Zeekr

ZEEKR is getting ready to expand its EV portfolio into European markets. ZEEKR X will be the first model to hit European shores. It has already been seen in Europe while Zeekr was testing a prototype. 
There are two drivetrain options available for customers looking to buy the compact Zeekr SUV. The single motor version offers 272 HP (200 kW) power, while the AWD dual-motor version has an impressive 315 kW of power. 
Zeekr X pricing will start from €27,500, or 200,000 CNY in China. The performance variant will definitely cost more. Zeekr claims that dual-motor version of its newest vehicle will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in around three seconds! Top speed is 190 km/h for the dual motor AWD ZEEKR X. 
Take a look at the X&#8217;s winter testing clip released on Zeekr&#8217;s social media accounts:

ZEEKR X

Geely&#8217;s EV-only brand Zeekr revamped its electric hatchback: 2023 Zeekr 001. This time, the large EV comes with CATL&#8217;s latest battery pack called &#8216;Qilin Battery&#8217;. It is designed as a cell-to-pack (CTP) solution, which increases the pack-level energy density to more than 200 Wh/kg. Thanks to a more energy-dense, lightweight design, this pack can store a heft 140-kWh of energy into an all-electric hatchback. 
2023 Zeekr 001 will not only feature this huge battery. There are two other options with less energy capacity as well. Zeekr 001 WE version costs around €41,000/300,000 CNY and offers an 86-kWh battery and a CLTC range of 546 kilometers. There also three different 100-kWh battery versions, one with the single motor and a 100-kWh battery, the other two are equipped with dual-motor 544-HP powertrain with the same 100-kWh pack. All version offer a top speed of 200 km/h. Dual-motor 2023 Zeekr 001 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h(62 mph) in 3.8 seconds, which is better than most of the sport cars on the market right now.

Tesla

Regenerative braking technology is a bliss for the efficiency of <a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">all-electric vehicles</a>. But it takes time to get used to this helpful feature. Sometimes it gets annoying or makes no sense on some occasions. There is an option to turn it off, but things get complicated with <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold">Tesla vehicles</a>. Let us explain.
If you want to turn off regenerative braking on your Tesla, you probably won&#8217;t find any disabling option in the menu. Because turning off regenerative braking is not possible on a Tesla. It is also impossible to adjust the regen on Tesla vehicles built since Q2 2020. Tesla Model S/3/X/Y vehicles built before that date can still be able to offer adjustments. You just need to navigate through the main screen and go to Driving, then change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; to &#8216;Low&#8217; for reducing the level of regenerative braking.
Newer Tesla vehicles come with standard level regen as default. There is no &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; adjustment option anymore. So, why wouldn&#8217;t Tesla allow its drivers to adjust regenerative braking? The main reason is that the vehicle range is heavily affected by not being able to recuperate the energy you otherwise lost to heat, etc by pressing the brake pedal. Other automakers agree with Tesla as well. According to <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://electrek.co/2018/08/08/audi-e-tron-quattro-electric-suv-range-regen-braking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Audi</a>, regenerative braking can extend the range by up to 30% on average. Soon, every new electric vehicle on the market will probably remove the option to adjust regenerative braking for the sake of efficiency.
<h2>How to Adjust Regenerative Braking on Tesla Model Y/3 and Model S/X?</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32384" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-300x169.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-768x432.webp 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425.webp 1088w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
If you drive a Tesla vehicle built before Q2 2022, your car&#8217;s main screen comes with an option to adjust regenerative braking. You just need to go to settings, then select the &#8216;Driving&#8217; menu from the left and change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; option to &#8216;Low&#8217; for partially turning off the regen.
You won&#8217;t be able to turn off this feature. There is, however, a way to heavily limit the effects of regen braking. Here&#8217;s how:
<h3>Why Does Regenerative Braking Limited on My Tesla?</h3>
If you live in a cold area or your battery is fully charged, your Tesla vehicle would warn you about the regenerative braking is being limited. That&#8217;s because the battery is unable to receive the energy from the regen system and the battery&#8217;s management system temporarily turns off the regenerative braking feature. It might take up to half an hour for your vehicle to recover from that. In order to reduce the negative effects of this limitation, you can enable an extra feature for automatically applying the brake pedals instead of regen braking. Just go to Controls &gt; Pedals &amp; Steering, then turn on the &#8216;Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking is Limited&#8217; option.
<h3>Does Regenerative Braking Work on Icy/Snowy Roads?</h3>
Not being able to turn off regenerative braking might sound dangerous on icy/snowy roads, but Tesla has a solution for this. In 2022, Tesla adjusted the traction control software of its vehicles and added a hidden snow mode. Its main function is to better handle regen braking adjustments on icy roads and snow. Take a look at the video down below for more detail.

