, which will underpin a whole range of new electric models. To give us more details about the new platform, the Chinese conglomerate arranged a roundtable session for Malaysian media with SEA’s chief engineer Kent Bovellan, a Swede who previously worked at Volvo.
There is a large bandwidth of vehicles being supported here – the wheelbase of SEA2 models currently being developed, for example, range from 2,650 mm to 2,900 mm. Cars being built on the SEA1 will be even larger, with the Zeekr 001 having a wheelbase of 3,005 mm. Bovellan has confirmed, however, that Geely will not be producing small city EVs that are becoming popular in China – not even with the SEA-E platform, on which the smallest model currently being developed has a 2,550 mm wheelbase.
The SEA platform is also capable of DC high-speed charging, with the SEA1 allowing up to 400 volts to charge the battery from 10 to 80% in around 30 minutes. It can be also be upgraded to an 800-volt system in the future for an even faster charge time of around 20 minutes.
