According to some recently shared docs, Geely’s Zeekr 001 with CATL Qilin battery, with a range of 1,032 kilometers Will have.
Zeekr 001’s documents were shared by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on December 19, after the electric vehicle received the necessary approval to go on sale in China.
Zeekr 001, 140kWh capacity and 727kg It is powered by a ternary lithium battery pack. This creates a density of 200 Wh/kg and provides a CLTC range of 1,032 kilometers. Even taking into account the overly optimistic nature of CLTC, this is an outstanding achievement.
Zeekr 001 is 4.98 meters long and 2 meters wide. The height is 1.56m or 1.55m depending on the size of the wheels. The peak output of the permanent magnet motor is 200 kilowatts.
Under CLTC conditions, the 2,345 kg vehicle has an energy consumption rate of 14.9 kWh per 100 km.
documents, especially Qilin Battery or CATL though he didn’t name it, the features clearly point in that direction. Announced in June, the Qilin Battery, also known as the CTP (cell to pack) 3.0 battery, claims to pioneer a new level of battery system integration.
72% of the battery volume is dedicated to real cells and can theoretically reach 255 Wh/kg.
The breakthrough is not in the chemistry of batteries, but in the construction of battery packs. Therefore, both ternary batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries can benefit from this packaging configuration.
CATL at the end of August, Zeekr 009 MPVannounced that it will be the first vehicle in the world to carry the Qilin Battery. Zeekr 009 It is already available to order and shipments are scheduled to begin in January 2023.
According to Zeekr, the new 001 version will be available in the second quarter of 2023. It will be the second electric vehicle at the CLTC with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers. On January 5th, GAC began selling an ultra-long-range version of the Aion LX Plus.
It is not yet known how much the Qilin Battery Zeekr 001 will cost; but it is estimated to be much more expensive than the standard version. For reference, the Aion LX Plus long-range version is almost twice as expensive as the standard series.
The Zeekr 001 is available in four different models, two starting at RMB 299,000 and the other two starting at RMB 349,000 and RMB 386,000, respectively. The CLTC range for these models is between 536 and 732 kilometers.