How to Turn Off Regenerative Braking on a Tesla?

Tesla vehicles are famous for their in-car entertainment experience. There are a bunch of games available for drivers to enjoy while charging their vehicles or spending some time inside the car. You can even use a game controller for better experience. A couple of games will also require you to connect a controller to play.
In this article, we created a guide to help you easily connect your Xbox controller to your Tesla Model 3/Y.
<h2>A Complete Guide to Connecting an Xbox Controller to Tesla Model 3/Y</h2>
If you want to play games with an Xbox controller on your Tesla, use a data cable (not a charge-only USB cable that lacks the data transfer function) to plug your controller into your Tesla Model 3/Y&#8217;s main screen via the USB-C ports in the center console or the USB-A port in the glove box. If you prefer a wireless connection, or your controller cannot be connected to your Tesla via cable, just follow our guide down below.
Step 1. Buy a wireless adapter/dongle for pairing your Xbox controller. <a href="https://amzn.to/3HCaTTv">8Bitdo Wireless USB Adapter 2</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/3jyyigK">MAYFLASH Magic NS 2</a> are two of the most popular choices.
Step 2. Plug the wireless adapter into your Tesla via USB data ports. Use a USB-A to USB-C adapter if necessary. Please be aware that newer Model 3/Y vehicles don&#8217;t have USB data ports in the center console. You will need to use the USB-A port inside the glove compartment.
Step 3. Put your wireless adapter into pairing mode. 8Bitdo&#8217;s pairing button is on the bottom, whereas the Magic NS&#8217;s pairing mode can be activated by pressing the black button on the side until the light goes green and blinks fast.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-32404" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration.png" alt="" width="755" height="425" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration.png 755w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/xbox-pairing-illustration-300x169.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px" />
Step 4. In order to put your controller into pairing mode, first press the Xbox button for one second until it lights up. Then, press and hold the circular pair button located on the back of the controller for three seconds.
Step 5. Once the wireless adapter and Xbox controller ared paired up, the lights on both of these devices will stop blinking. You will see a notification message on your Tesla&#8217;s screen that confirms the pairing.
Enjoy your games!
<h3>My Tesla says the Xbox controller is disconnected. How can I fix it?</h3>
Your wireless adapter might lose the connection between your Tesla and the Xbox controller. You just need to unplug the adapter and plug it into the car again. The controller will be paired with your car in a few seconds. If you experience this issue often, you might need to contact your seller and ask about the wireless adapter&#8217;s firmware update status. Sometimes a small update could fix these disconnection problems.
<h3>Can I connect all Xbox controllers to my Tesla?</h3>
There are numerous reports on people using Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Series X controllers both wirelessly and wired to play games on their Teslas. But some of these controllers are not supported by all wireless dongles on the market. You need to thoroughly research before buying an adapter.

Top 15 EV Charging Networks in the US (Updated on Jan. 2023)

