It only gets the 10 minute fast charge when connected to the companies ultra fast charge network in China. The charging network in other countries can’t deliver the power at that ultrafast rate which gives the 10 minute charge.
The USA could get it but only if the USA voting public demands this and also demands that our (USA) government stop bowing to corporations. Let's have free enterprise.
I rented a Polestar 2 for four months, no probs charging... Except for fleet Bolts using 350kw's. Back to ICE and... got in fight at gas stn! (Didnt move fast enough for some ahole).
This car looks pretty damn nice, way better than the tired old Tesla designs. I especially like the look of the 7X SUV. A couple of things I don’t like so much: the sensor bump above the windscreen is a bit ugly, and the mounting method of the side mirrors looks a bit clunky. I could not care less about FSD, if I buy a nice EV like this I want to drive the damn thing myself!
From WC USA, If this is true then EV’s have a chance in the future to be successful. The cost, low range, danger of fire, and low resale have really dimmed the sale of EV’s, however if this report is for real and the cost is down and electric range is up I can grudgingly see where EV’s have a good future, but we will see!
I live in an apartment in Melbourne and our Body Corporate isn't allowing EVs and in particular in building charging due to fire concerns linked no doubt to our building Insurer not agreeing to cover us for an EV fire. Good to see EVs are getting safer w.r.t. fires but these big insurers need to be pushed to cover EVs as we are probably getting fewer fires now compared to IC cars.

This prejudice will go slowly away as battery tech stabalizes and proves it's not the hazzard it once was. The tech keeps getting better cheaper and safer.
Fascinating tech to be sure. Regarding those charging speeds though, the power output of the charger is always going to be a limiting factor. In North America, it's 250 Kw, with a very few up to 350 Kw. That's going to throttle the Zeeker's 500 Kw capability.
Sam its about time you did an update on charging structure , as i see a lot of banter about upgrading this element . From what ive seen China has this licked with (trickle charge in )super chargers( fast charge out )battery tech.
I really believe it isn't the cars that are the deal breaker for EVs. It is now the availability of charging. Much work needs to be done, surely there can be a business case for people to invest in starting up new sites?
Most people charge at home, That's the point. "Surely there can be a business case" - not a chance.. No one ever turned a profit running a gas station. Not in the history of the motor car. Every gas station runs at a massive loss.

1- Government support that essentially undercuts the costs of other manufacturers. That is, dumping. 2- Leveling the playing field. For decades US automakers could not sell into China without being subjected to hefty tariffs. The only option was to open up manufacturing in China. The US stance is similar; Chinese cars are welcome in the US, they just have to be made here. 3- Cyber security. For years the PRC has tried to embed malware and spyware in consumer products. This is my field of expertise (cyber). All too many Internet switches and cellular communications systems had to be taken out of service due to these “hidden gems”. So the solution is that any vehicle computing must be manufactured and coded in a friendly nation.

Thanks you Sam. But it’s a bit disappointing to see these beautiful advanced vehicles and realize here in the USA the car manufacturers prefer to stymie the market so dealers can bleed the consumer for oil changes and maintenance.
The car is gorgeous looks very premium. Wonder what insurance would cost for this I shocked to learn in the USA a Cyber Truck costs $15,000 a year for insurance.
@@abelincoln3261 It was a American news show CNBC I think talking about the insurance of the cyber truck and one person said they damaged the tire and it’s 1000 dollars to replace one tire
Interesting how they partnered with Nio. Basically proves Nio theory that all EV vehicles should be swappable regardless of a charging speed. Still able to swap out faulty batteries and upgrade deteriorated battories. NIO TRILLION DOLLAR COMPANY BECAUSE OF R AND D ALONE.
It WOULD be cool to hop out and park the car with your phone. Or conversely, pull it out of a tight parking spot before getting in.... And not bad looking cars..
Dear Viking, can our electric grids handle such massive loads to handle such charging speeds? And even more important, in any big numbers? Studies in the US show even a moderate increase in EV numbers, demanding a faster and better charging infrastructure, will cost hundreds of $billions in investment in the electric infrastructure. Money most countries don't have.
Yes - compared to peak consumption times with heating and cooking, EVs draw minimal power and usually overnight. Studies funded by oil companies do not count. I haven't heard of people who own EVs complaining that their electricity bill has gone up 10x, so you can judge how much power is actually needed from that.
