I'm probably one of very few Aussies to own a Zeekr and I love it. Have a 001 Prestige in Europe and it's superb. Great to drive, comfortable, premium. Very good value vs every other EV offer out there right now in the EU
The speed of development of these Chinese cars and batteries is mindblowing. It's anyone's guess just how good the technology will get. Car manufacturers around the world outside of China should be very nervous.
more importantly,they share their new tech with comsumers as soon as they could.dont like the legacy car makers,for examples Toyota has proven thier hybrid tech more than 2 decades,but they just used the new tech only on high end products.more than one decade later,they began use the hybrid tech on Corola and prices it pretty high.
Their government is subsidizing the electric car companies because they want to take over the world of EV’s. It’s the same thing they used to do in tech. If you want to do business in China when you’re a foreign company you have to do it 12:26 via a joint venture with a Chinese company. You can’t go into China and create a business by yourself. Folks don’t talk about this.

You can actually buy Polestar, you cannot buy Zeekr. Zeekr has 2 stores in Europe, and they also only offer an outdated version of the 001 in Europe. They suck. 2 stores for a population of 850 Million (entire Europe) or 450 Million (European Union)… that ought to be enough I guess.
Zeekr 001 offered in Sweden does not have the latest batteries. I have asked. Zeekr in Sweden does not even know about them, which says a lot. And I will only buy a car with the latest battery technology. Their loss.
There would have been a huge surplus of old tech batteries. They would be getting rid of the old battery tech first in overseas markets and saving the new tech for the home market because the competition is intense.
@@timfehlberg9051 They do not sell much in Sweden, and I guess it’s because they don’t have the competitive advantage here. So they will probably not succeed in selling the old tech.
Yes I noticed there appears to be two versions the current and new updated 001 You can see on RUclips. The new version has Lidar and no door handles. It has many new features that the current model dosen't maybe this is only for Chinese market so I won't buy it.
Very true. The presenter is one of the only English speakers who reports on these new batteries coming out of China. Mr Viking takes the time to show us how important this tech really is. He gets it. I always laugh when I read the comments in the video's where he is explaining a new type of battery. They are always so jaded by the narrative that the overly pro Tesla channels put out there. The comments are always so full of B.S. and focused on how these new battery chemistries and developments coming out China, or where ever, can't even come close to competing wit Tesla because Elon and team chose to use the size 4680. It really does show just how clueless some people can be. Thanks for delivering good content.
Please recommend Zeekr(Geely) to bring the Zeekr 001 FR to Australia, I have been waiting for an EV with a bigger boot, looks and performance to replace my Mercedes E53 AMG. Model Y performance meets those criteria's, but it looks boring inside out, the handling is rubbish, and every other car is see where I live is a Tesla. I see more Tesla's than Toyotas which is meant to be the most common car.
The technology is improvimg at warp speed it seems. Which tells me that what you can buy now is soon to be obsolete. Which accelerates depreciation even more.
I’m sure I don’t just speak for myself when I say speed charging is much less relevant than lower battery degradation and availability of battery upgrades/swaps for existing owners. This “sell sell sell!” mentality is incredibly short sighted as it ignores this huge growing market no talks about. And no, I’m not talking about random mom/pop shops that do work arounds.
@@leedaq7767 I'm not following your train of thoughts. Probably you know what you are talking about ... but I have no clue. There will probably be a EuroNCAP update with the newest battery once they come to Europe, but I don't see any link with Korea since I don't think they ever used Korean batteries.
It’s all fake. They don’t sell in the US, the market presence in Europe is close to zero and they only offer a totally outdated version of the 001 in Europe.
. @kamgarcha Be careful telling the truth here. . *_"It Is Not Appreciated"_* . 😒 Of course EVs are sitting on the docks not being sold in Europe. The EV #Fad has come to a halt in America. Only EVs that are selling are Teslas, and at a much slower rate compared to previous years. Hertz was able to dump 20,000 of their 100,00 EVs that Hertz was getting rid of. Now Hertz is having BiG TiME problems unloading the 80,000 others. Every company that has *"Charge uP Stations"* keep increasing their rates. Except Tesla Super Stations. Many channels made mention of this last year. If you notice a lot of people who try to defend EVs, LoVe to say, *"You (people) can't afford them"* . Well, that's not a good excuse. It is a *_Horrible_* excuse, or come back" !❕️ They need to make it easy for people that want an EV to be able to buy one. Now it seems Elon & Tesla has scrape the *Model A* . 🤦🏼 "Oh Boy" 😒
The monthly sales of Zeekr 001 in China exceed 13,000 and are still increasing. Although this car is in the same class as BMW's latest i3 and is more expensive, its sales in China are more than three times that of the i3.
Where is ur China's videos . At least car sauce youtuber made some videos in china but why didn't u dare to make.videos in China.Don't you want ur subscribes see China with your eyes?.

U lucky one! I want to have this car so bad!
Can't wait for the 001 to be available in Australia (RHD).
In part, thanks to you and the news we don't get in North America, I bought s chunk of Zeekr stock (ZK). Their IPO was about a month ago.

