus fast charging, plus safety, plus charging cycles plus charging to 100% meaning more miles per cycle.
Geely are onto something. All their advertising is for EVs but they’ve just announced (2 weeks ago) that they have teamed up with Renault to build a range of small highly efficient IC engines for future hybrid cars. And we’re talking big, big money. So Geely obviously have done their research and found that IC engines have a very definite future alongside their electric counterparts. This is where Tesla will lose ground, they have no hybrids to offer.
Eve Energy (with 6C LFP battery tech.) is going to supply BMW very soon and they will be producing from inside the EU. Don't count out the old dogs just yet :-)
I’m confused. At 2:10 there is a 3D schematic of a hybrid with a front mounted 4 cylinder petrol motor and he’s saying this “EV” is awesome and has incredible range, etc. But it’s a hybrid, so has Sam been shown some data while he was in China that is saying hybrids will be on a par with EV sales at some stage in the future.
What's that noise on your mic 🎤? It's like a "muted" sorta high-pitch constant noise, reminiscent of the noise you'd hear from recordings made on old video cassette camcorders, which would pick up the noise made from the rotating video head.
Tesla will undoubtedly crave this technology and be eager to acquire it. Once they obtain it, they will promote and hype it up, aiming to boost their stock price significantly.
Crash deformation is a design feature! If the body doesn't deform - you do, to many pieces. Giga casting is faster, cheaper, more efficient, but it MUST deform in a crash. Sam, read the specs.

The truth about safety is not how rigid the structure is, but how it deforms to absorb the kinetic energy. The squishy thing behind the wheel won't stop moving if the car stops instantly. And the bits inside the squishy thing are what get damaged. Notably the brain. So controlled deformation/breakage are actually better. With castings there is a better chance to design-in controlled absorption of the energy. More expensive to repair, but ya cain't repair a torn brain!
Being in Aus i can see how the moose test isn't that important. Roo test maybe? I've known people in Northern Ontario that have the roof taken off their car from striking a moose. Yes, they ducked in time. For those not experienced with our majestic emperor of the forest, the moose test is for stability at speed. When you see one you will understand. 😮😮
According to copilot, it costs about $750 a year more to insure a 2024 Tesla model Y versus a 2024 Honda crv . And that I suspect is due to the fact that a lot of the techniques Tesla uses are not good for creating cheap repair costs.
@@ronfarnsworth7074 Not for me. They are about the same size SUVs. Insurance costs eat up the benefit of cheap electricity of home charging and no oil changes. I wonder if Testa thinks much about how cheap his cars will be to repair. Like their battery is so integrated into the car, I wonder how much it would cost to replace it.
@@jlamm2223443 If size is the only parameter then I agree they are close. But features, performance, and several cost of ownership comparisons I saw which I admit variable costs can make debateable, well, it's always up to you of course. You might look into the Munro Engineering vids about repair of gigacast cars and also how long even the 10 - 15 yr old battery tech is lasting. Average gas car is junked at 175k, most batteries are lasting longer than that and come with warranties as long or longer than gas motor warranties. And the new batteries are way way better than ever. Try a search for million mile batteries. Good luck with your new wheels..
made in china is way better than many others these days. many companies can't catch up, lose market share and simply cut corners to survive. i have replaced 3 jap and korean branded ac units in 13 years and my jap fridge parts have been falling apart, making noises while all my china branded equivalents are still running without much hassle or maintenance.
If it’s got an LFP battery I’ll buy one if it’s under$40000 and jut park it in my garage. Then I go of grid and if the sun is not shining I go and charge it for free in a shopping centre 😊😊
I appreciate your reporting on the Chinese EV’s. Unfortunately, being in North America (Canada) we are not being allowed the chance to have these wonderful advances in technology because of political mechanizations. Fortunately, we DO have Tesla though it would be nice to have some other REAL choices for EV’s not the junk from the North American legacy auto. Please keep up the good work of your reporting, it is much appreciated!
Well, giga casting will also make a smaller than "falling of the cliff crash" really expensive, meaning the insurance really expensive. So not all is positive with it
Do you know that deformation is the way to disperse energy in an accident? A car rock solid can be intact after a crush but the humans inside can die because of the energy of the impact that is transferred completely to the body
It begs the question if you believe the car won't be falling apart in five years. It still has retain all it's attached parts through the life span of the car. We just don't, or at least I don't have much data on Chinese manufacturers build quality.
I can almost guarantee that the obsession with higher range will end with cars driving themselves in a couple of years. need more range, hop on to the next self-driving car that already has ur route planned and owning any vehicle would be outright stupid. Even the self driving ones.
