The ZEEKR 009 electric MPV, part of Geely’s innovative EV lineup, now features CATL’s cutting-edge Qilin battery technology, enabling it to recharge from 10% to 80% in just under 11 minutes. This updated model is set to launch in Hong Kong this Friday.
While 350 kW chargers are now fairly common in China, East Asia, Europe, and North America, allowing the ZEEKR 009 to recharge from 10% to 80% in approximately 16-17 minutes under optimal conditions, more powerful 450 kW andcan further reduce this time to 13 and 11 minutes, respectively. However, these higher-power chargers are still relatively rare.
The refreshed 2024 ZEEKR 009 will launch in Hong Kong on Friday the 19th of July, and will initially be offered in a high-end variant with a 140 kWh battery. This is the variant which allows for the 11-minute fast charging, noted above, and offers a range of 822 km on the CLTC cycle. The CLTC cycle is tuned for the modest speed urban driving pattern most common in China, whereas its WLTP rating might be on the order of 700 km .
EV battery technology is still developing very fast. For most people with daily or weekly access to a convenient plug, the existing DC recharge speeds of typically 25 to 35 minutes are already a comfortable fit. These charging capabilities are already well suited to taking a much needed break after two or three hours of driving on a long journey — one of the few times DC charging is needed.
