THE 2025 ZEEKR 007 IS THE WORLD’S FASTEST CHARGING EV
The 2025 Zeekr 007 is the world's fastest-charging mass-produced electric vehicle, built around Zeekr's second-generation Golden Brick Battery: a lithium iron phosphate cell capable of charging from 10% to 80% in just 10.5 minutes, thanks to a 5.5C charge rate that peaks at approximately 410 kW DC. That figure beats every other mass-produced EV on sale at the time of its launch.
The Golden Brick Battery: How Zeekr Broke the Charging Speed Record
The second-generation Golden Battery is self-developed by Zeekr and represents a significant step beyond the first generation. The charge rate has increased from 4.5C to 5.5C, cutting the 10 to 80% charge time from 15 minutes down to 10.5 minutes. In practical terms, that is a pit-stop charging experience: plug in during a coffee break and leave with enough range for a full day of driving. Zeekr claims the Golden Brick outcharges even ternary lithium batteries, which were previously considered the fastest-charging EV chemistry.
For the longer-range versions, the 2025 Zeekr 007 is also available with a 100 kWh CATL Qilin battery, delivering a claimed range of up to 870 km on the Chinese CLTC cycle.
Four Versions, Dual Motors, and 508 TOPS of Compute
The 2025 Zeekr 007 comes in four configurations: two rear-wheel drive variants and two all-wheel drive variants. The flagship AWD performance version accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.84 seconds. Every version includes the Haohan intelligent driving 2.0 system, which pairs more than 30 sensors with dual Nvidia Orin X chips delivering 508 Tera Operations Per Second (TOPS) of computing power. The system handles complex urban scenarios, automated parking via fingertip control, and door-to-door navigation. The onboard operating system is Zeekr OS AI, which provides full voice-activated control from any seat in the cabin.
New exterior options include 20-inch and 19-inch multi-spoke wheels in shadow black and sky green finishes. The interior introduces teal green accent trims alongside the existing palette.
Pricing and Market Position
In China, the 2025 Zeekr 007 is priced between 209,900 and 299,900 yuan, equivalent to approximately USD 29,350 to 41,950, positioning it as a high-performance sedan at a competitive price point. According to Car News China, 66% of Zeekr 007 buyers opt for the Golden Battery version, indicating strong real-world demand for ultra-fast charging capability.