Giga casting could be adapted to internal combustion vehicles too. When is the Electric Viking going to explore the water to combustible gas technology as was perfected by such inventors as Stanely Meyer? The hydrogen/oxygen gas produced by this technology is much "greener" than those short life batteries used in EVs. Water is cheap and available. I've learned that salt water can work with this technology as well. Virtually free energy so why not? Many existing vehicles, jet planes, and turbine engines could be easily converted to run on water.
@@rogerphelps9939 Debunked by whom, those that are in the pay of the elites (big oil). The inventor Dennis Klien also ran his car on water. If you knew some basic science, you would know that water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Hydrogen if you didn't know, is a very explosive gas. When water is hit by the appropriate resonant frequency the bond of the molecule breaks down and an explosive gas made up of separate hydrogen and oxygen molecules is created. It is then immediately used to run an internal combustion engine. Some people only believe in authoritative sources presented to them by the elites. You seem to be such a person. It is the people that don't follow the "experts" presented to them by the ruling elites that advance civilization. Water as predicted by Jules Vern is the fuel of the future.
Cars with stiffer bodies also means that if they hit a car without such stiffness, a motorbikers, a cyclist or a pedestrian - they do even more damage to them. That might fly in more primitive countries - but it won't in Germany.
I'm guessing he means that this technology should make the parts of the passenger compartment portion of the body stiffer. For example making the whole door rings less prone to deformation. But the front cabin part, should still apply a lot of the cushioning technology Geely learned from volvo.If Geely wanted to pass Euro-NCAP, it would certainly have passed the Vulnerable Road Users test

In 1938 the German National Socialist Workers Party must have given Grandpa Evans an all expenses paid round trip to the Berlin Auto Show so he could see the superior design, economy and engineering of ‘The Peoples Car’ and tell everyone about it. No? 🤔
most of today's BEV have poor maintenance economy. Often their battery can only be replaced in their entirety - just like when a small feature on an iPhone breaks, you can all but replace the entire motherboard. But the Wuling Starlight, a car from Wuling (a joint venture constructed by SAIC, GM, and others, whose products are often marketed abroad under the Chevrolet label), could theoretically be swapped out for a particular set of cells in the battery alone, and may be able to greatly reduce the cost of repair after an accident
Hang on ... what you say about giga casting being safer because it is less likely to deform flys in the face of everying in the past. Cars got safer BECAUSE they were designed to deform in a collision. The deformation absorbs energy that otherwise is transferred to the passengers. What are you talking about? What you are saying contradicts all of the crash test data from the last 50+ years!
It's supposed to affect the passenger compartment only - after all, if Geely is going to pass Euro-NCAP, it's surely going to pass the various occupant and pedestrian safety tests properly.
Still having jetlag? All cars without gigacast are dangerous? you do know they have to deform at a crash? Why are you showing a hybrid while talking about EV?

The truth about safety is not how rigid the structure is, but how it deforms to absorb the kinetic energy. The squishy thing behind the wheel won't stop moving if the car stops instantly. And the bits inside the squishy thing are what get damaged. Notably the brain. So controlled deformation/breakage are actually better. With castings there is a better chance to design-in controlled absorption of the energy. More expensive to repair, but ya cain't repair a torn brain!
Being in Aus i can see how the moose test isn't that important. Roo test maybe? I've known people in Northern Ontario that have the roof taken off their car from striking a moose. Yes, they ducked in time.
For those not experienced with our majestic emperor of the forest, the moose test is for stability at speed. When you see one you will understand. 😮😮
According to copilot, it costs about $750 a year more to insure a 2024 Tesla model Y versus a 2024 Honda crv . And that I suspect is due to the fact that a lot of the techniques Tesla uses are not good for creating cheap repair costs.
Are those 2 cars apples/oranges?
@@ronfarnsworth7074 Not for me. They are about the same size SUVs. Insurance costs eat up the benefit of cheap electricity of home charging and no oil changes. I wonder if Testa thinks much about how cheap his cars will be to repair. Like their battery is so integrated into the car, I wonder how much it would cost to replace it.
@@jlamm2223443 If size is the only parameter then I agree they are close. But features, performance, and several cost of ownership comparisons I saw which I admit variable costs can make debateable, well, it's always up to you of course.
You might look into the Munro Engineering vids about repair of gigacast cars and also how long even the 10 - 15 yr old battery tech is lasting. Average gas car is junked at 175k, most batteries are lasting longer than that and come with warranties as long or longer than gas motor warranties. And the new batteries are way way better than ever. Try a search for million mile batteries.
