China's Zeekr has launched an updated version of its debut model, the 001 performance hatchback, for 2023.
The premium EV brand of Geely ...upped the vehicle's performance in a major way.
The 001 is available with a 140-kwh battery pack ...new Qilin design from Chinese battery giant CATL. Announced last June, Qilin is CATL's third-generation cell-to-pack battery and is promised with an energy density of 0.255 kwh per kilogram of weight, plus 13% improved power delivery compared to the 4680-type battery used by Tesla.
Zeekr claims the battery will deliver a range of more than 621 miles in the 001. The range figures are based on the test cycle used in China, but even with the stricter test cycle used by the EPA in the U.S., the 001 with the 140-kwh may have what it takes to outlast the 520-mile range of the Lucid Air Dream Edition.