@@davidlloyd1526 I don't think you understood the questions. The studies were made by the US electric institutions and NOT oil companies. And anybody not having access to charging at home will pay a much higher price. And offering such high charging speeds means massive investments in the infrastructure.
@@davidlloyd1526 You have absolutely no idea. An electric oven draws between 2-5 kW. That EV draws 600 kW!!! You could power at least 120 ovens compared to what that one freaking EV draws alone.

Don’t get me wrong it is a great car with good value great battery however the charging speeds are only limited to specific chargers in China. Zeeker will be marketing their cars as premium vechiles in Australia so we know compared to China we are getting ripped off in Australia. Value for money is key and what OEM’s are offering for what people need based on their affordability is what matters. At the moment with cost of living people will choose more affordable options instead that covers their needs.
You said that there is no reason to by an ICE vehicle. Well, what about people who live in snow, very cold climates, and those in very hot climates like Arizona in the US. The range and only 10 minutes to a full charge is a game changer I agree, but extreme weather that makes the car unusable or degrades significantly also needs to be resolved more.
@@puzer1I've no issue with EV especially I'm in South east Asia. Currently driving a Hyundai EV so I've no issue with extreme low or high temperature. Too bad that you are living in freezing or hottest hell on earth.. lol
The car's battery/charging system is only about 60% of the equation. What about the charger? Who has the electrical service to charge this car at its full rate? What do the charger and electrical service upgrades cost? $25000?
Here in the US we used to be able to buy the best value tech from anywhere in the world. Things have changed. Example: Huawei equipment "rip and replace" is an official government policy (taxpayer funded). Even if we could buy a Zeekr today, could they all be bricked overnight with a spiteful political decision made during escalating economic trade wars?
I believe it's possible to charge other EVS fast as well it's just not good for the battery, this could be true for this vehicle. Just because it can charge fast doesn't mean it's good for it. I could be wrong??
Tesla FSD is what I need in a car. My FSD has saved me an accident so many times when I fall asleep while driving. Unless this Zeeker has FSD then it's not technical enough for me. I need FSD
Sorry. You are an unsafe driver. FSD may not save you all the time and may cause dangerous situation on other road users. You shouldn't be on the road at all
The Zeekr 007 new battery only charges fast when connected to the company’s ultra fast chargers in China. So the cars won’t charge that fast here in Australia. Still I really that model.
@@TyPhoon-rl4xd does it matter? If your car wants to charge 90% and everyone wants to charge 60% you're all charging at the same time... you think you'll get 90 in 10 mins? Think again.
That does not meet the same standard with EVs that can handle higher speeds.. These battery capabilities also mean it could hold 250kw peak speeds id assume A LOT easier… if anything I wonder if it would be regularly consistent… singly it should shave off 10 mins with a much better curve
If these are really rivals for Tesla, suppose we need to look at some crash results. Don't want to compare these cars just by how long they take to charge.
Let see how this car ages after 1year to see all the tech faults, and why manufacturers are so obsessed with high tech and speed in ev's its not necessary it only pushes the price up.
The burning of fossil fuels is CLOSING SCHOOLS around the world for days, sometimes weeks at a time, and threatening to undermine one of the greatest global gains of recent decades: children’s education. Children today are living through many more abnormally hot days in their lifetimes than their grandparents, according to data released Wednesday by Unicef, the United Nations Children’s Fund. Pakistan closed schools for OVER half its students, that’s 27 million children, for a full week in May, when temperatures were projected to soar to OVER 40 degrees Celsius. Bangladesh shuttered schools OVER half its students during an April heat wave, affecting 34 million children. So too South Sudan in April. The Philippines ordered school closures for three days, when heat reached what the country’s meteorological department called “danger” levels. In the United States, heat days prompted school closures or early dismissal in districts from Massachusetts to Colorado during the last school year. They represent a significant share of total school days, and one recent estimate suggests that the numbers are INCREASING QUICKLE, from about four days a year a few years ago to OVER double that number now, with MANY MORE expected BEFORE midcentury. Heat waves, MADE MUCH WORSE by the accumulation of MAN-MADE planet-heating gases in the atmosphere, are making it harder to learn. Even if schools are open, extremely high temperatures, especially over several hours, AFFECT LEARNING OUTCOMES, INCLUDING TEST SCORES, research shows.
