Zeekr 007: This electric car is the fastest charging in the world?

With a length of 4.87 meters and a sporty elegance that rivals the Model 3, the Zeekr 007 is not only aesthetically appealing. Its real value lies under the hood – a battery that promises ultra-fast charging. With the help of Zeekr V3 charging stations operating on 800V architecture, the new battery can reach a charging speed of 5.5C. In practice, this means that the entire 75 kWh capacity can be filled in about 10.5 minutes – almost as fast as filling a car tank with petrol.

This is not only speed, but also innovation in technology. The second generation Golden Battery batteries developed and manufactured by Zeekr are a testament to the advancement of the industry. While details on the cell manufacturer and exact specifications are limited, expectations are high, especially given Zeekr's track record in the electric vehicle world.

Improvements that deliver competitive advantage

Zeekr 007 is not only a winner in the field of charging. Its on-road performance has also been improved. For the rear-wheel-drive models, the acceleration time is reduced from 5.4 to 5.0 seconds, while the time for the regular all-wheel-drive model is reduced from 3.5 to 3.4 seconds. In the version with the most powerful four-wheel drive, it remains the same at 2.84 seconds. According to CarNewsChina, all four-wheel drive versions have 645 hp, while the rear-wheel drive version offers 421 hp.

The visual changes are subtle but effective – new wheels and fresh color options are part of the fresh look that keeps the Zeekr 007 competitive in the luxury electric sedan segment.

What does this mean for the future?

With its innovations, Zeekr is emerging as one of the leading players in the electric vehicle industry. With the already presented model Zeekr 001, which reaches a charging capacity of 546 kW, and now with the Zeekr 007, which promises to charge in just 10.5 minutes, it is clear that the company is setting new standards. With a battery capacity of 75 kWh and a charging speed of 5 kWh/min, the Zeekr surpasses even the most prestigious rivals, such as the Porsche Taycan, which reaches 3.8 kWh/min.

The future of electric vehicles looks bright, especially if companies like Zeekr continue their path of innovation and breakthroughs. The European market, which will receive these vehicles for the first time in 2024, will certainly be watching these developments closely, as we can expect even more technological innovations and improvements.
