That 100kwh battery is bigger than the battery in the model Y. Would give that car over 400 miles of range and quick charging speed. Wow.. Tesla your getting your tech arse kicked. 10 minutes reduces charging congestion. LFP no rare earth better for everyone. Hats off to you Zeeker and Geely.
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.
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).
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.
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!
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. However, I still hear that it's not the frequency but the intensity or runaway fire aspect of EVs.
@@newguy954gas cars don’t spontaneously combust when off, it’s down to the fuel line breaking and spraying fuel on a hot engine while running. An EV can spontaneously combust even while sitting in a driveway. Thermal runaway is what EV owners need to keep in mind, it only takes one cell to be compromised and away we go. Look at the EV fire in South Korea last week. 140 cars destroyed and 27 people injured because of an EV spontaneously burning down. And it wasn’t even on the charger.
@@kevinW826 Gas cars usually catch fire when switched off. Usually it's wiring fault. Sometimes the gas pipes leak. Ask your local Fire department how often they go to a car fire. Probably twice a week.
@@davidlloyd1526 at least they don’t need special equipment to put out a gas fire. They also don’t need to treat the contaminated water after a gas fire and don’t need to worry about the fire reigniting months later like an EV, doesn’t cause the structural damage an Ev fire does, the air is not as toxic as an EV fire is. As I said just look at the South Korean fire last week, the cargo ship that burned out a few years ago with all of those lambos, Ferraris, Porsches, etc. it was an EV that caused the fire and resulted in a crew members death. There are two other EV fires this week, one of them in Tijuana Mexico.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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
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 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?
$20K USD in China probably means $40K USD when they export it....until this changes most China imports will struggle, as used prices are crashing quicker than the 007 can charge
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.
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.
Wonder how this car perform in the winter ? My Tesla is not giving me the range I needed when I go ski at -20C. I live in Calgary, Canada. Charge station and charge time are issues in the mountains roads
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.
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.
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'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.
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.
Come on Sam, a 75kwh battery charging at 600kw?. The 350kw charger roll out is really slow here in Australia and cost more per kwh then the 150 or 250 kw charging stations. So how much is the 600kw charge going to cost. So all these facts makes no difference to home charging so not sure it's a great benefit.
@TyPhoon-rl4xd tools and equipment used to last decades, it wasn't uncommon to use 3 generation old stuff. If people want to own garbage and never own homes it's fine with me too, just obviously unwise.
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.
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
Sam you keep carrying on about 600kw charging speeds but WTFC when in this country our fastest charger are 350kw so no real world advantage for Aus at all
It's only when your local grid can support it. Don't blame on the latest EVs that can utilise the fastest charging. Anyway most of the time, you will be charging at home. You don't do super fast charging all the time
I'm going to wait another 6 months until I can charge in 5 minutes instead of 10. Thats how it works right? Oh and how many 500kw chargers are there in the UK ... outside London. It will take more than a 25 years to upgrade the electrical infrastructure to cope with the increased electricity demand, the government should have started it 20 years ago but they didnt. The reason we are not driving EV's right now is the lack of planning by successive governments.
What about the Future onvo , with battery swap which will be the future as you can recycle easily the battery technology . Oh , I forgot you hate Nio …
NIO is backed by the "Hefei Investment agreement" in Hefei city. In 2020 it purchased 24% of NIO and loaned it another $1.6 billion USD. As part of the deal, NIO agreed to: Inject its core businesses and assets in China into a new entity called NIO China. Invest RMB4.26 billion in cash into NIO China. The government of Hefei also helped NIO obtain loans from six local banks to develop its supply chain. NIO reported a net loss of RMB5,257.9 million (US$728.2 million) for the first quarter of 2024. This represents an increase in losses of 9.5% from the first quarter of 2023. Current portion of long-term borrowings of RMB4,965,415,000 (US$687,702,000) Long-term borrowings of RMB11,384,242,000 (US$1,576,699,000) If you insist on comparing to Tesla. In May 2013, Tesla repaid the entire 2009 DOE loan of $451.8 million, nine years early. This was a significant milestone for Tesla making it the only American car manufacturer in the DOE program to have fully repaid the government.
Charging power more than 150 kW is irrelevant. Humans need coffee breaks. And when not a long route, EVs are charged at home and workplace when the car is parked.

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??
This charging time makes sense .The lesser it is the better .
If zeeker arrived in Pakistan today i will buy one 007 tomorrow
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.
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
You don’t own a Tesla, muppet.
We want the Zeekr 001 in Australia please ❤️
Yeah it's super nice. But goddam, I can't buy it in Eurooe! So wtf Zeekr? We need this car in Europe!!
I'm considering the 7X
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?
Jai Hind. 007 seems to the favourite EV maker numbering to attract China cyberpunks.
It can charge(V2V) another EV with 60KW output
$20K USD in China probably means $40K USD when they export it....until this changes most China imports will struggle, as used prices are crashing quicker than the 007 can charge
Do you think we (USA ) will build charges to put out that much energy ?
