Zeekr maintains that its upgraded EV batteries support 5.5C ultra-fast charging that allows vehicles to charge from 10 to 80% in just 10.5 minutes — removing its customers’ range anxiety.
The new charging speed record is achieved by Zeekr’s new 007 sedan model carrying the new lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries and connected with Zeekr V3 ultra-fast charging piles.
Thanks to the optimized materials and upgraded technology, the speed is higher than what’s achieved by existing nickel-cobalt-manganese batteries, representing the new achievement by Zeekr’s in-house e-powertrain R&D team.
Thanks to the enhanced battery management system (BMS), the vehicle’s charging experience remains stable and fast even in harsh environmental conditions. At temperatures as low as -10 degree Celsius, the vehicles charge from 10% SOC to 80% SOC within just 30 minutes, assuring users of swift and reliable charging performance.
Zeekr has opened over 500 ultra-fast charging stations in China with over 2,700 charging piles, all of which can support 800-V charging. The company plans to expand the network to 1,000 ultra-fast charging stations in 2024 and will be operating over 10,000 ultra-fast charging piles in 2026.
