The headlight bar is really cool and truly innovative, the first in the auto business. The overall package at $35k in China - on par with base Model 3, is very competitive. Could really shake Tesla, this car.
It’s utterly amazing. A car that can do Melbourne to Adelaide on a charge! I think sedan design isn’t the best for demand but with skateboard concept taller vehicles can be produced, air suspension too. No wonder Ford GM VW are crying.
I like everything about the 007. This looks like it will be one of the few truly 'future proof' EVs. The 007 will surely be emulated, presuming other automakers can catch up with the amazing battery tech that Geely has created. While BYD is doing great I think that Geely/Volvo and GAC now stand with Tesla as the automakers that are most powerfully influencing the shape and direction of EV development. It would be great to see Geely and GAC establish a business presence here in Australia. If either company was to broadly deploy their charging posts here, we would be fortunate indeed.
Sam ;Geely holding own pole star, lotus .Volvo . and London transport companies and US companies and also have three battery research lab in China and one in Sweden allowing a good European base for vehicle sales The silicon/ sodium battery under development is going to be the technology mind blower (Check it out )
Sam you are so productive. Hope these cars are accessible to everyone. Also like Polestar a lot, another great line from Volve/Geely. Brand synergy and economics of scale start to kick in.
The game just started. Be amazed about all of the Chinese cars that will reach us for 1/3rd of the price of ICE cars... especially with the later generations of Sodium-Ion batteries. Robotaxis will be another disruption. upon the BEV disruption. ICE, HEV, PHEV and Hydrogen will die off completely.
Geely is an interesting one, since it is a private company (owned by a Chinese billionaire) so it can slip past the china import restrictions, by using Polestar and Volvo. I think though because it doesn't get the full EV subsidies it seems they are taking their time getting to the USA. Maybe they will start importing batteries and constructing cars in Volvo factories in the US.
@@narvuntienno, the general concensus in US politics is to unhook China means every Chinese business, private or not. Chinese Exclusion Act shows how much US has removed racial discrimination since 200 years ago. None
I would like this Zeekr/Geely for the simple reason that I bat for the underdog. But still the other obvious reason is there’s not enough of charging station in Australia at all.
You keep saying sedans are not the way to go with electric cars but brag about how the model 3 is one of the highest selling vehicles since the beginning of the world....
The model three certainly has a place, but in terms of overall numbers, it will be overshadowed by hatchback and SUVs. For example, in America, the cyber truck has over 1 million orders and will be very popular, but in the rest of the world I can’t see it selling very much due to its size.
Love these cars, yellow included. Swedish design really has an impact for Germanic me. 007 is a great branding, as is almost the whole group, including golden battery. 800kw chargers should already be everyone's standard.

I'll be very interested to se these being reviewed in local markets around the world.

