75 kWh battery, charges 80% in 5 min. That is a charging rate of 12 x 60 kW = 720 kW So this is only possible with megawatt chargers like the ones for the Tesla Semi truck.

Yep. I think there is much to de-bunk and un-twine here. The press releases that I came across claimed 500km of range in 15 minutes. Also ZEEKR operates roughly 400 "ultra-fast" chargers with 360 kW peak. They claim to expand that amount of stations, not the outputs of those. So we are looking at 360 kW charging. At 688 km of range for the 007, 500 km probably reflects the 10% to 80% optimal charging window.

This is because it is measured according to the Chinese CLTC standard which is even more whimsical than the western WLTP standard. 690 km CLTC is more like 600 km WLTP. With a 75 kWh battery, the efficiency is then 8 km/kWh (or 12.5 km per 100 km) which is a good efficiency perfectly achievable with today's EV technology. However, pay attention that the 75 kWh announced may be the raw battery capacity and not the real useful net capacity, so the real efficiency may be in fact lower.

Honestly how can you compare vaporware that hopes to arrive in 2 years with a highly successful, functioning model like the Tesla 3? The best features of the 3 (IMO) are the quality and robustness of design and the longevity (likely half a million miles (again, IMO). With respect, you haven’t got a clue about anything from how the motors are built to whether the battery thermal management is acceptable. I can see you covering this prospective car with enthusiasm and anticipation, but not claiming it “blows away” anything let alone a Tesla. Again, I’ve been following you for a long time now and mean no disrespect, but for all you know, at this point in time, maybe it just blows up.

For that money it had damn better be much better than my Model 3 performance which had cost me 46.310€ (after a 4.500 government subsidy which this car WON'T get because it's over the price limit to qualify for subsidies).

Zeekr 007 is based on Geely's "Sustainable Experience Architecture" (SEA) platform. Unders this platform, cars shares common technologies such as battery, motors and the corresponding controlling systems. Examples of other cars under the SEA platform are Smart #1/#3, Polestar 4, Volvo EX30 and etc. Zeekr 007 uses Nvidia Orin-X as the AI chip for autonomous driving functions and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 for smart cockpit. It has LiDAR (certain models) which neither Tesla nor BYD is not using (for most of it's cars). At the backend, Geely employed some developers from Huawei to develop the autonomous driving for Zeekr. Now Zeekr has much better autonomous driving function than BYD. For example, it has automatic parking in confined garages. Apart, driving control of Geely/Lynk & Co is "traditionally" much better than BYD.

They are still buying batteries. These companies are able to make outrageous claims because there is no accountability. So called reporters cheer them on. Charging a 70kw battery to 100% in 15 minutes would require a 350kw charger, which is still non-existent in Chi na. We all know charging speeds come down once It hits 80%, but Geely batteries don't.

You forgot to mention that Zeekr is basically the electric version of Lynk&Co that you start to see all over Europe. Extremely well built! If they take the 007 and add it to the subscription model used by Lynk&Co in Europe, it will be a banger!!! So excited!

Lynk&Co is a cross-over, Zeekr 007 is a sedan... and is much larger than Lynk&Co (which is in Nissan Qashqay class). I do not know from where comes this comparison...

You are probably right , Zeekr can leverage LynkCo network to sell their cars in Euro . But Geely has very diversed selling strategy which is a waste of resource .😢

@@ren2704 Is not clear to me what you really want to say, I suppose you are hailing the quality of the cars. Yes, but I cannot suppose that suddenly the Chinese know how to make cars and the rest of the world forgets. Sorry, but in Europe are a lot of automakers with a lot of very good cars. So... is about competition and personal choices, but no way to assume that suddenly all the best are coming just from China, no matter the claims. If you read the comments, you will understand the problems. I have no doubt that Zeekr is giving its best, as is Geely's own pushed brand, but there are Polestars and Volvo from the same GEELY, in the same area, and really you should see an EX30 before getting too excited. Volvo said it will be 35000 euros... The type of batteries is for each EV owner a process of adaptation with the car, and this is the same for all EVs. There are a lot of dog lovers, but each dog has different needs and temperament/personality, so owners adapt to them, not the opposite...

A sedan is a people mover not an equipment mover. And it does it more efficiently than larger vehicles. But people would rather have the ability to also move equipment.

Zeekr uses West, US Europe parts technology likely also some designers are also from West, Europe or Developed world. Zeekr parent China company purposefully have this brand mainly to use foreign parts ie some critical area such as CPU/EPU (US made), brakes etc. Yes there's China as well like battery Nonetheless it is intentional for this brand Zeekr 001 shows this approach clearly. Perhaps that is also why there's a model with code 007 ! The codd name of a secret society agent (of occult) that serve the Virgin Queen which made UK the British naval empire...

Geely is more difficult to understand than other EV players because of its multiple brands and owned and partly owned companies. But I think that has also put it a bit under the radar. My impression is it is one of the big 3: Tesla, BYD, and Geely, and probably not in that order. LIke BYD, Geely is innovating like mad - spinning out new models and vertically integrating in a way Tesla is not. Ford and maybe GE could catch up - but so far appear to be falling further behind. The wild card for all EVs is the battery tech - cheaper and faster charging batteries are the key, the day seems very close when gasoline power will be obsolete. If, for example, Lyten comes through with its sulfur batteries, Stellantis could be a big winner. Ditto VW will get a big bump if it's bet on Quantumscape pays off. This reminds me of railroads shifting from steam to diesel -- steam never stopped innovating, but at the inflection point diesel became clearly the only way to go, and after that: game over.

Try to search for other reviews. There are non-chinise reviewers who live in China, and touch the cars live. Their impression of this car is great too. They can compare with tesla and all the gest chinise EVs. It has Automatic doors , automatic front and back seats regulation, 21 speaker , good interior materials... The only drawback is lower noise insulation then in tesla 3 highland.

Looks a great car, and Chinese EV’s are getting better and better. Charging sounds great, but there’s always something new, something better, something faster, something that looks better, is smarter, better in every way. Sadly most of us don’t have an ability to change cars every year, I’m happy with the car I have, a Tesla Model 3 LR, August 2023 Shanghai built. When Volvo, Zeekr and BYD set up charging facilities in Oz that compete favourably with Tesla FastChargers that will be a real advance. But they can’t match Tesla charging yet.

Oh, it's absolutely true, my friend! As fate would have it, one of the esteemed car brands is diligently subjecting this battery to rigorous safety testing even before the vehicle can grace the market. Quite a commendable feat, I must say! Ah, behold the latest update! This news is no nonsense, my dear interlocutor. It is, in fact, happening as we speak! And what's more, it brings forth delightful tidings for all the consumers out there. Isn't that grand? Now, let me enlighten you with this interesting piece of information. In the vast land of China, the cost to renew a car battery is a mere 5000 USD, inclusive of labor. Astonishing, isn't it? Such a steal! Ah, but let me regale you with a rather amusing anecdote. In the realm of Korean cars, the cost of replacing the battery often surpasses the actual value of the vehicle itself. Quite the predicament, wouldn't you agree?

The two EV cars which i think will kill it in china in 24 will be zeekr 007 and xpeng X9. The question will be can they ramp up the production to match the level of demand for those 2 models.. It will be game over for many MPVs and sedans competing against those models...Huawei cars will compete on the higher segment (against Li auto and others)...but will still sell tonnes of cars evident from recent order figures...i think there is some chance the final sales figures for 24 for li auto, tesla and BYD will be lower than their 23 results due to the fierce competition...unless international markets replaces some local sales losses and the replacment of ICE cars happen at a faster anticipated rates...
