Today, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, electric vehicles have become a new choice for green travel with their characteristics of zero emission, low noise and high efficiency. However, with the increase in the number of electric vehicles year by year, the pain points of electric vehicles such as safety, slow charging, difficult charging, and short battery life that cannot be ignored are still there. However, this series of pain points, with the release of ZEEKR's world's first mass-produced 800V lithium iron phosphate ultra-fast rechargeable battery - Golden Brick Battery, not only let many car lovers see the dawn, but also undoubtedly sent a signal of challenge to the automotive industry, let's take a look at it together.
On December 24, ZEEKR Intelligent Technology officially released the world's first mass-produced 800V lithium iron phosphate ultra-fast rechargeable battery - Golden Brick Battery. According to reports, the BRICS battery relies on the powerful vast architecture of ZEEKR, from the battery cell to the battery pack by ZEEKR full-stack self-development, compared with the ternary lithium battery with the same performance, it not only greatly reduces the cost of the battery, but also further "increases efficiency" in charging, battery life, safety and other aspects.
"Range anxiety" can be called an epic problem that pure EMU users around the world are worried about, and the simplest and most crude way for car brands to face range anxiety in the past is: stacking batteries. However, ZEEKR has put forward its own thinking, in terms of charging capacity and battery life, the BRICS battery is equipped with the global 800V architecture developed by ZEEKR, matching 800V extreme charging technology, and achieving 83With the world's highest volume utilization rate of 7%, it can last 500 kilometers in 15 minutes of charging, just like a fuel car, and it only takes a few minutes to refuel and continue to move forward.
I believe that friends who have used electric vehicles know that in low temperature environments, especially in winter, new energy vehicles are seriously discounted because of the characteristics of the battery, and problems such as slow charging in winter also affect the user's experience. However, with its superior thermal management ability, the gold brick battery can minimize the impact of low-temperature ultra-fast charging, and can still achieve excellent charging speed even in a low temperature environment of minus 10. In addition, with the blessing of the gold brick battery, the performance of pure electric vehicles has also been improved, and its 3-second pulse discharge rate can reach up to 16C, and the ZEEKR 007 equipped with the gold brick battery can easily achieve 3-second zero hundred acceleration, which is very good.
In addition to fast charging and long battery life, safety is also a top priority. In addition, the gold brick battery has designed an exclusive golden high-voltage insulating film on the surface of the cell, which can withstand 4000V DC high voltage, and the high-voltage resistance capacity is increased by 27%, which is a "double insurance" for product safety.
By the way, the BRICS battery has also been comprehensively optimized in terms of safety design, and multiple safety protection measures have been adopted to ensure the safety of use under various extreme conditions. For example: overpressure acupuncture, external fire test, -45 extreme cold 8-hour test, 10-meter altitude fall test, 1000 flame scorching 130-second test, 3-kilometer drag test on a bad road, 22-ton roller violent rolling test, 10% concentration brine immersion 48-hour test, etc., comprehensively refresh the safety ceiling of lithium iron phosphate batteries, and also improve the safety and reliability of its pure electric vehicles through the first technology.
Of course, the imperfection of charging facilities is believed to have brought a lot of inconvenience to car owners. Especially in remote areas or on highways, the number of charging piles is even more limited. In addition, many charging stations due to the lack of effective maintenance, fuel vehicle occupancy, charging pile damage and other serious problems, new energy vehicle owners are not easy to search for the accessory charging station to charge, but to the scene only to find that various reasons can not be charged, I believe that many car owners complained.
As of November 30, ZEEKR has built a total of 401 pole charging stations, covering 100 cities across the country, providing 2,261 pole charging piles, and the charging power of each pole charging pile is more than 360 kW. In 2024, the total number of ZEEKR charging stations is expected to reach 1,000 stationsBy 2026, the total number of pole-filled piles is expected to reach 10,000, realizing the idea of "thousands of stations, thousands of piles". And thanks to the full-loop non-insulated integral immersion cooling technology pioneered by ZEEKR, the current carrying capacity of the gun wire of the Extreme Charge V3 is not only stronger, but also the cable is lighter, and the design service life is more than 10 years.
In addition, ZEEKR also released the "1515 convenience store" plan, that is, 15 minutes to find the pile, 15 minutes to charge the battery. According to the plan, by 2024, 76% of ZEEKR car owners will enjoy this convenience, and the coverage rate will be increased to 90% in 2025 and 95% in 2026, making charging as convenient as going to a convenience store.
At the level of home charging piles, ZEEKR has also launched a DC home charging pile with a power of 20 kWh, which takes 5 hours to fill the power battery with a capacity of 100 kWh, and can be fully charged with a power battery with a capacity of 140 kWh.
Through the above, it can be seen that the "Golden Brick Battery" released by ZEEKR Automobile basically covers the pain points of new energy vehicles being complained about at this stage, and through in-depth thinking and technological innovation, it allows car owners to completely bid farewell to mileage anxiety, and also makes up for the congenital deficiency of pure electric vehicle batteries in terms of safety. In addition, the number of charging piles increasing year by year also reflects its emphasis on the experience of end consumer groups, bringing a luxurious and safe car experience.
