Geely owned Zeekr reveals NEW large electric SUV called EX1E

[@crm114.]

Just what we need, another big SUV. 😢

[@larryc1616]

Extremely popular in America and China. Too big for Europe and 3rd world

[@maxstechnology6363]

What’s wrong with SUVs?

[@Un-BinaryBob]

All these figures from Sam. In Australia over the past 12 months, ICE car sales increased significantly and hybrids outsold pure EVs by 23%. Pure electric sales have plateaued here at about 7%. Just driving around or walking the streets, you can see for yourself that hybrids are everywhere now.

[@mavelous1763]

What’s your point? That ev/ice vehicles (hybrids) are popular now? No kidding. Wait 12 more months to see how the pure EV market looks.

[@abebegirmay3327]

Geely - Zeekr need to stop announcing or revealing and begin mass production. They already revealed many cars but none are producing.

[@byhyew]

You kidding? Geely has the most interesting EV line up at the moment.

[@abebegirmay3327]

@@byhyew Yes and I am saying they need mass production because all their announced cars er epic and many people want them. For example they already announced Zeekr 007 Wagon which is one of my favourite but not started producing yet. It goes the same for other models too.

[@paulrandolph8469]

Someday could you explain why the rims are so big and the tire sidewalls so short? Smaller rims are better for a lot of reasons so I don't understand why big rims are so popular. Isn't it just a fashion statement?

[@andyfreeze4072]

you do realise, its a design brief to make it look good. when it comes into production, it will probably have skinny tall tires to save on costs

[@mitchellchristianson8120]

Zk I bought per market 18.30 definitely helped. I'm still damn but that sure helped down 4000 on $70,000. I'll take it great its called winning I wouldn't short it

[@SanyLiew]

5 or 7 seaters?

[@Raymaster7482]

Don't say "the tarifs in the US and Europe..." because that implys that they are the same which they are not. The ~100% US tarifs are practically an import-stop whereas the EU tarifs will make the cars more expensive but not more. Also tarifs for BYD are the lowest with around 17%. For comparison: the US had around 25% before they raised the import-tax to 100%.

Extreme weather is delaying crop planting and impacting yields around the world, Reuters reported. “Vast swathes” of farmland in Russia, China, India and parts of the US recently experienced “extremely hot conditions and below-normal rainfall”, the outlet said. Low rainfall forecast for July and August in the “breadbasket” Black Sea region could “stunt sunflower and corn yields”, the newswire noted. Meanwhile, the Financial Times said that sales of olive oil “plunged” in parts of the Mediterranean due to “steep price rises”. The FT added: “Droughts and heatwaves exacerbated by climate change have knocked olive oil output in Spain, the world’s largest producer, as well as other major producing countries such as Italy and Greece, creating a global shortfall.”

[@thyristo]

Only idiots buy olive oil now.

It's called "climate cycles". Every 100,000 years for the past million years the earth goes through warming and cooling cycles. I suppose we blame the dinosaurs in the last ice age for not farting enough. Just study the earths historical climate swings.

[@Thinkofwhat]

Zeekr should’ve listed in HKong instead of NYork…..too bloody risky with current geopolitics. Also I reckon BYD Atto size SUV would ideal for most people. Midsize not too small and not too big and practical city driving.

[@andrewwhittaker43]

I don’t get excited about any new ev announcement unless it comes with an announcement about ev charging infrastructure in Rural and Remote Australia and Tesla is the only company in that space

[@Paul-ow9dd]

@ andrewwhittaker43, Not quite. Tesla has only one supercharger station in Tasmania, up in Devonport. Pretty damn lame.

[@PeterJamieson-h2p]

Zeekr please come to Canada!!!

[@davidlee9493]

Unlikely due to the coming tariffs demanded by the U.S.

[@larryc1616]

California first!

[@MrGMawson2438]

Bring it all on cheers mate stellantis will be happy 🙂

[@andyfreeze4072]

sorry to say Sam, but electric cars are now getting BORING. The only innovative cars are Cybertruck, Canoo and Aptera. I just stepped into an AYION and its big inside sure, but the dash is ridiculously long. And whats with the thousand and one plastic add ons? Doesnt that add weight and production time?

[@andreandre1051]

👍👍

[@hgdean]

Someone explain how both Geely and Zeekr are both publicly traded stock when one owns the other

[@hardi.howdy.983]

Just like Volkswagen Group has a few publicly trading companies. Like there is VOLKSWAGEN GROUP Common Stock, and Porsche

[@PropanePete]

This is because China is a Communist country with communist ideology masquerading as a democratic open market economy. Everything and everyone is essentially owned and controlled by the central Government.

[@thyristo]

One question: do Australian homes have cellars? Why not? You could cool your homes passively without the need of any electricity nor any devices like ACs. People waste so much electricity and creating and installing devices despite nature giving them way better very obvious options. 🤦🏼

[@hardi.howdy.983]

Why do you only consider buying car stocks and promote them? There are many Blue Chip stocks worth buying, but you lure people in to risky investments. Better keep your focus on EVs.

[@boblilly4216]

Looks like a Kia. BMW did that tailgate decades ago. Range Rover too. Boring

[@FanBelt]

China, China, China, China, China, China, China, China. For Christs sake Sam, just pack up and move there. Your channel started off fairly unbiased a couple of years ago but you really have gone over the top with all this relentless propaganda.

[@hardi.howdy.983]

Clearly you like large vehicles. You ridicule when it comes to small EVs. A vast majority prefer small cars, but your focus has a narrow or limited outlook.

[@gregwatling4041]

Sam can’t fit in small car, his muscles 💪 are to big 😂

[@larryc1616]

Alphas drive powerful and big cars. Betas drive small fem cars

Sam drives a BMW (ICE).

EVs have failed. Yet this guy still talks them up. Why? Follow the money.

[@NonchalantWalrusParty]

You've either been propagandised by US/EU manufacturers who can't figure out how to innovate or you're a bot. Follow the money

[@allenparsens5279]

@@NonchalantWalrusParty You might want to do a bit of research on the topic. Tesla sales in Germany 40-50% down and the whole EV market dropping as ICE sales increase.
