These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Geely EX5 and Jeep Compass like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 198 miles for the Geely EX5 and 193 miles for the Jeep Compass - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 20 minutes in the Geely EX5 and 35 in the Jeep Compass, so the Geely EX5 loses less time at each stop.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Geely EX5 or the Jeep Compass?

Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Geely EX5 or the Jeep Compass?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Geely EX5 and 84% for the Jeep Compass. That gives the Geely EX5 a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Geely EX5's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Jeep Compass's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use.