So the charge times doesn't make any difference to me charging at home. The range and performance is impressive. My question is. Is the software as good as telsa ? like self driving etc: and are they going to be around in 5 years ? just about all EV makers are loosing money like it's going out of fashion fast even then the ICE makers.
I would wait on buying any new EV atm, looking at the speed that tesla's FSD is advancing, once this is fully released any car without it will quickly become a dinosaur, LIDAR is the kodak camera of EV's
Unfortunately for most countries except for China the infrastructure required to support these fast charging rates is rare and maybe nonexistent depending on country. Blame your government for the lack of infrastructure to support such EVs.
"The price is still the same" When automakers consistently loose money the selling price is based on how much money the company thinks it can afford to loose. Not on what it cost to make the car. Mabe a good car but not such a good company at this time. If they lost money when they sold you the car what kind of support do you expect from the company? How long will that model be in production. WHat does that mean for the parts supply. Questions we should ask about all cars.
FSD on this car is way more believable compared to a Tesla. Tesla removed USS and radar, and it does not even have stereo vision. This car has LIDAR. Just one year is a bit ambitious though.
i'm always for improvements in EV tech and am definitely excited as to how this will further accelerate competition in EVs and how Tesla will respond. my #1 issue with state of the art vehicles like these though is the sustainability. When Lucid first came out, it made Tesla vehicles look downright ancient in comparison. but the reality now is that Lucid vehicles are PLAGUED with never ending technical issues. while tesla vehicles have their own share of problems, they are way more reliable than any other EV in the market. In China, Tesla is one of the most popular in terms of reliability. i have no doubt that Zeekr 007 has superior tech inside, but i wouldn't buy it, at least this time. maybe in about a year after they fix all the kinks that it will definitely have.
Hi, I m really curious, why need to compare with Tesla? Tesla Technology is way backdated. They are way behind all the new technology with the current ev trend. They focus to supercharger,others brand already in phase of implantation new tech of batteries, supercharging etc..etc. stop compared with Tesla. 😊😊😊😂

The Zeekr 007 new battery only charges fast when connected to the company’s ultra fast chargers in China. So the cars won’t charge that fast here in Australia. Still I really that model.
VinFast from Vietnam making big time noise no idea why.
Sounds better than the Tesla
Hi Sam do we have any fast charging infrastructure in Australia to take advantage to recharge at the speed of the new battery technology?
Chicken is here, eggs will come soon
No.
Highland? 😀 where did this come from, as far as I know, no one at Tesla named it
So there's 5 zeekers charging at the same time with my zeeker... do i still get 10 mins to full charge?
Misleading at best
Who said that they will all need a full charge at the same time at the maximum rate.
@@TyPhoon-rl4xd does it matter? If your car wants to charge 90% and everyone wants to charge 60% you're all charging at the same time... you think you'll get 90 in 10 mins? Think again.
Zeekre 001 havent you driven one ? China haters will say otherwise.. I want the Zeekre 001 FR
Faster than the BYD Sea Lion 07?
Will still take 30 min to charge where I live, we only have 12 250kw chargers in a city of over 2 million!
That does not meet the same standard with EVs that can handle higher speeds.. These battery capabilities also mean it could hold 250kw peak speeds id assume A LOT easier… if anything I wonder if it would be regularly consistent… singly it should shave off 10 mins with a much better curve
500 km of range in only 10 minutes charging? No more complain!
If I put Tesla emblems on it can I sneak it into the states?
If these are really rivals for Tesla, suppose we need to look at some crash results. Don't want to compare these cars just by how long they take to charge.
They pass all crash tests and even beat some high priced Western vehicles.
Let see how this car ages after 1year to see all the tech faults, and why manufacturers are so obsessed with high tech and speed in ev's its not necessary it only pushes the price up.
The burning of fossil fuels is CLOSING SCHOOLS around the world for days, sometimes weeks at a time, and threatening to undermine one of the greatest global gains of recent decades: children’s education. Children today are living through many more abnormally hot days in their lifetimes than their grandparents, according to data released Wednesday by Unicef, the United Nations Children’s Fund. Pakistan closed schools for OVER half its students, that’s 27 million children, for a full week in May, when temperatures were projected to soar to OVER 40 degrees Celsius. Bangladesh shuttered schools OVER half its students during an April heat wave, affecting 34 million children. So too South Sudan in April. The Philippines ordered school closures for three days, when heat reached what the country’s meteorological department called “danger” levels.