<a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">Electric vehicles</a> are getting really popular, but the main concerns, such as short range and long charging times that hold conventional vehicle owners back from switching sides are still yet to be solved. That is where higher-voltage electric vehicles are coming into play. Tesla recently announced its 1000-volt system and hinted more Tesla vehicles will benefit from the new tech. Future EVs will eventually make the switch from 400V to higher voltage systems.
800V or higher voltage electric vehicles are capable of delivering <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/top-15-ev-charging-networks-in-the-us">ultra-fast charging</a> rates and offer higher performance while improving the efficiency of the all systems. 800V electric vehicles can only be possible by employing an 800V battery and using SiC (Silicone Carbide) inverter, proper cabling, OBC (On-board Charger), DCDC converter and other electrical equipments that support higher voltage levels. Conventional electric vehicles come with 400V electrical architecture as standard. Because of the voltage limit, today&#8217;s electric vehicles are limited to a maximum of 400-volt when they are connected to a DC charging station. In order to reach higher charge rates, current levels should go up to 600A or even more, which is not ideal for the infrastructure that charging stations heavily rely on.
The first higher-voltage EV is the Porsche Taycan, which has a cutting-edge 800V inverter built-in. Its DC charging rate can go as high as 270 kW with the proper charging setup. After that Hyundai and Kia developed an alternative 800V charging tech to avoid using an expensive 800V SiC inverter. In late 2021, Lucid Motors launched its first vehicle Lucid Air with an industry-leading 924V system developed by <a href="https://eepower.com/news/wolfspeed-announces-the-lucid-air-is-using-its-sic-power-modules/#">Wolfspeed</a>. And one year later, Tesla unveiled its first 1000V vehicle architecture with the launch of the tri-motor electric truck Tesla Semi. <a href="https://spectrum.ieee.org/ev-charging-800-volt">General Motors</a>, Volkswagen, and, of course, Chinese brands such as Aion, Avatr, Xpeng, Zeekr, BYD, Voyah and Li Auto have also been developing 800V high-voltage electrical systems for their EVs.
In this article, we researched our way into higher voltage electric vehicles and created a list of benefits of owning an 800V EV.
<h2>Faster Charging Compared to 400V Electric Vehicles</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32268" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1568x1045.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
800V or higher voltage systems allow electric vehicles to be charged at as high as 480 kW, <a href="https://www.licarco.com/xpeng-g9-awd">Xpeng G9</a> proved. Regular 400V electric vehicles aren&#8217;t capable of doing that, because of the charging infrastructure&#8217;s current limit. When you plug your 400V vehicle into a DC charger, you limit your session to 400-volt. To provide faster charging speeds, EV charger should deliver more current, sometimes as high as 600A or even more (The third-gen Tesla Superchargers can deliver up to 660-amper). In order to increase the current, thicker and water-cooled cables are needed. Even using these expensive cables are not enough to lower down the charge efficiency, as conduction losses will increase up to nine times.
EV manufacturers have been developing 800V charging technologies to overcome this fast-charging problem. Some companies such as Porsche/Audi, Lucid Motors, and Xpeng use SiC inverters inside their EVs. These next-gen SiC inverters can handle higher voltages and also improve efficiency. Hyundai and Kia took a different approach to this matter. Korean automakers developed a technology that manages to provide 800-volt charging by using electric motors as generator and a regular IGBT inverter.
Thanks to more advanced electronics, 800-volt charging enables vehicle owners to reach up to 480 kW DC charging rates. For instance, Xpeng G9 and Aion LX Plus are already on sale that support ultra-fast 480+ kW charging. Lucid Air can go as high as 300 kW. Porsche Taycan did perform similiarly. Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 is also capable of delivering up to 240 kW DC charging speeds. 800V charging is definitely the future of EVs!
<h3>More Efficient &amp; More Powerful Electric Drivetrains</h3>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32291" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1024x696.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="510" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1024x696.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-300x204.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-768x522.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1536x1044.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1568x1066.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech.jpg 1938w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
By switching to a 800V architecture, EV manufacturers can make use of higher voltage motors as well. Porsche is the first company to implement an 800V electric motor into its vehicles. Higher voltage improves overall power density of the motor unit and it reduces the maximum torque required to achieve the same output power due to extended RPM range.
As the DC link voltage of the EV motor units increase, the current levels decrease. This leads to lower copper loss and improves efficiency of the electrical traction systems. Higher voltage motors are also tend to produce more power than lower voltage solutions.
From the efficiency perspective, the next-gen SiC inverters used inside 800V electric vehicles are also much more efficient. <a href="https://www.licarco.com/byd-yangwang-u8">BYD recently unveiled</a> its first SiC inverter developed in-house, which scores an efficiency level of 99.5 percent.
<h3>800V Architectures Mean Lighter Electric Cars</h3>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-32293 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1568x1045.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
800-volt electrical architectures can be created by using thinner cables between the battery pack and the inverter, DC charging port, OBC, and other equipments. As a result, 800V electric vehicles will use less copper and that would reduce the overall weight of the car.
Higher voltage electric motors are also significantly lighter and more power-dense than regular lower voltage units. That means 800V electric vehicles can be equipped with smaller, lighter motors. That creates more room for batteries as well.
<h3>Reduced Cost of Cabling, Less Copper Used Inside the Vehicle</h3>
Electric vehicles use more copper than any other vehicles. It takes 2 to 4 times more copper to build an EV than an ICE vehicle. But unlike 400V EVs, higher voltage systems don&#8217;t require thick copper cables. That will not only help manufacturers reduce the cost of cabling but also ease up the global copper supply chain. Because EV batteries and heavy investments in EV charging infrastructure have already been causing problems for the copper industry, thinner cables will help in the near future.
Here are some disadvantages of choosing 800V electrical system over a regular 400V architecture:
&#8211; Higher cost of electrical insulation and clearance
&#8211; Higher voltage battery packs tend to perform less reliable than 400V systems, because they contain larger number of series connections. The impact of single cell failure in a pack like this would be much higher than the 400V batteries with more parallel cells.
&#8211; Lower voltage battery packs are more energy-dense than the similiarly designed 800V batteries, which is the result of all the additional electrical clearance requirements around high voltage systems and the much larger BMS.