@@Stoner_AlexChenyes, to survive, Western manufacturers need to stop drip feeding new tech at extortionate prices or their market share will collapse.

Great to see some footage from your Zeekr trip, keen for more!
Also, that man drifting has his dream job for sure, that joy in his eyes 😂❤️
That driver can drift magnificently
Best video ever. I've seen them all.🎉
I do autocross racing with my local BMW club. It's super fun but don't be a passenger.
Why not ?
Geely also makes Polestar which is also a Premium car. What's the difference between Zeekr and Polestar?
You can actually buy Polestar, you cannot buy Zeekr. Zeekr has 2 stores in Europe, and they also only offer an outdated version of the 001 in Europe. They suck.

With no helmets on circuit it's crazy mate.
Chinese innovation is fast and furious
When are the Zeekr cars coming to AUS and if they are which models are coming?
Viking driving a left hand drive car. He’s got talent!
I noticed that when you were driving. Your knee was so close to the front dash board. So tight of a space
He could have pushed the seat back.
Maybe he prefers to be close to the dash 🤔
@@hardi.howdy.983 no I Dont think so, no to safe.
It was striking to me how quiet the car was other that the squealing tires.
Wow amazing 😮
Zeekr 001 in Europe is using the new battery ???? They still advertise a 10-80 in 30 minutes.
Imagine that in dirt drifting
It’s not raining! Shut off the wipers or add automatic wipers.

the same with BYD - they annouced V2 blade battery, I think they are putting them into new cars in china, but we got tech from 3 years ago in Europe.
Wait 6 months

Please make a video of the reason for going to china, your independencey etc
Coming soon.
But you were showing your video while raining, and this one it's in a DRY DAY!!😅
I am a Viking like you & why do we suffer from travel sickness when we are used to boats. You can take tablets but they make you feel like shit.
I was laughing to much at your misfortune feeling sick while drifting. You sounded like my wife did after the roller coaster. 😊
Cheers m8, must have been a dream come true. I know how much you love Zeekr and it really looks like you were burning the road!
You can tell Sam is thinking, “When will this end?”
The technology is improvimg at warp speed it seems. Which tells me that what you can buy now is soon to be obsolete. Which accelerates depreciation even more.
I’ve been hearing about EV’s catching on fire, in China.
No engine noise, the tires make the music.
Real intelligence byeing a ev to wear out your tyres
A regular person can't afford wear of tires like that unless you are in competition.
I’m sure I don’t just speak for myself when I say speed charging is much less relevant than lower battery degradation and availability of battery upgrades/swaps for existing owners. This “sell sell sell!” mentality is incredibly short sighted as it ignores this huge growing market no talks about.
And no, I’m not talking about random mom/pop shops that do work arounds.
Every new car delivered with bald tires.
insane
Imagine how the neighbors feel about you drifting?
Beluga is a kind of whale found in Arctic Russian
Cars for the rich, again…😮
Lack of roll cages and 5 point harness must be a very safe car
nice1
Thanks
And the biggest charging network like Tesla’s?
The Chinese Viking
What I have noticed is that nearly all (if not all) of Zeekr's cars are under 1600mm high - so really not an SUV - maybe crossover.
Sam's going to throw up
Do they make your shirt in a version for adults?
lol
It wasn't regen braking, then....hahaha
ugh.. tell them do alot more safty testing rather than meaningless drifting
They have 5 stars to EuroNCAP, so I guess they ... do ?
@@johngonon1507 considering Korean battery factory got wasted for no reason, every EV battery needs ongoing testing
@@leedaq7767 I'm not following your train of thoughts. Probably you know what you are talking about ... but I have no clue.

你说的是对的，中国那么多电池厂商有宁德时代还有比亚迪刀片电池，不可能用韩国电池的😂@@johngonon1507

I could tell it wasn't a pro 😆
Morning mate
first
Zeekr has no official sales network in Russia but Russian are buying up Zeekr in Russia!! Russian know what's good car
I need to be the guy, but seriously, wear a helmet 😂
Still not cheap enough.
EV's on mass are stuck at ports and car parks, no takers, tanking demand.
Okay! Keep on doing your thing then!
Move on, you can't afford this. EV is not for you.

Now it seems Elon & Tesla has scrape the *Model A* . 🤦🏼 "Oh Boy" 😒
Someone's paid for them..😂
And who's going to buy this car? Zero demand.
Like it or not, there are folks buying the Zeekr cars.
Put me down for two of them.
I would have bought Zeeker X if they had it here right now instead of new model 3 performance I just boughtm
I have the the 001 Privilege (in Holland). 450 sold here this year.
The monthly sales of Zeekr 001 in China exceed 13,000 and are still increasing. Although this car is in the same class as BMW's latest i3 and is more expensive, its sales in China are more than three times that of the i3.

ofcoz zeekr is more premium than volvo, which is garbage just like those from ikea