Highland? 😀 where did this come from, as far as I know, no one at Tesla named it
VinFast from Vietnam making big time noise no idea why.
Afternoon almost mate
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.
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.
If and when might it come to Australia...?
I think Sam said this October.
(Edit : Or was that the 001? Not sure)
Wonder how this car perform in the winter ? My Tesla is not giving me the range I needed when I go ski at -20C. I live in Calgary, Canada. Charge station and charge time are issues in the mountains roads
Precondition the batt
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.
you can go and buy it !!!!!!!!
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.
This is a game changer
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.
does ig get free over the air up dates frequently. Does it have autonomous driving potential? thats ehat i thought im sticking with TESLA
Where do find a chargers that puts out that much?
Cheers mate
They didn't just reduce their warranty to like 12 months did they ?....pushing things to the limit will wear quicker...
Zeekre 001 havent you driven one ? China haters will say otherwise.. I want the Zeekre 001 FR
Will it be sold in Australia? Is so, when?
Just saw one on streets of Dnipro Ukraine. I’m not fan of design in any case we need much more EVs
I hate to bring this up but it would be totally cool if you apologised for Australias break dance performance. What do you think?
😂
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.
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.
❤I hope it works in reality
10:05 "It comes with two Nvidia..."
Why China won't invade Taiwan. Anyhoo, I'll take one with...
Chillin' battery! 😎
Come on Sam, a 75kwh battery charging at 600kw?. The 350kw charger roll out is really slow here in Australia and cost more per kwh then the 150 or 250 kw charging stations. So how much is the 600kw charge going to cost. So all these facts makes no difference to home charging so not sure it's a great benefit.
How can you say that fastest charging ever is not a great benefit for longer trips? In general, charging at home doesn’t need to be fast.
You don't need fastest charging all the time. Maybe once in a blue month. Most of the time, you can charge at home
@@johnnytang5192 So you’re saying when you do want to charge fast, you’d like it to take longer? 🤔
A car is a tool for transportation, all this tech just adds to price of tool but it still remains just a transport tool. People have forgotten this.
People have dreams and desires. Whatever tickles their fantasy is fine with me.
@TyPhoon-rl4xd tools and equipment used to last decades, it wasn't uncommon to use 3 generation old stuff. If people want to own garbage and never own homes it's fine with me too, just obviously unwise.
Zeekr using Mobileye for full self-driving?
Hey viking, now a ev6 catches fire in Korea. All we get is crickets from you. By the way I mute your nonsense just to type this.
That's a Li ion polymer battery. The Zeekr uses Li Iron Phosphate battery. Three or four orders of magnitude safer that the one in the EV6.
What type of charger do they require and are there any around? What’s the infrastructure?
They've GOT to change the name of that car - way too geeky/corny. "Yeah... we all want to be JAMES BOND!"
Sam now you just need a home charger that can do the quick charging.
Ain't possible for the high charging rates.
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.
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
Sounds better than the Tesla
What is their Warranty on the battery ?? Km/yrs
Sam you keep carrying on about 600kw charging speeds but WTFC when in this country our fastest charger are 350kw so no real world advantage for Aus at all
It's only when your local grid can support it. Don't blame on the latest EVs that can utilise the fastest charging. Anyway most of the time, you will be charging at home. You don't do super fast charging all the time
I'm going to wait another 6 months until I can charge in 5 minutes instead of 10. Thats how it works right?
Oh and how many 500kw chargers are there in the UK ... outside London.
It will take more than a 25 years to upgrade the electrical infrastructure to cope with the increased electricity demand, the government should have started it 20 years ago but they didnt. The reason we are not driving EV's right now is the lack of planning by successive governments.
Too true and your ICE car doesn't become obsolete in 6 months
true indeedbut hey better now than never 😅
More like a lack of a real government.
What about the Future onvo , with battery swap which will be the future as you can recycle easily the battery technology . Oh , I forgot you hate Nio …
NIO is backed by the "Hefei Investment agreement" in Hefei city. In 2020 it purchased 24% of NIO and loaned it another $1.6 billion USD.
As part of the deal, NIO agreed to:
Inject its core businesses and assets in China into a new entity called NIO China.
Invest RMB4.26 billion in cash into NIO China.
The government of Hefei also helped NIO obtain loans from six local banks to develop its supply chain.
NIO reported a net loss of RMB5,257.9 million (US$728.2 million) for the first quarter of 2024.
This represents an increase in losses of 9.5% from the first quarter of 2023.
Current portion of long-term borrowings of RMB4,965,415,000 (US$687,702,000)
Long-term borrowings of RMB11,384,242,000 (US$1,576,699,000)
If you insist on comparing to Tesla. In May 2013, Tesla repaid the entire 2009 DOE loan of $451.8 million, nine years early. This was a significant milestone for Tesla making it the only American car manufacturer in the DOE program to have fully repaid the government.
What about AC charging?
Charging power more than 150 kW is irrelevant. Humans need coffee breaks. And when not a long route, EVs are charged at home and workplace when the car is parked.