In the United States, heat days prompted school closures or early dismissal in districts from Massachusetts to Colorado during the last school year. They represent a significant share of total school days, and one recent estimate suggests that the numbers are INCREASING QUICKLE, from about four days a year a few years ago to OVER double that number now, with MANY MORE expected BEFORE midcentury.
Heat waves, MADE MUCH WORSE by the accumulation of MAN-MADE planet-heating gases in the atmosphere, are making it harder to learn. Even if schools are open, extremely high temperatures, especially over several hours, AFFECT LEARNING OUTCOMES, INCLUDING TEST SCORES, research shows.
I would prefer a version without all that useless AI crap.
Well then just don't use the AI "crap" and just drive the car.
They didn't just reduce their warranty to like 12 months did they ?....pushing things to the limit will wear quicker...
So the charge times doesn't make any difference to me charging at home. The range and performance is impressive. My question is. Is the software as good as telsa ? like self driving etc: and are they going to be around in 5 years ? just about all EV makers are loosing money like it's going out of fashion fast even then the ICE makers.
I would wait on buying any new EV atm, looking at the speed that tesla's FSD is advancing, once this is fully released any car without it will quickly become a dinosaur, LIDAR is the kodak camera of EV's
nyt did an article on chinas battery technology.. they have thousands of engineering grads every year just on battery tech
I hate to bring this up but it would be totally cool if you apologised for Australias break dance performance. What do you think?
😂
How is the electrical infrastructure going to support the amount of power needed to charge these batteries in 10 minutes?
Unfortunately for most countries except for China the infrastructure required to support these fast charging rates is rare and maybe nonexistent depending on country. Blame your government for the lack of infrastructure to support such EVs.
"The price is still the same" When automakers consistently loose money the selling price is based on how much money the company thinks it can afford to loose. Not on what it cost to make the car. Mabe a good car but not such a good company at this time. If they lost money when they sold you the car what kind of support do you expect from the company? How long will that model be in production. WHat does that mean for the parts supply. Questions we should ask about all cars.
*lose
*Losing
@@MrSteeDoo Cut me a little slack. I am sure you got the meaning.
FSD on this car is way more believable compared to a Tesla. Tesla removed USS and radar, and it does not even have stereo vision. This car has LIDAR. Just one year is a bit ambitious though.
makes choosing an EV *EVEN* harder. Old Tesla 2019 model 3 33K, Zeekr 007 38k & almost has FSD. What do you choose??
The Zeekr as you get a lot more for your money.
Just saw one on streets of Dnipro Ukraine. I’m not fan of design in any case we need much more EVs
i'm always for improvements in EV tech and am definitely excited as to how this will further accelerate competition in EVs and how Tesla will respond. my #1 issue with state of the art vehicles like these though is the sustainability. When Lucid first came out, it made Tesla vehicles look downright ancient in comparison. but the reality now is that Lucid vehicles are PLAGUED with never ending technical issues. while tesla vehicles have their own share of problems, they are way more reliable than any other EV in the market. In China, Tesla is one of the most popular in terms of reliability. i have no doubt that Zeekr 007 has superior tech inside, but i wouldn't buy it, at least this time. maybe in about a year after they fix all the kinks that it will definitely have.
Hi, I m really curious, why need to compare with Tesla? Tesla Technology is way backdated. They are way behind all the new technology with the current ev trend. They focus to supercharger,others brand already in phase of implantation new tech of batteries, supercharging etc..etc. stop compared with Tesla. 😊😊😊😂
Release price rumoured to be $76,000nzd so yet again the dealer screw a potential game changer with greed
Let’s hope they are listed on temu
Wrong!
Majority of these new vehicles nave to be rebuilt as the frontal collision systems fail western standards. This is why they are more expensive, they are Not the same vehicles being sold in China.
@@fabmanly1070 do you have some information on this? I now have 2 Chinese built vehicles and from what I can make out they are 100% the same as is sold in China.
@@ThePhilcam He's (@fabmanly107) put pulling that out of his butt.
10:05 "It comes with two Nvidia..."
Why China won't invade Taiwan. Anyhoo, I'll take one with...
Chillin' battery! 😎
