Love or hate China - manufacturing in China was a big disrupter for traditional manufacturing but was a major contributor to keeping cost of living lower than otherwise. China now doing the same for transportation but adding quality and innovation to get ahead of legacy.
Ev cars are so good that I kind of hating ice cars, toooooo noisy and dirty! Thank you China for your cost effective Ev cars! Poor people can choose Ev cars for saving our planet also!
Tesla is very good, great that other players are challenging them forcing cheaper prices and possible models with less features. For example, Mexico is getting a stripped-down version that doesn't have heated seats and steering wheel and cloth seats. All of these less standard options would appeal to me.
Geely need to slow down so the others from the western hemisphere can catch up, US gov should ban and sanction chinese ev's from using qualcomm snap dragon chips in their ev's and that will put a stop to china.
Geely's self driving tech still has a long way to go. Just saw a video where an E5 can't hold the lane by itself. Otherwise they make some nice looking cars, although Chinese say online that Geely cuts corners where it's not directly visible to the naked eye. The Link&Co Z10 is probably a cousin of the Geely Galaxy E8 as well as a rebranded Zeekr 001. Lynk&Co was known for the Volvo ICE engine tech, very strong design identity and not for everyone. Zeekr is regarded as a little more premium while Geely is the goat of cheap cars image wise. Interesting marketing choices for the E8 and the Z10.
Hi, it does sound amazing the developments in EV cars and the availability in the near future in Australia. Can you create another video in your enthusiastic well researched style about the expected servicing, insurance and warranty in Australia with these new brands. There is one thing that will ruin my purchase will be the after sales service, ease of booking (lets say Central Coast) - price - and the customer service attitude?
Growth is also due to lower starting numbers. Still I do like Link&co, wish hry were coming to Oz. And stop bagging sedans, they drive better, are lighter and more effecient than comparable bloated SUV. I do want it, perfect for me.
Evolution baby. I remember years ago when some were saying "the Chinese are coming " , this is no joke. The change will be drastic and most of the conventional car manufacturers will vanish imo.
I'd be more than satisfied with half that range as long as the charging speed is decent. There's no way I'd be driving that far without stopping to grab some grub and just take a load off. As a matter of fact, that's more range than I'd be using in an entire week of driving.
@@mrblurleighton exactly. I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with getting the range number as high as possible. I'd be more than happy with 400 (if it's really 400, even in Winter) as long as charging is not the nightmare it is right now

Buddyl UK here. Can you quote all yr stats with miles as well as km. Wd help your countrymen too. Hard to get a quick feel of 643km charge in 15 mins. How does it compare to Tesla?
Fast charging is just for marketing. When you have more than two vehicles charging you will have limited speed and it will take forever to fill up. Here in Finland most transformers are at about 400kW and then you have about 6 satellites. Think about these cars with 600kW peak charging speed. It means you have a mean speed of about 400kW so you need to have a transformers rated for 2.4 MW😮. So more than 100homes just to charge 6 cars, no one will give you permission to build stations like this if it is not next to a power plant.😅
@@tommynickels4570 This will always be the case in remote areas. To build these fast chargers you would need huge battery packs to take care of the peaks.
I'm not sold on this car, the price is a little high. 280000 rmb is still a single motor rear drive. And it uses a lot of parts from the OLD ZEEKR 001 (that's the ZEEKR001 produced a few years ago not the 2024 model) to keep costs down ......
I remember a movie Electric Viking made about exciting battery technology for ICE cars. Anybody remember the name of the company that made an affordable and lightweight replacement battery?
I've just googled whether Geely owns Zeekr. It does. Whilst reading my search results, I noticed how many brands Geely has vs the abysmal necrosis of US automakers.
All this is great but where do we have chargers that fast? 200-250kw is max I k ow of in uk and will these batteries last as well being charged this aggressively? My tesla charges so fast I rarely have time for a pee and get coffee before I have to move the car 🤷🏻♂️
The bottleneck will be charging infrastructure especially in urbanised high-rise cities. Most governments are probably going to have to scramble to ensure there are enough chargers in office and apartment carparks. The adoption rate in cities like Singapore will be determined by that.
The charging speed is faster in 800V architectures, but over time, 800V architectures are more prone to issues with insulation resistance if proper care is not taken in the design and selection of insulating materials. Could it be that after 2, 3, or 4 years, we will start facing problems with cars that have these architectures?
Hi Viking, are there many, if any, 600kw charging stations in any country around the world? The most common chargers I've seen in Sweden are 50kw (which is the top charging speed most older EVs can handle) but some are being upgraded to 150kw. A very few are 350kw, which is also the world's fastest charging speed in a few countries. As I understand the upgrade is very expensive.
Brilliant car , but totally unnecessary for the actual world. I drive a VW polo lift back, its all you need in the UK I just hope china can build an electric version for say $15,000. And please no touch screen , just a radio and heater and AC dial controls, indicator and wiper stalks , and a phone holder. I'll navigate by Google maps.
Actually I own that type of car. The Volkswagen E-Up. I admit, it's a bit smaller than a Polo, but I prefer this EV over the ICE Polo. It has no big touch screen but a phone holder. It has AC, CC, four seats, 5 doors. Range is about 250km. I really like this car.
To date, every car from the Geely group is not priced as competitively in Australia as they are in China. BYDs sold locally certainly have the edge over Geely cars in terms of pricing.
All of them are or will be in (big) trouble. They do not have any competative cars (in price and technology). They were to "lazy" to do R&D and put their money into nevs, they made enough money on ic, until the chinese came over. I still remember from the first chinese car and lst 2 years with ev's, we all (press, people) all laugh at them. aliexpress quality. And suddenly the west were not laughing and recognized a competitor, so we have to "ban" them. Too bad. I would also buy a chinese ev now, I test drove them and have to say, I was astonished about the (build) quality, it's just (better) then the german brand.

I’ve just woken up in overcast Adelaide apologies for all over the place comment. Don’t know why Sam seems to think 600kw charging and the speed of the one he’s just ordered is so important and better than dated slow 179kw chargers… when most charging will be slow and done at home other than those who can’t. More importantly I’m unaware of any DC fast chargers greater than 250kw speeds.. in my experience you rarely get above 150 and the existing infrastructure is just not there…. I’m more than happy with 170 - 250kw speeds as virtually all my charging will be done at home. I’ve hired Model 3 and Y several times and was more than happy with it whilst I wait to see what Juniper stacks up like. Whilst waiting for insurance to finish my concrete garage, now in its 4th year, I’m pivoting to a Tesla cos I feel that’s a company that will be around in 10-15 years to claim warranty etc…. some other companies I’m not so sure about.
China is ahead with their charging infrastructure, where most of these will be sold. They have faster charge points there and some of the new batteries prefer to be charged to full. Those that live in apartments without enough chargers, that want fast charging time, will want to take advantage of stations that allow one to fast charge to full. Maybe the plan is to make stations where folks can “refuel” like ICE cars, anytime they want, to full as well, enabling more people to move the EVs faster. As more manufacturers are working on solid state batteries, bringing the charge time down, close to ICE refueling time, that allow those that want to get going faster to do so and with longer range, that solves the range anxiety thing that’s preventing others from getting an EV.
My sister lives in China. There’re 600kw chargers 50 meters away from her home. She charges the car for 10 minutes and that’s enough juice for her commute a full week. She has to wait 40 minutes on old 150 kw chargers.

Life is all about choices and we're spoilt with so many EV car models now 😊❤
Sadly it's gonna cost Double in the west.
