Zeekr001 to use Quilin batteries and offer 1000 km range!

I feel like this is good news for EV range. Battery tech is getting seriously good IMO.
While it looks like they are making good progress, let's not forgot that the ratings used in China are different than what we are used to with the estimated EPA range. The Model Y here is 330mi/531km. The Model Y there is 410mi/660km. So that cuts the range of the ZEEKER 001 down to 499mi/804km in EPA terms. (Though it should also have faster charge times and more charge cycles.)

That’s the key right. Anyone can give you huge range, with a huge battery.
Not sure how many kwh’s it has, but that will be interesting to find out.
Yes, I am aware of the different ratings. But an EPA rating of 499 mi is still really good IMO.
Here is a short video aout the Qilin battery. It delivers 255 Wh/kg battery density and delivers 80% charge in 10 mn. I think the fast charging is a big advantage.

According to Car & Driver, the Zeekr009 will have 2 battery size versions: 116 kWh and 140 kWh.
Check Out the Zeekr 009, a Swanky Electric Minivan from Volvo’s Parent Company
The 009's hard-edged design is complemented by an optional 140.0-kWh battery and 536 horsepower, plus an opulent and spacious interior.

I’m not sure 800km’s is an earth shattering feat, for a 116kwh-140kwh battery …
Probably not. But Zeekr still wants to boast about the 800 km because it is good PR for their new battery tech.

Zeekr, and yourself as well it seems.
I just shared the tweet so we could discuss it. But I won't lie. I like the sound of 800 km range.

I know. “You’re JUST sharing info”.
Usually heavily weighted towards the type of info that uplifts competition.
Nothing wrong with trying to uplift the competition on a Tesla forum I guess.
Just wish you guys would have the hangers to call it like it is, instead of trying to make it look like that’s not what you’re doing. Lol.

Yes, I really am just sharing info, nothing more. I like to be aware of what the competition is doing. I don't think it makes sense to be completely ignorant of what the competition is doing. But I am not trying to uplift the competition.

You’re still not manning up to your true intentions my friend. And you’re still hiding behind the same false justifications in the process.
Seriously, why not just own it, instead of thinking your rationale is in any way being bought here.

I think I know what my true intentions are. And I am telling you that my true intentions are just to share information. I am not lying. I am not hiding anything. Why would I "own it" when it is not true? It is silly for you to try to tell me that my intentions are somehow different than what they really are.
