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.

rumor says there's one in the works

Sounds too good to be true. I'm very skeptical.

The claimed range of 690 km is based on the CLTC-Cycle, which doesn't reflect real-world conditions. Achieving such an impressive range with a 75 kWh battery seems utopic given the current battery technology because Geely would have to be ahead of all the other companies in battery technology in order to actually achieve that. It's probable that the actual real-world range is similar to its competitors, so basically depending on driving speed and temperature around 300-450 km. Also, have these superfast charging speed claims been tested in real-world ?

Happy New Year! Wow the specs are great. Unbelievable value. Love it

Something’s not right here. 75 KWH and 690 KLM is 9.2 KLM/KWH. That is massively more efficient than anything else in existence. I get around 7.6 in my 2021 SR+ - which is smaller and I am assuming much lighter. The basic physics tells me these is more than a little exaggeration here. IF not - I’ll get one.

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.

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.

HAPPY 2024 to you and your family. Much health and happiness to all.

Sam, some quick fact checking confirms this car can go 541 miles on a 100 Kw pack compared to the 75 Kw @ 341 miles model 3. From my perspective, unless they have broken through some efficiency barrier with either the Motors or the air there is simply no way that car can go that range. A kilowatt is a kilowatt, there are no supercharged kilowatts. It is a specific unit of measure. Let's see if they can manufacture it.

There is even more, four link front suspention, multilink rear suspension, a huge megacasting part in the rear.

In the fourth quarter, BYD sold 526,409 electric cars after sales growth of as much as 70 per cent in December. BYD, which has Warren Buffett's investment company Berkshire Hathaway as one of its largest owners, has about 35 percent of the Chinese electric car market. BYD has done this faster than many thought possible. Now the rest of the industry has to accelerate to keep up.

Everything is cheaper to make in China that's why.

Claims of a car that is not yet produced is basically a stock pump . Until the car reaches production limits and sone realworld driving and charging its just a dream for now Not sure where the chinesse chargibg network stands but fineing charging at this level is probably limited .

The range will be about 20% less based on EPA test cycle. China has a different mile measuring system that's very optimistic vs EPA. IE. The Model 3 is measured at almost 100 miles more range in China vs US/Europe. Still pretty good range even if you chop off the 20% but not mind blowing.

And a kw/h will be £1 before the end of 2024 in the UK. Might last 6 years which isn't too bad for anything but the planet.

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.

They'll double the price when they come to the UK.

Amazing Ev... ❤

Hey Sam, Zeeker is owned by Geely who just recently partnered up with NIO on battery swapping technology 4.0!!

hello Sam, Now that we are in the 2024 year, do you think I would get the refreshed model 3 or the current Model 3 if I place my order today (i am in the US)? thanks Alot

So what type of charge port does it use? Gb/t or CCS2 ?? Zeekr 001 is sold with CCS2 charge port in my country. So is Zeekr X, but for 007 it's stated that only comes with GB/T. Is this true?

The smiley is a refreshing change from the end-of-the-world-is-nigh cybertruck design.

Sounds to good to be true.

$29k. Got Daang. As long as the reliability is there, it’s worth consideration

Sounds cool, but I am not buying anything without FSD

Looks like game over for Ford and GM. They won't have a sub $30K priced EV with these specs for at least 3-5 years.

If it seems too good to be true, it is. 😮 I’ll believe it when I see it tested by a neutral party.

I will believe this car when I see it on the UK roads. For me it's too complicated! What will the spares back up be, especially if you crash it.

Pretty hard push for car that's never been delivered. posted first deliveries are today. we'll see....

I don't know why people are so obsessed with charging times. After a 3-4 hours drive I need to stretch out and get something to drink and possibly eat. I rather take a good break than roast my car's battery pack. These kilowatts are absolutely insane. I often had to move my car to regular parking slot in order to finish my meal and avoid penalties from the SuC...

If they ever bring it to the US, it will cost 50k+

29000X1.25 (import tax)=37500.

Loving the styling on these Chinese EV cars Tesla was good when it came out 10 years ago but getting stale. The Vinfast cars are attractive but they just don’t do it for me .

Nah. There´s something fishy about this. I believe it when i see it. Also. How is the software? And does it have FSD?

I was wondering that. I’m thinking that “taxi light” thing on the roof might be a sort of LiDAR !

Chinese EVs do much better in autonomous driving than FSD of Tesla nowadays , as owner of NIO ES6, Zeekr 001 and Model Y

Why am I comparing this to Nikola, with the same charm as Trevor Milton? Waiting for independent KZread reviews once deliveries start outside of China. My skepticism comes from the old saying “If it seems too good to be true, it probably isn’t “.

Mormon Trevor Fraud Meltdown Milton's hydrogen-SCAM-compagy (Nikola Motor) have No costumers = bankrupt Q1 2024 😂

What's the range with full lights and air conditioner turned on?

Insane. Almost sounds too good to be true. Waiting for some reviews on this.

this video makes the common mistake of comparing something that exists to something that doesn't exist. In that the thing that doesn't exist, tends to have a huge advantage..

Thanks

I believe in Canada you need SUV to clear snow and not damage battery.

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.

I’ll believe it when I see it

Gonna be honest. Those prices remain a wet dream for the US & European markets. Based on the Zeekr1 and X and the BYD Han, which have been released in Europe, and all of which all had a hefty price hike of about 75% compared to the Chinese market, it will cost over 65.000€ in the EU, and will carry a similar price tag in the US. 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).