Volvo

Volvo, a Geely-owned Swedish carmaker wants to offer solely electric vehicles by 2030. It promises to release one new battery-powered model per year, starting this year to meet that objective. Volvo&#8217;s mystery SUV will be an electric subcompact vehicle rumored to named as EX30.

The EX30, according to Rowan, will enter production in China in 2023. It will play a significant role in helping Volvo reach its 2025 goal of selling 1.2 million vehicles annually. Due to manufacturing difficulties in China, Volvo sold 698,693 vehicles in 2021 and it seems to sell slightly less this year.
<h2>Volvo EX30 Ready for Sale in 2023</h2>
Late in 2023, buyers should be able to purchase the EX30. It will be built on the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) electric vehicle platform developed by Geely, which is also the foundation for the new <a href="https://www.licarco.com/smart-1">Smart #1</a> that was unveiled last spring. That vehicle measures 168 inches/4.27 m in length, 72 inches/1.8 m in width, and 64.4 inches/1.64 m in height.

Another compact electric SUV from the Swedish brand: <a href="https://www.licarco.com/volvo-c40-recharge">Volvo C40</a>
The Smart #1 features a single 272 hp (200 kW) motor, a 66 kWh battery, and a WLTP range of 273 miles/440 km. Its starting price of €41,490 may serve as a guide for the pricing of the EX30, which Volvo anticipates to be its best-selling vehicle in a few years.
<h2>Volvo Focusing on More Young Customer</h2>
The average age of Volvo customers is likely to decrease by 10 years, according to various news sources. However, Rowan worries that it will be too expensive for younger customers. Therefore, Volvo wants to offer it mostly through a subscription for a monthly price. Rowan asserts that using the subscription model makes it easier to attract younger customers.
Electrive claims that Volvo has ruled out battery changing as a strategy to keep pricing affordable for younger customers. This might be due to the battery pack becoming a structural component of the automobile for additional safety.
Volvo will offer a variety of batteries in the EX30, according to Rowan, &#8220;so a client may pick the range that best matches their lifestyle as well as their budget.&#8221; He went on to say that Gen Z customers &#8220;continue to seek top safety equipment, a terrific ride, and excellent quality.&#8221;

