Zeekr says new battery tackles long-distance driving anxiety, charging from 10 to 80 percent in 10.5 minutes

One of the biggest reasons why people hesitant to make the switch ARRIVE tram To be worry about scope and long charging time. Yes, Chinese car manufacturer Zeekr says it has the solution with the launch of a new battery and charging system. The company says the charger can charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in an incredible 10 and a half minutes using the company’s V3 ultra fast charging station

Zeekr said the company’s 5.5C super-fast charging-enabled lithium-iron-phosphate batteries are being installed in new 007 car. The battery uses “optimized materials and upgraded technology” to achieve charging speed higher than what is achieved with existing nickel-cobalt-manganese batteries.

Company also made some adjustments to it battery management systemallowing it to charge at a steady rate in temperatures as low as 14 degrees F. When temperatures drop that low, Zeekr says the new battery can still charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in 30 minutes. That’s a really impressive number.

Like Tesla in the US and around the world, Zeekr opened its own charging station at China — 500 of them, to be exact — with more than 2,700 chargers capable of 800V charging. The company plans to add another 500 chargers to its network by 2024, and by 2026, it wants to have more than 10,000 super-fast chargers in China. It’s a tall order, but if anyone can do it, it’s ZeekrThat company knows what it is doing.

For reference only, most Teslas plugged into a supercharger can charge from 10 to 80 percent in about 15 minutes, according to KBB.com. Impressive, but it only illustrates its power. by Zeekr The number is — 30 percent faster.

Regardless, charging times like these could be a real game changer for tram. 10 to 80 percent in just over 10 minutes is really fast. I mean, it’s almost like that. fast like filling up your car with gas. Another benefit of this speed is that charging lines will be shorter. It’s not yet known whether these new batteries and chargers will work well in the real world, but it could make a big difference for many people who are reluctant to switch to electric cars.
