@@vincecarlo Per Capita? Bullshit. Australia is a relatively tiny country, population wise. What's your source?

[@robertfonovic3551]

​@@N1rOxThe lefties include our Coal exports to arrive at that figure. Australia is responsible for .09 of the world's CO2 emissions. Even if we achieve the ridiculous percentages that our idiot government insists on, it will make FA difference.

[@TB-up4xi]

@@N1rOx Per capita means per person, dividing the total carbon footprint by the small number of people means more per person. When these figures are quoted they always include the coal and gas exported to other countries of Australian origin in the total Australian carbon footprint, regardless of where they are eventually used and turned into CO2, when these are counted yes, Australia is right up there in carbon footprint per person but we are not #1, just barely top 10, we are behind the oil producing countries with an even smaller population like Qatar, Kuwait and UAE etc.

[@TB-up4xi]

@@robertfonovic3551 9% of the world's emissions and 3% of the world's population so 3 times higher per person than the world average but yes even a 100% reduction in our emissions if no one else follows makes no difference - but all the small countries like Australia added together will make a difference.

[@yggdrasil9039]

I doubt the Zeekr 009 will sell much. But zhe 007 and 001 if priced sharply should do very well Volvo ex30 will also do very well. Polestar will continue to do decent numbers in 2024

[@DwainDwight]

Great cars. Neely doing great work. I will be very keen to see what they offer.

[@Joe-lb8qn]

Hopefully this means they will come here to UK as well. Its time Volvo and Polestar and Zeekr stop messing about and have one set of dealers and workshops. My nearby Volvo dealership already sells s/h Polestars.

[@narvuntien]

Whoo! I heard from others that they were recruiting but it wasn't confirmed. I love the X. Will they bring the Radar as well?

Advancements in battery technologies and computer processors will likely be among the most important and under reported technology improvements this year.

​@@gzcwnkbullshit. The manufacturers will not pass on ANY cost reductions. To think otherwise is delusional.

[@BenowaSi]

recently moved to gold coast from china. to be honest, Australia is not the perfect place for EVs. I have a tesla M3P in China and a Model Y here in Australia. Back in China, I can drive from east China to Tibet in my Model 3 P with no problem of charging. There are just more than enough charging station all across the country. In my city (hangzhou if anyone know where it is) alone, there are more than 300 charging stations.But here in Gold Coast, there are only 2 tesla superschage, and 5 or 6 charge fox stations. Believe me, I love Australia, it is a great country in many many ways! But I hope there can be more charging stations. Now I won't even consider driving to Sydeny or up Queensland with an EV. As for zeeker, I know this brand because its headquarter is located 500 meters from my old apartment in China. I have 3 neighbors who have 009. According to them, it has one of the best second row seats, but it is not a fun car to drive. In additon, zeekr is still working on its L2. Maybe we can see a 009 with a lidar late this year. sorry about the grammar.

[@vilester]

i want the zeekr x

[@mrb1113]

the best world would be to continue intense ICE engine tech advancement to lower and lower emissions to discover new ways to remove dangerous fumes. keep everyone happy and possibly discover other co2, carbon capture technology! YES i keep tellin the viking to understand this current world will NEED, MUST HAVE both technologies existing for SO MANY REASONS its almost impossible to list them all!

[@itsprivate4360]

It’s about a year since hearing about the zeekr001 hoping someone will come to their senses and release the model in Australia, partner has ‘23 model Y she loves it so do I but finally Geely is making good. Can’t wait!

[@hi4806]

🎉Good news!

[@jimmy_riddler]

Thoughts on this Vs the xpeng X9?

[@pensionerpete5994]

Our neighbour had been talking about buying an EV for quite a while as he planned to do most of his charging at home off peak just off a normal power point. I suggested getting an electrician to check the house wiring first as our houses were built in 1980. He didn’t do that nor did any research but went ahead anyway with the purchase of an ATTO 3. Big problem straight away, circuit breakers kept popping and they can’t use anything electric (jug, toaster, etc) in the house if the car is on charge. An electrician came and to set the house up was going to cost $12000 plus extra for some kind of a “box” (no idea what it is). I can drive my 15 year old Corolla for 12 years on that… So the ATTO 3 turned out not to be the cost saver he thought. Felt sorry for him and got my neices boyfriend (electrician) to do a quote and he did the job for $9500.

