Zeekr 001

Seriously, this car can do tank turn. Equipped with 100 kWh Qilin battery from CATL.

The Zeekr 001 FR sports car from Geely can become the first SEA-based EV with four electric motors with over 1,000 hp.

The first batch of Geely Zeekr 001 for the European market shipped out Friday from Taicang Port in Jiangsu province, local media reported.

Thanks to the price cut, the entry-level Zeekr 001 with 544 hp and 546 km of CLTC range costs 269,000 yuan (37,180 USD) in China.

The Zeekr 001 FR is a sporty version of the current model. It has a sporty exterior and reworked interior. Let's get to it.

Zeekr 001 will first launch in Sweden and the Netherlands, then Norway, Germany, Denmark, and France in Europe.

In Europe, Zeekr's first official brand stores will open in Stockholm and Amsterdam before the end of this year, then subsequently throughout Western Europe by 2026.

On May 26, a Chinese netizen shared that he drove his Zeekr 001 passing through a high altitude area until the battery was completely exhausted without any additional charging, which lasted 11 hours.

Zeekr 001 is the first production vehicle to be powered by CATL Qilin batteries. CATL Qilin battery is currently the mass-produced power battery with the highest energy density in the market.

With a staggering CLTC cruising range of 1,032 km, Zeekr claims its new 001 is the world's longest-cruising-range EV thus far.
