"The 001 debuted back in 2021, and after its second technical update in 2024, its 800-volt battery could charge at over 500 kilowatts, leading to a 10-to-80% top-up in just 12 minutes. That surpasses all the EVs sold today in the United States, where the Lucid Gravity currently holds the title for the fastest-charging EV, with a maximum input of 400 kW and a 0-to-80% time of 27 minutes."
"It shows a new 001 fitted with a 95-kilowatt-hour lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery hooking up to one of the automaker's new megawatt charging stalls. The power input immediately goes over 500 kW and peaks at a whopping 1,321 kW. Going from 4% to 10% takes roughly one second. Just ten seconds after plugging in, peak power is achieved, with a maximum voltage of 894V and a current of 1,488A."
Zeekr 001 is a fastback EV from China with repeated technical refreshes that progressively increased charging speed. The vehicle is produced by Geely Group, which also owns Polestar, Lotus and Volvo. An 800-volt architecture enabled over 500 kW charging after a 2024 update, delivering 10–80% in about 12 minutes. A third refresh introduces megawatt-class charging capability and a 95 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. In a filmed demonstration the charge input quickly exceeded 500 kW and peaked at 1,321 kW, reaching 4% to 10% in roughly one second, about three minutes to 50%, and 6.5 minutes to 80%.
