ZEEKR Intelligent Technology, the premium electric vehicle (EV) maker controlled by Geely Auto, has unveiled a new battery technology that can offer a car a nearly 500-kilometre (310-mile) range with just 10.5 minutes of charging, reports Hong Kong's South china Morning Post.
Zeekr's self-developed lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) battery, or 'Golden Battery' and installed on its 007 electric sedan, supports 800-volt ultra-fast charging and assures owners of 'swift and reliable' performance, the company said. The 75-kilowatt-hour battery, when fully charged, allows a car to go as far as 682 kilometres.
'Thanks to the optimised materials and upgraded technology, the speed is higher than what is achieved by existing nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) batteries,' Zeekr said. 'It's a new achievement by Zeekr's in-house e-power train research and development team.'
The costs of producing NCM batteries are about 30 per cent higher than its LFP types, but they offer an EV a longer mileage on a single charge, according to industry data.
