  1. They likely chose to go with the 150kW motor as the much touted VW APP550 210kW motor is facing production issues at the Kassel plant in Germany. Meanwhile, the basic RWD Zeekr 007 which retails for roughly the same price as the MIC ID.7 has a motor that outputs TWICE the power at 300kW yet you don’t hear them bragging about that.

    This car is DOA in China at this price. Big discounts likely will ensue shortly.
