It has been a mere 56 days since Zeekr, the innovative electric vehicle startup, commenced production of its groundbreaking 007 sedan, and already the company has achieved a significant milestone by rolling out its 10,000th unit.
The 007, a revolutionary model from a brand that has emerged only in recent years, has garnered immense popularity in China. Prior to its global debut in December, over 51,000 orders had been placed for the vehicle, indicating a strong demand. Zeekr is optimistic that the 007 has the potential to surpass the Tesla Model 3 in sales within China this year.

Customers have the option to select between a CATL battery or Zeekr’s proprietary ‘Golden Battery’. The latter boasts a 75 kWh capacity, crafted from lithium-iron phosphate, enabling the 007 to achieve a range of 688 km (427 miles). Remarkably, Zeekr claims that this battery supports peak charging of up to 500 kW, allowing for a rapid addition of 500 km (311 miles) of range in just 15 minutes. For those seeking extended range, the 100 kWh CATL battery variant offers a range of up to 870 km (541 miles) between charges.
The base model of the Zeekr is equipped with a 416 hp (310 kW) and 325 lb-ft (440 Nm) silicon carbide rear electric motor. The all-wheel-drive variant combines this motor with a 165 kW (221 hp) / 199 lb-ft (270 Nm) unit at the front, enabling the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a swift 2.84 seconds.