Good luck with your new wheels..
Sam, please ask Sandy Monroe for his analysis…..
The value of BMW is in the logo and made out of factory in Europe and not China. It also tell your neighbours that you have money to burn.
BMW manufactures in China 😂
made in china is way better than many others these days. many companies can't catch up, lose market share and simply cut corners to survive. i have replaced 3 jap and korean branded ac units in 13 years and my jap fridge parts have been falling apart, making noises while all my china branded equivalents are still running without much hassle or maintenance.
That's a good looking car. Is it coming to Australia?
By the time we see all the impressive figures this car does not achieve I am sure we will all be getting over hyped on the next new thing.
If it’s got an LFP battery I’ll buy one if it’s under$40000 and jut park it in my garage. Then I go of grid and if the sun is not shining I go and charge it for free in a shopping centre 😊😊
I'm envious, your shopping center gets free charging, ours gets two hours off parking at most!🥲
I appreciate your reporting on the Chinese EV’s. Unfortunately, being in North America (Canada) we are not being allowed the chance to have these wonderful advances in technology because of political mechanizations. Fortunately, we DO have Tesla though it would be nice to have some other REAL choices for EV’s not the junk from the North American legacy auto.
Please keep up the good work of your reporting, it is much appreciated!
So you never pay much attention to the Moose test? I fear for all the Aussie footballers and rugby players nicknamed Moose!
Competition in China is so stiff that they keep breaking each other's record which is tough for the rest to catch up.
This or aion v 2gen?
Geely must come to Europe, period. Galaxy, Zeekr etc. are all needed in Europe.
Well, giga casting will also make a smaller than "falling of the cliff crash" really expensive, meaning the insurance really expensive. So not all is positive with it
And for those of us who can't afford a new car, what would you suggest.?
Damn, that's a nice battery!
Do you know that deformation is the way to disperse energy in an accident? A car rock solid can be intact after a crush but the humans inside can die because of the energy of the impact that is transferred completely to the body
It begs the question if you believe the car won't be falling apart in five years. It still has retain all it's attached parts through the life span of the car. We just don't, or at least I don't have much data on Chinese manufacturers build quality.
Sounds like gily is the miracle ev that is being build........
I think RHD country will get Proton version of Galaxy E5... Probably
Chinese battery innovation is really scary 😂, no wonder why legacy automakers are scared
I can almost guarantee that the obsession with higher range will end with cars driving themselves in a couple of years. need more range, hop on to the next self-driving car that already has ur route planned and owning any vehicle would be outright stupid. Even the self driving ones.
The animation at 2;30 ish is of an ICE vehicle.
if true is very frighttening, perfect battery for submarine,drone etc.....welcome to new era of warfare
This is the most advanced battery .. EVER … (until Sam has another new advanced battery. EVER… next week).
Will these high mileage super fast charging LFP batteries be the final nail in the coffin for Nio battery swapping?
I wouldn't think so. Needs to be a lot better than this. I do believe this battery is really impressive though
Geely has the security technologies of the foremost safest cars from Volvo and Sweden so what do you expect?
Want Zeekr 001 in Oz please ❤️
Charging more than 300kW is really not nesesery , more charges Yes , on every car park .
>300 kw is definitively needed to convert the ICE lovers! Lets strive for 1000 kw charging
You didn't mention price range.
Remember batteries are the new oil.
Giga casting could be adapted to internal combustion vehicles too. When is the Electric Viking going to explore the water to combustible gas technology as was perfected by such inventors as Stanely Meyer? The hydrogen/oxygen gas produced by this technology is much "greener" than those short life batteries used in EVs. Water is cheap and available. I've learned that salt water can work with this technology as well. Virtually free energy so why not? Many existing vehicles, jet planes, and turbine engines could be easily converted to run on water.
Please do not post that totally debunked rubbish. I suggest you learn some physics and then you should understand why it is dross
@@rogerphelps9939 Debunked by whom, those that are in the pay of the elites (big oil). The inventor Dennis Klien also ran his car on water. If you knew some basic science, you would know that water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Hydrogen if you didn't know, is a very explosive gas. When water is hit by the appropriate resonant frequency the bond of the molecule breaks down and an explosive gas made up of separate hydrogen and oxygen molecules is created. It is then immediately used to run an internal combustion engine. Some people only believe in authoritative sources presented to them by the elites. You seem to be such a person. It is the people that don't follow the "experts" presented to them by the ruling elites that advance civilization. Water as predicted by Jules Vern is the fuel of the future.
