Geely has formally launched the EX2 in Indonesia, the third market to obtain the automotive after Malaysia (the place it is called the Proton eMas 5) and Thailand. The distinction right here is that the entry-level EV is CKD domestically assembled on the firm’s plant in Bekasi, forward of even our nationwide carmaker.

The EX2’s battery can also be domestically assembled by Chinese language battery maker Gotion, which is partly owned by Volkswagen, with the cells themselves made in China. Our eMas 5’s batteries are as a substitute totally constructed and assembled in China by CATL.

That is although in contrast to in Malaysia, the place the Prime and Premium obtain a 30.12 kWh and 40.16 kWh LFP batteries respectively, the Indonesian EX2 will get the larger 40.8 kWh battery as customary. The nominally bigger capability of the Gotion pack presents the identical claimed NEDC vary because the Premium at 395 km, so anticipate the WLTP-rated vary to even be an identical at 325 km.

Additionally frequent between the Professional and Max variants is the rear motor, which produces 116 PS (85 kW) and 150 Nm of torque (no 79 PS/130 Nm possibility), so each will get from zero to 100 km/h in the identical 11.5 seconds. Past that, the specs are similar to the eMas 5, except standard-fit LED headlights (solely on the eMas 5 Premium right here) and a powered driver’s seat on the Max.