EX30 Subcompact Electric SUV Confirmed by Volvo for 2023

The EX30, a forthcoming compact, totally electric SUV from Volvo, has a new teaser video that offers a more detailed look at the car. The EX30 will be formally demonstrated on June 7th, the company has also announced. Online patent photographs of the EV&#8217;s external design have also appeared, giving a thorough overview of the car&#8217;s complete look.
The EX90 flagship and the smallest SUV in Volvo&#8217;s expanding lineup were originally revealed in November 2022. It naturally takes many stylistic influences from its older brother, but it also has a chunkier, sportier, and more fun appearance to keep up with competitive vehicles.
The split taillights, pixel-style headlamps, and general surfacing are shared characteristics between the EX30 and the EX90. On the other hand, the EX30 resembles the somewhat bigger XC40 in terms of its small footprint, dimensions, and greenhouse. The bodywork is more sculpted than the typical Volvo, with the clamshell bonnet&#8217;s closed lines emphasizing the toned-up fenders.
<h2>Single And Dual Electric Motors Will Be Options</h2>
The modular SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform from Geely, which already supports SUVs of a size comparable to the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/smart-1">Smart #1</a> and <a href="https://www.licarco.com/zeekr-x">Zeekr X</a>, is believed to be used as the basis for the Volvo EX30. Both single and dual electric motors, as well as battery packs with various capacities, will probably be options.
The EX30 was described as &#8220;really important&#8221; for the brand earlier this year when Volvo CEO Jim Rowan spoke about it. He stated that it will be provided at a &#8220;really nice price point,&#8221; while being &#8220;very safe,&#8221; with a &#8220;decent range,&#8221; and &#8220;high quality&#8221; at a &#8220;good size.&#8221; As it focuses on online sales and suggests a new subscription-based ownership plan with a three-month commitment, Volvo is hoping that the release of its new entry-level SUV will help the company connect with younger customers.
We will be on the lookout for additional teases and updates as the manufacturer promised &#8220;a lot more details&#8221; regarding the EX30 in the upcoming weeks. The Volvo EX30 will start taking pre-orders in a few locations on June 7, the day of its debut, it was also revealed. China will be the location of production.

Fully Electric Volvo EX30 Small SUV

Volvo has unveiled plans to sell an all-electric minivan in China, where it will be one of the company&#8217;s top-of-the-line cars, alongside the EX90 SUV. There is no information on when it will be released or whether it will be sold outside of China. But we have a pretty decent idea as to which newly launched car it will be matched to.
The news that there will be a Volvo version came during a media briefing held by Qin Peiji, President of Volvo Cars Greater China Sales Company. According to some reports, Volvo will reveal its electric people carrier in concept form in the third quarter of 2023 and the production version will be shown and launched before the end of the year.
The six-seat Zeekr 009 is a vehicle of the same design that rides on the same Geely Sustainable Experience Architecture platform that the Volvo will be manufactured on. It resembles the Swedish manufacturer&#8217;s reimagining of the Volvo electric MPV. It includes a large 140 kWh battery pack and a dual-motor all-wheel drive system with 536 horsepower, giving it a stated range of 511 miles/822 kilometers.
During a press conference given by Qin Peiji, President of Volvo Cars Greater China Sales Company, it was announced that there will also be a Volvo model. Volvo will unveil its electric people carrier in concept form in the third quarter of 2023, and the production version will be displayed and unveiled before the year is through.
<h2>Volvo Enlivens the External and Interior Designs with Its Minivan</h2>
Both Volvo and Zeekr vehicles will be sold in China, but neither brand&#8217;s parent corporation, Geely, will offset the other&#8217;s sales. Therefore, it is assumed that the Volvo model would be positioned more affluently than the 009, which presently has a starting price in China of just under $75,000.
Later on, a cheaper Zeekr 009 with rear-wheel drive will be made available, although Volvo could decide to keep their model all-wheel drive-only to charge higher prices for it.

Volvo Plans To Put Electric Minivan On Chinese Market

The vehicle is a gigantic minivan with the elongated appearance of the 001 models of the same brand. Widely spaced metal grille, large headlights, and giant LED taillights are the details that draw attention to the exterior of the vehicle. 20-inch wheels are also eye-catching. The design team, led by former Audi designer Stefan Sielaff, completed the vehicle at Geely&#8217;s design center in Sweden.
The interior of the vehicle can be described as luxurious and spacious. The 6 passenger seats are made of soft leather and the panoramic glass roof suffice for these adjectives. A ceiling-mounted 15.6-inch/39.6 cm screen serves passengers.

