On August 29th, at the Chengdu Auto Show Media Day, Zeekr Energy announced its ZEEKR Power eco-energy replenishment system.
According to Zeekr Energy CEO, Lu Tang, ZEEKR Power is an energy eco-service based on user experience. The goal is to construct an ecosystem that supports and extends everyday life. Specifically, the process involves providing different types of replenishment methods for different circumstances.
For example, when at home, a 7 kW charging station is provided, while in a fast charging scenario, the company utilizes its high-power, liquid-cooled charging station. Thanks to its liquid-cooled rectifier and gun lines, it can more efficiently dissipate heat. Compared with conventional National Standards Authority of China charging lines, the liquid-cooled gun line can reduce weight by 35% while increasing the current output by 30%, making the charging process faster and more convenient.
In 2021, Zeekr Energy will establish a self-built charging network in ten cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Xi’an, Changsha, Wuhan, and Chengdu.
In addition, the Jichong charging station now includes connectivity with the Zeekr 001 vehicle, allowing for a seamless and cashless payment experience without requiring the use of a smartphone application.
In its “unattended charging” scenario, Zeekr Energy will roll out two services in September: “Electrode Send” and “Charging Assistance.” Electrode Send is an emergency service that provides mobile charging for users, while the “Charging Assistance” provides a door-to-door charging service.
It’s worth noting that the “Charging Assistance” service will cover 30 cities this year and 50 cities by next year, with a maximum insurance coverage of RMB 7.5 million for each order.
Finally, Zeekr Energy has also unveiled its YOU version charging entitlement program, which expands the self-built charging station from the original version to third-party high-quality charging stations in collaboration with Zeekr. Orders by December 31, 2021, will also include 1,000 lifetime rights for self-built charging stations, as well as a monthly limit of 300 degrees of free entitlement for third-party charging stations, which will be valid for a year starting from the date of delivery for the first non-commercial version car owner. It is worth noting that the total free charging capacity consumed by these two rights will not exceed 1,000 degrees per month.
