Zeekr 001 with 140kWh and 1000 km range!

We got our new Zeekr 001 with 140kWh and 1000 km range delivered earlier this month. Time to have a closer look, what this new extra large battery brings. We are going on a little trip and also have a look at fast charging and charging curve after that.

[@milesiras90]

Thank you for your detailed Video! Keep going these kind of charging tests and analysis. I hope there is more to come from zeekr 001. Really exciting EV! Can't wait to test it here in Europe.

Thank you for choosing and comparing two products from the same category. It's amazing that Zikar, born only two years ago, manages to compete respectably against Porsche. In my country we cannot buy a Porsche, we are the number one country in taxes. I really hope Zikr will be cheaper. As a Porsche enthusiast, your right to information will make the road to Zikker easier. Thanks again

Thats pretty amazing, Just amazing what these chinese manufacturers can do. Question is why Tesla doesn't do it already? Why many other EVs from germany doesnt do it?

[@cyberslim7955]

Because they all purchase batteries, and the Chinese brands have better access to CATL, which in turn has over 50% world market share with extremely strong research. Hard to beat... The interesting thing is, that T junk is now in the same boat as all other brands, besides BYD. They beg all the suppliers, including BYD for batteries. The difference, their cars are of poor quality and lack lots of features. T junk in my opinion has no future.

[@Random.Adventures.]

Personally charging a car for 40 minutes is still quite along time i do prefer the NIO swap station where i can have a swap in less then 5 mins and I like the look of NIO's

[@cyberslim7955]

No! I watched the whole NIO battery swapping thing in person. There is no 5 min, that's marketing blah blah. I observed close to 15 min. The problem is, that in that time, like on a stinking gas station, you have to be present. When I stick my EV in to charge, I lock and walk away to get a bio break. Much more convenient and relaxed. The new batteries like the one in my Zeekr will kill swapping tech. This is totally a dead end! Just came back with my EQA 250+ from a 1200 km round trip. Even with this EV, I only needed one charging stop and that was just enough time to eat something and resupply. Please watch the video to the end. If you catch the high charging rate between 25 and 70%, you only need 22min on a charging station and you can drive 1000 km when you leave with a full battery.

[@Random.Adventures.]

@@cyberslim7955 not sure where you are getting your info about the swap information but it's false.Less then 5 mins plenty of youtube vids on it no need to lie to make that brand seem better. Enjoy your ride hopefully no issues on your car

[@cyberslim7955]

@@Random.Adventures. I don't get my information from anywhere, I watched it live myself on a parking lot nearby. If station is open, in operation, has staff ready for your car, has the doors open, has ready loaded batteries, etc, then maybe less than 10 min. But that's very unlikely. The worst: These station will most likely never be along highways, where you actually need fast recharging, at least I have NEVER EVER seen one. Have you? If I see marking BS, I call it out. On top of that, the battery rental is very expensive over the lifetime of the car and the purchase option makes the car overpriced compare to Zeekr and other brands. The quality is at best VW level, Zeekr is like Volvo, close to BMW. In fact, my Zeekr 001 exceeds in terms of quality and material selection my new EQA 250+