<h2>Range and Other Features of the Vehicle Attract Attention</h2>
The 009 will be the first vehicle with a battery in CATL&#8217;s Qilin technology. According to CATL, this technology will increase volume-based usage efficiency from 50 % to 72 %. It means that the vehicle, which will have a capacity of 116 kWh or 140 kWh, will have a range of 702 km and 822 km, respectively, on the CLTC scale. The acceleration performance of the vehicle with a length of 5.2 meters and a curb weight of 2,830 is even more surprising. The 536-horsepower engine accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.

All information from this hardware has two Mobileye EyeQ5H 7 nanometer chips.
Zeekr 009 features electromagnetic vibration-damping technology and air suspension with an automatic leveling function. In this way, road vibration is low and high driving and journey pleasure are high. Equipped with systems such as AI Mate smart assistant, face recognition, voice recognition, 20-speaker Yamaha surround stereo system, and in-car communication, the vehicle promises a pleasant journey over long distances for large families.

Geely’s Zeekr Prepares to Sell EVs in Europe In 2023

Geely officially announced that the world&#8217;s first 600 kW charging stations are coming soon. Chinese company has already started manufacturing next-gen charging equipments. These stations will serve Zeekr and other EV models Geely sells in China.

Geely stated that electric vehicles would travel up to 300 kilometers with a 5-minute charge, Geely&#8217;s second-generation DC chargers will also support &#8220;power pooling&#8221;, which enables charging pools to transfer their unused capacity to power neighboring plugged-in vehicles.
<h2>Zeekr Will be a Global EV Brand</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-21855 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/zeekr-charging-photo-1024x650.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="476" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/zeekr-charging-photo-1024x650.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/zeekr-charging-photo-300x190.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/zeekr-charging-photo-768x488.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/zeekr-charging-photo-1536x975.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/zeekr-charging-photo-2048x1300.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/zeekr-charging-photo-1568x996.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />

Most of these stations are capable of 360 kW DC charging, which is enough to give Zeekr 001 a range of 120 kilometers in 5 minutes. The next-gen chargers will be a lot more competitive than the first stations.
China&#8217;s largest privately-owned automaker is also getting ready to sell fully-electric vehicles outside of China by launching <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/zeekr-001-dual-motor-you" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Zeekr</a> brand to European customers.

Geely to Open World’s First 600 KW DC Charging Station

Chinese electric vehicle brands are a top priority at Licarco because the EV market has become increasingly dominated by pure electric Chinese cars. Last year, China sold more EVs than the rest of the world. BYD, NIO, ORA, and Geely are some of the biggest Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers.
Even though China has been producing millions of EVs for years, American drivers wouldn&#8217;t be able to buy one. It&#8217;s because vehicles made in China are subjected to a %27.5 import tariff in the US. Due to heavy taxation, Chinese brands had not prioritized the US auto market in their global plans. But that&#8217;s changing quickly, as more and more Chinese EV marques are expanding their reach towards western markets, including United States.
In this article, we gathered a list of Chinese EV brands and their expansion plans. We will update this post when an announcement is made regarding any Chinese EV maker&#8217;s global expansion.

Which Chinese EV Brands Are Coming To United States and Europe?

Togg

Chinese-American battery manufacturer Farasis announced its new strategy and a new high-nickel battery product at a press event in Beijing. The next-gen lithium-ion battery is called SPS, or &#8220;Super Pouch Solution&#8221;. As the name suggests, Farasis is switching to CTP (Cell-to-Pack) battery design with bigger pouch cells. This new design will allow EVs using the latest cells from Farasis to travel up to 400 kilometers with 10 minutes of charging. Super Pouch will also support the direct-recycling process developed by the battery maker.
Related Article: <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/lithium-ion-battery-cell-types-lfp-nmc-cells-explained" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lithium-Ion Battery Cell Types, LFP, NMC Explained</a>
Thanks to the bigger, thicker pouch-cell form factor, Super Pouch batteries will reach a gravimetric pack-level energy density of 330 Wh/kg. Farasis confirmed that its new NMC cell will support 800V electrical architecture, up to 4C discharge rates, and 300-350 kW DC charging speeds that will allow 400 kilometers of range with a 10-minute charging session.
The module-less battery pack will include a two-sided liquid cooling system and heat dissipation plates on three sides of every pouch cell. Advanced thermal management system will not only quadruple heat dissipation efficiency but also extend battery life to more than 3,000 cycles.
Horizontally placed big pouch cells will allow Farasis to decrease the number of battery parts by 50%, reduce material costs by up to 33%, and increase volume utilization to 75%. The compact battery pack will be able to hold off more than 90 percent of its energy capacity in extreme cold weather conditions (-20 Celcius).

