The manufacturer claims that the efficiency of the installation volume is 83.7%, which is much higher than similar models.
The Chinese-made electric car ZEEKR 007 will have an LFP battery that can be charged up to 100% in 15 minutes. Electrek reports that such a battery will provide 500 kilometers of travel.
LFPs are lithium-ion batteries powered by iron phosphate. They are used in the automotive industry due to better safety and lower cost compared to nickel-cobalt analogues. But it also has its drawbacks. Although they prevent overheating and therefore fire, the density of energy they store is lower and they work worse in cold weather.
The ZEEKR 007 electric car will receive branded LFP batteries from the manufacturer, the voltage of which reaches 800 V. Such a battery will allow the vehicle to travel 500 km, and the fast charging function will provide a 100% charge in just 15 minutes. The manufacturer claims that the efficiency of the installation volume is 83.7%, which is quite good and higher than similar models.
Important
The new battery for electric cars was tested 6 times, primarily for safety. And it passed all the tests; There was no overheating or fire. ZEEKR says its new device can withstand freezing temperatures better than competing products.
According to media reports, the infrastructure supporting 800 V architecture and fast charging technology will be expanded to 1,000 charging stations across China by the end of 2024, and this number will increase to 10 thousand by 2026. The power of each station will be 360+ kW. In November, ZEEKR opened its 407 fast charging station.
We previously reported that a battery that can charge up to 100% in 12 minutes has been developed for electric cars. This new product will be introduced to the market by the Chinese company SVOLT.
