Zeekr introduced, in August 2024, the Golden Battery, a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that promised charging from 10% to 80% in 10.5 minutes, a time far shorter than its competitors.
In addition to being more affordable and durable, this technology supports high charging rates and maintains good performance even in cold temperatures, ensuring 80% charge in 30 minutes at -10°C.
To test this innovation, the channel Out of Spec Reviews used a Zeekr 7X with a 75 kWh battery and an 840 kW charger. At the start of charging, the battery was already absorbing 200 kW and reached a peak of 460 kW, with an estimated time of 19 minutes for a full charge.
The results were impressive: the vehicle was charged from 0 to 70% in 10 minutes and reached 100% in 22 minutes, ensuring around 600 km of range. The 10 to 80% charge, which Zeekr expected to take 10.5 minutes, was completed in just 9 minutes and 45 seconds, exceeding the manufacturer’s own expectations.