Waiting for your China tour video
Cars with stiffer bodies also means that if they hit a car without such stiffness, a motorbikers, a cyclist or a pedestrian - they do even more damage to them.
That might fly in more primitive countries - but it won't in Germany.
I'm guessing he means that this technology should make the parts of the passenger compartment portion of the body stiffer. For example making the whole door rings less prone to deformation. But the front cabin part, should still apply a lot of the cushioning technology Geely learned from volvo.If Geely wanted to pass Euro-NCAP, it would certainly have passed the Vulnerable Road Users test
No. This means the whole car doesn't deform...
Great video, but all are just claims. We must see first.
This is sounding like a Geely "sponsored" clip...
This EV has a piston engine =====> Hybrid ???
I seriously doubt that Chinese EVs ever land in Canada…😮
I think you may be right. We're stuck with the legacy carmakers and their agendas.
Is thus a catl battery.
According to DongCheDi (which is currently the most mainstream automotive information platform in China, but not necessarily accurate), the Galaxy E5's battery does not come from CATL
Why would I? Well a BMW, Porsche, Isuzu…. Will tow my boat, Trailer, Caravan….. these don’t. Shark is only good for a poultry 2700kg. Issue I have with many Chinese EV’s is they all look generic Chinese on the inside. Does everyone need to use the same plastic steering wheel? Anyway….. still waiting for the L60…..
Zipp wheels... nice
An MG4 is around $40,000 and equivalent ICE is less than $30,000 does that give you some idea why people are not buying just yet?
Clearly you live somewhere where they punitively tax EVs. You should be able to get an NG4 for around 30000 dollars.
@@rogerphelps9939 You are dreaming even in China they are $AU36,000 (168,600 yuan)
Is this a start of next generation EVs which is going to make VW, etc EVs old hat and depreciate even quicker
我是中国人，我可以很明确的告诉你这几年不单电动车贬值快，燃油车也一样，考虑到澳大利亚国内汽车竞争没有中国那么强，所以几年以后你才能看到😂
This guy is on meth,talking about ev batteries but showing ice and hybrid animations🤔🤔🤔

I'm confused, are these hybrids? if so, who cares.
People are dumb and hopeful. They buy for looks and speed and price, NOT for "safety" - because they "know" they'll never crash.Pysychology 101...
In 1938 the German National Socialist Workers Party must have given Grandpa Evans an all expenses paid round trip to the Berlin Auto Show so he could see the superior design, economy and engineering of ‘The Peoples Car’ and tell everyone about it.
No? 🤔
Still think cell to body manufacture is a huge problem for right to repair.
most of today's BEV have poor maintenance economy. Often their battery can only be replaced in their entirety - just like when a small feature on an iPhone breaks, you can all but replace the entire motherboard. But the Wuling Starlight, a car from Wuling (a joint venture constructed by SAIC, GM, and others, whose products are often marketed abroad under the Chevrolet label), could theoretically be swapped out for a particular set of cells in the battery alone, and may be able to greatly reduce the cost of repair after an accident
Hang on ... what you say about giga casting being safer because it is less likely to deform flys in the face of everying in the past.
Cars got safer BECAUSE they were designed to deform in a collision. The deformation absorbs energy that otherwise is transferred to the passengers. What are you talking about? What you are saying contradicts all of the crash test data from the last 50+ years!
He's a China fan boy, doesn't understand the physics
It's supposed to affect the passenger compartment only - after all, if Geely is going to pass Euro-NCAP, it's surely going to pass the various occupant and pedestrian safety tests properly.
You can't "see" quality..... And BMW and Mercedes are nowhere near the top of the heap
Geely will be sale in Australia?
Like this comment if you would buy an Ethanol Fuel Cell EV
A fossil car with a big battery?
The Chinese viking
They are that good
Yeah they are making much better cars
@@nathanielbyrne1132 maybe the cars work ok but CCP is a terror regime that is a threat to democracy and freedom. Google chinatribunal -
Still having jetlag?
All cars without gigacast are dangerous? you do know they have to deform at a crash?
Why are you showing a hybrid while talking about EV?
NFP BATTERIES
I just realized your channel is a money printing machine. 30 minutes of commentary, sourced from the company website, using ready made original company videos and some AI, slap your electronic Viking logo on and dude is the new federal reserve bank.
LOL, as a Galaxy owner and having followed the Galaxy E5 launch, I have absolutely no idea what this guy is talking about
I hear Ferrari is going electric.
And how long will your Chinese ev last?