[@ChrisEVcars]

I think you are full it. The Atto 3 uses as much power as a toaster or a hairdryer to charge. $9500 for a power point you have got to be dreaming.

[@davidrink1291]

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Your I5 year old corolla with let me guess it , 400,000 miles and not a hiccup?

[@michaeltan6892]

Love the Zeekr 001 design...but it looks like they've pinched some angles from a Porsche Macan????

[@marcc.490]

It a very nice car but would be way out of my budget

[@bardz0sz]

Great cars they are

[@scottw4208]

Awesome news👍🔥❤️

[@LouDeVere]

Hi Sam. So disappointed that Zeekr are not concentrating on a vehicle as an alternative to the Tesla Model Y. In my opinion, sedans are not really wanted and as for the Zeekr 009 I wouldn't want something as ugly as that. I think the same about the BYD Seal. Beautiful car and highly impressive especially at the price point but again, it's a darned sedan. The most popular EV worldwide is the Tesla MY and the reason is, it's the perfect size and format for the majority of drivers. Come on Zeekr, bring on a mid sized SUV that is affordable to more people and you may have a customer in me.

[@thedarksideofevan4690]

What about Zeekr X? A more compact & fancy one. And, as Model Y's comparable competitor, BYD Seal Lion is about to be released.

[@MaxStArlyn]

Are you allowed to import it yourself?…or will you get hit with crazy import fees?

[@robertfonovic3551]

Zeekr? Sounds like a brand of fishing lures.

[@victorsvoice7978]

The Australian car market is wide open for affordable Chinese electric vehicles. European and Teslas are too expensive.

[@dxelson]

I wonder if MPVs are popular in Australia. Much better use than SUVs

[@JorgeLausell]

Awww!

[@netjens]

Zeekr 001 is very good car I seen Swedish test but be aware it very dangerous as it is right now, it will suddenly pull to right or left and will crash into car next to it and it will use lots of force also. I am sure they will fix it but for now be careful.

[@Ranter-cy5dn]

A hire car driver's dream. But why does a people mover need to do 0-100km in 4.5 secs? In fact when are EV makers going to get over this sort of acceleration "party trick"? With such a vehicle surely efficiency is the priority?

[@jake1110]

What about the software though? What if the Zeekr brand is discontinued? What happens to the car in 10 years? I only ask because many of these Chinese newcomers have no history and there's such a massive boom in the number of Chinese EV companies...someone's going to get screwed over when a bunch of these niche manufacturers fold. You'll be at the mercy of the parent company(for those that have a large parent company) supporting the car and it's software.

700km CLTC, the model Y long range also has a 688km CLTC range that equals 498km EPA, so that 700km equals 507km EPA - from a 140kwh battery - that's 3.6km per kwh 2.2miles per kwh EPA let alone real world. That is terrible efficiency. To put that into perspective the Model Y LR has 9km less EPA with a battery a little over 1/2 the size.

[@slavs94]

yeah true Mr Yamaha ! : ) Australia closed its last car factories a few years ago (Toyota, Holden/GM, Ford). But I also wonder if it might come back with costs and tech of EVs getting so accessible. EV transport is strategically important here, its becoming more obvious. 3% to 7% last 12 months is still slow, but good growth. China has the manufacturing for now but AUS has the innovators and resources.

[@vilester]

replace cheap with excellent value then your statement is correct.

[@richardo2993]

To that point, I used to work in the Australia Auto industry back in the day when Ford/Holdens(GM) were manuf in Australia - it was simply not sustainable to the point where $4 to 5000 of the cost of a Ford/Hold (GM) was subsidized by the Australian Tax Payer for a $20K car. An that is the whole point of open Global economy, each do what they are best at (although it does become a problem if any country is not good/efficient at anything!)
