You blinked and the future arrived faster than the time it takes to charge a cellphone. The Zeekr 001, the Chinese electric vehicle that has been attracting attention for its elegance and performance, has just gained a version that challenges the limits of automotive technology. And the figure that impresses even those who doubted the viability of electric cars: it takes only seven minutes to go from 10% to 80% charge. Yes, the time for a quick coffee.
The model, which belongs to the same family as Volvo and Geely, positions itself as one of the most advanced vehicles in the world, not only in performance but also in range and energy efficiency. With a sophisticated appearance and a technology package worthy of a European luxury car, the new Zeekr 001 shows that Chinese dominance in electrification is no longer a distant promise — it is a reality accelerating at high voltage.
The Revolution of Zeekr 001
The star of this new phase is the 900 V electrical architecture, which transforms the charging process into something almost instantaneous. The Golden Brick battery, developed by Zeekr itself, has a 95 kWh capacity and allows for a generous range, exceeding 710 km on the CLTC cycle.

Ducati brings to Brazil the Superleggera V4 Centenario: 228 hp that become 247 with a track kit, carbon fiber and carbon-ceramic brakes, estimated price between R$ 1.5 and 2 million, deliveries only in 2027.
To take advantage of all this potential, the Chinese manufacturer is installing charging stations of up to 1,300 kW in different regions of China. That means, at compatible points, the car can recover enough energy for hundreds of kilometers in less time than a quick snack on the road.
And the performance doesn’t lag behind: it has 912 hp, with all-wheel drive and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds. It’s supercar power, but with absolute silence and zero emissions.
Design And Technology That Impress
On the outside, the Zeekr 001 maintains the muscular and fluid look that has won fans around the world, but gains new details that reinforce its premium appeal. The newly designed wheels, exposed brake calipers, and the panoramic roof with embedded LED lighting give it a futuristic touch reminiscent of Rolls-Royce models.
Inside, the technological spectacle continues: a 13-inch digital panel, a new central multimedia screen with a redesigned interface, and even a 39.3-inch head-up display project information onto the windshield. Those in the back are not left out — there’s an exclusive 8-inch screen for the entertainment of second-row passengers.
This combination of luxury and innovation places the electric vehicle in a tier rarely seen outside the ultra-high-end segment, reinforcing Zeekr’s commitment to sophistication and digital experience.
Power And Range That Change The Game
While many electric vehicles still face limitations on charging time, the Zeekr 001 redefines what “waiting little” means. With the Golden Brick battery, the car reaches 80% charge in about seven minutes, something that until recently seemed impossible outside of laboratories.
Moreover, the brand is already working on a new version with a 103 kWh battery, developed with technology from the giant CATL. This future configuration is expected to offer range close to 760 km and maintain ultrafast charging — under 10 minutes.
In other words: we are talking about a car capable of traveling from São Paulo to Belo Horizonte on a single charge, and still “refueling” in the time it takes to have a coffee. It’s the kind of advancement that changes the way electric mobility is viewed.
Market And Expectations In Brazil
For now, the new version of the Zeekr 001 still does not have a confirmed price, but the first deliveries in China are expected to happen soon. Today, the model is already sold in two configurations in Brazil — Premium and Flagship — both with 544 hp and a range of 426 km. Prices range from R$ 495 thousand to R$ 542 thousand, and even so, the brand is attracting more and more enthusiasts of luxury electric cars.
The arrival of the new variant, with its monumental battery and almost instantaneous charging, promises to place Zeekr in a prominent position in the global segment. It symbolizes the definitive transition between the “electric future” and the present of high performance.
The advancement of the Zeekr 001 is more than just an update — it is a paradigm shift. It shows that an electric vehicle can be fast, practical, luxurious, and still respect the environment. When a car charges in minutes and delivers nearly a thousand horsepower, the argument that “electric is slow” is definitively in the past.
The future has arrived — and it’s plugged into the socket.
