Plug-in Hybrid Power Meets Practical Range
The Starray EM-i is powered by Geely’s new E-Motive Intelligence (EM-i) hybrid system, which blends electric driving capability with the flexibility of a petrol engine.

- An 18.4kWh LFP battery delivers up to 83km (WLTP) of pure EV range.
- Combined driving range extends to 943km (WLTP).
- Charging is possible via 6.6kW AC or 30kW DC, with a 30–80% top-up possible in 20 minutes.
- Three selectable drive modes – Pure, Hybrid, and Power – allow drivers to prioritise efficiency or performance.
Geely also includes Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability with a 6kW output, allowing owners to power devices directly from the vehicle.