Currently, Farasis only offers high-nickel NMC811 and NMC622 pouch cells. With the new strategy, Chinese company will add some competitive options to its product portfolio, such as LFP, high-manganese NMC, and low-cost sodium-ion battery cells.
Thanks to a much improved semi-solid electrolyte and silicone anode, Farasis will be able to produce NMC cells with 300 to 400 Wh/kg energy density. After switching to a fully solid-state electrolyte in 2028, energy density levels will reach as far as 500 Wh/kilogram, which will hopefully be enough to be used in the aviation industry.
Next year, Farasis is getting into the LFP wagon as well. They will not only produce lithium-iron-phosphate batteries but also offer more energy-dense LMFP (Lithium manganese-iron-phosphate) cells. The energy density level will vary between 200 to 240 Wh/kg. These will not be the cheapest option Farasis will provide. Sodium-ion battery production is also due in 2023 with an energy density of 160 Wh/kg. Farasis predicts that its sodium-ion cells will be best for energy storage applications and entry-level EVs. Energy density-wise, these cells will go as high as 230 Wh/kg by 2030.
<h2>Battery Plants Will Cost Less, Thanks to Improved Battery Tech</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-21574" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/farasis-battery-plant-footage-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="421" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/farasis-battery-plant-footage-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/farasis-battery-plant-footage-300x168.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/farasis-battery-plant-footage-768x431.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/farasis-battery-plant-footage-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/farasis-battery-plant-footage-1568x881.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/farasis-battery-plant-footage.jpg 1898w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Improved battery chemistry and much higher energy density will allow Farasis to cut manufacturing equipment costs by 50 percent. Super Pouch-producing factories will also require 60% less space for the same amount of battery production output.
Farasis also said that new battery plants will consume 35% less energy and lower production costs by 30%. Chinese company has agreed to open a battery plant in Turkey with domestic EV brand <a href="https://www.licarco.com/togg-c-suv">Togg</a>. This new plant will definitely produce next-gen pouch cells from Farasis starting in 2025. <a href="https://www.licarco.com/zeekr-001-single-motor-we">Geely</a> also established a joint venture with Farasis to construct multiple battery cell production sites and co-develop future battery technologies. Both of these partners will make use of Super Pouch&#8217;s cost-cutting, energy-dense design.

Farasis has been developing lithium-ion batteries ever since Yu Wang and Keith Kepler established their first company in 2002. After a dramatic transfer to China in 2009 and a collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, Farasis quickly became the industry&#8217;s one of the most successful battery start-ups in the early 2010s. It even made it into the world&#8217;s 10 largest battery manufacturers in 2017 and 2018. Even though it had early success in this emerging field, Farasis has yet to make its big leap forward. They have been struggling to ramp up production. With the new strategy, company&#8217;s offering will cover every customer&#8217;s needs from low-cost sodium-ion cells to high-nickel NMC batteries with silicon anode.

39 Chinese Electric Car Brands | Top Chinese EV Manufacturers

Geely&#8217;s premium EV brand Zeekr officially started the production of its first vehicle in China. Last month, Chinese automaker announced the opening of its first facility called &#8220;Zeekr Intelligent Factory&#8221;, and also confirmed deliveries will start this October. As expected, yesterday Geely shared photos from the new manufacturing facility and unveiled the first Zeekr 001 rolled off the assembly line.
<hr />
Geely has been desperately trying to get a grip of the China&#8217;s EV madness with couple of sub-brands, such as Geometry. Zeekr is the latest brand idea that comes from the famous Chinese automobile entreprenuer Li Shufu. It aims to be the ultimate premium brand among the Geely group companies.