If there is a battery advancement, then I'm interested to understand how competitors will react, and as ever with technology, how THIS level will eventually be leapfrogged to whatever comes next. Either way, progress, if it really exists here, is a good thing.
@@kenbehrens5778 forgive me if I'm not jumping around waving pom poms every time there's a claim made on the internet. Strange as it may seem, I like to see independent reviews from multiple sources to verify what is being claimed.
Great car for the price$$ just a few questions about battery life... how long are they saying the batteries will last??? In other words, how many cycles can be achieved? That is only game changing unknown factor that I can think of & happy new year Mr E Viking 🎉
Very interesting. Personal I prefer a crossover design. , don’t take as much bending and folding to get into it , a factor; as u get older and stiffer. Lol
It’s great to see new battery tech like this. Waiting for it to trickle down to EX30 sized cars. This size class is just too big for us. EX30 would be a perfect fit if it had 600km range and had a dashboard or HUD. Better aerodynamics would help that goal too. 0.28 drag coefficient isn’t great.
There may be a large market for EVs with SMALL battery packs, SHORT range. My three friends, retirees who charge their Model 3s at home, seldom drive far. If they travel, they fly. Surely there are many such folks who'd welcome lighter vehicles with smaller battery packs. I would. Thoughts?
SAM, HERE IS AN IDEA FOR TESLA ELECTRIC CARS TO HAVE UNLIMITED RANGE BY PUTTING A BICYCLE GENERATOR PUT ON EACH WHEEL SO THAT POTENTIALLY YOU NEVER HAVE TO CHARGE UP AGAIN FROM A WALL CHARGER. ANY ELECTRIC VEHICLE COULD USE THIS SYSTEM. THE BETTER THE GENERATOR THEN MAYBE ONLY ONE OR TWO WOULD BE NEEDED- !!!!
Ha , funny If it was that easy they would have gone that way years ago. As soon as you add a conductive load in the form of a generator , the main power source has to work harder to over come it , so you end up with a power stalemate .
China annual increase for solar power is more than the total sum of USA. It’s extraordinary number. As Elon Musk said it would be enough for the entire china electricity consumption.
Rate of addition for wind and solar in China is extraordinary. For comparison in 2022-23 combined they will add wind and solar equivalent to 10 times the amount of peak grid demand/supply from ALL sources: hydro, nuclear, gas, wind, solar etc. for Ontario which is Canada's most heavily industrialized province. But for the moment, China is still burning a lot of coal. It's still going to take them a few more years to get to net zero carbon.
870km range might entice me to purchase an electric car, but would prefer a Tesla. Long distance country driving in Australia requires high range - the fast recharging simply isn’t widespread.
The battery tech is amazing and should put all of the misconceptions around evs to bed once & for all. However, I think here in Britain, the badge might put people off and they would rather wait for a Volvo with the same battery even if it means a higher list price.
What is the benefit of so many brands under the Geely umbrella? Seems inefficient. Like the old days of GM. Chevrolet, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Cadillac all having the same basic car under a different name. I suppose they could be differentiated by value, performance, luxury etc but in the EV space they all seem similar.????
The prices are high in Sweden....artificially low in China. No way they can make a profit on it with a price of 35000 dollars. Price in Sweden is the double.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof" by independent analysts, especially to verify the 1000C ludicrous claims and fast charging cycle life degradation.
No need to worry about quality, as electric vehicles in China have been developing for 10 years, and this year's shipment volume is close to 10 million units, with 2 million exported to other countries. The data speaks for itself.@@royritchie4184
I have to have a color, Gray looks like a battleship. White looks like a refrigerator. Black = hearse. I've bought two white used cars, and painted both of them. I had a lemon yellow 1970 Duster that looked pretty sharp. That yellow looks like a school bus. And I know what baby shit looks like. My wife had a car that color, and I repainted that too. Red.
The technology might be good, but it's only useful if you pay the premium for that special battery and have access to a suitable charger? And it's still not cheap: over twenty grand more than a good quality, competent ICE car. And on the humorous side, apparently you can talk to pedestrians outside because it has an external speaker: I wonder how long it is before some genius plays the sound of a police siren through that to try and clear traffic from in front of them 🤣 And how have they got away with using '007'? Did they buy the rights to use it?
Does anyone know if and when Zeekr cars will go on sale in the UK and Europe? Otherwise, although it’s interesting and all, it’s not really relevant for Europeans, especially since it’s not likely to be sold in the USA. I agree with the sedan thing, not practical for my family’s needs, I prefer hatchbacks. You can’t have 3 kids in the back and a dog in the boot, nor is it useful for trips to Ikea or the rubbish tip.
The problem these days, as with all Chinese made cars, is the lingering doubts about Quality Control. Stories of rust and cars catching fire in China, are not helping their cause! Import taxes will also affect the pricing, making the car not quite the bargain it appears. Lastly, as everyone is aware these days, when it comes to Software and Charging...Tesla wins every time. I'm not sure what Chinese makers can do to counter this narrative.
Geely is the new VW group with Zeekr, Polestar, Volvo, Smart, Lotus. I have the #1 Brabus off the same platform.
The headlight bar is really cool and truly innovative, the first in the auto business. The overall package at $35k in China - on par with base Model 3, is very competitive. Could really shake Tesla, this car.

Does it come with a Vesper Martini? Also is there any hidden weapons. That would be a deal breaker.
Great ride for a traveling salesman or specialized technician who works in rural places. Unless they have a lot of kit.
So the base model outside China will be $62,000 plus then. Given every Chinese EV doubles in price outside China.
