On December 14, ZEEKR Automobile officially released a new new energy vehicle battery product - BRICS battery, as the world's first mass-produced 800V lithium iron phosphate ultra-fast charging battery, it is not an exaggeration to describe BRIC battery as "too rolly"!First of all, it has a volume utilization rate of 837%, directly refreshed the world's highest volume utilization rate, and in production efficiency, production costs, extreme safety testing and other dimensions have been innovated and optimized, and such a powerful battery will be officially launched in the near future on the ZEEKR 007, which can be described as full of highlights. And let's take a detailed look at the "black technology" of the golden brick battery of ZEEKR!
As the latest achievement of ZEEKR Automobile's comprehensive self-research in the field of electric power, the BRICS battery can be said to be the culmination of its R&D strength. Therefore, its emergence also represents the strong R&D strength of ZEEKR and leads the innovation of the industry. As a kind of lithium iron phosphate battery, it can be said that the high safety, high cost performance and high energy density of traditional lithium iron phosphate batteries have achieved "fish and bear's paws", and achieved an ultra-high battery volume utilization rate that far exceeds all lithium iron phosphate batteries and even ternary lithium batteries, reaching an astonishing 837%, which properly refreshed the record of global battery volume utilization.
In addition to the volume utilization rate reaching the first place in the world, the charging speed has also become the fastest in the world's mass production of lithium iron phosphate batteries. Thanks to the self-developed global 800V architecture adopted by the BRICS battery, with the 800V extreme charging technology, the BRICS battery can achieve a maximum charging power of 500kW, so as to achieve a 10% 80% fast charging interval of more than 500km in 15 minutes, compared with the current mainstream 30-minute time limit of 30% 80% fast charging range, this speed is not a little fast, and the charging rate reaches 45c。
Of course, in addition to charging fast, the discharge is also fast, and its discharge rate of 3 seconds can reach up to 16C, which makes the ZEEKR 007 equipped with a gold brick battery have the ticket to easily achieve zero hundred acceleration and enter the "3 seconds club".
All kinds of performance values are full, and as a battery, users are most concerned about its safety, and the gold brick battery also has sufficient preparations to ensure the safety of use. The general summary is that the BRICS battery is "not afraid of squeezing, not afraid of thorns, not afraid of fire", and has 8 major safety measures to achieve real-time protection of the whole field safety of the battery.
How safe is the gold brick battery?First of all, on the overpressure acupuncture test, it is harsh enough, not only with the national standard 15 times the extrusion force makes the deformation variable reach more than 30%;After placing it for 1 hour, take 5mm of steel and carry out acupuncture penetration for the point with the greatest degree of bending to verify whether there is ** and ** situation, and the maximum limit ensures the safety of the battery under the limit situation.
Not only that, the gold brick battery has also undergone a fire test of more than 700 degrees for more than 240 seconds, and the standard is twice as long as the national standard of 130 seconds, but the battery can still be solid, no, no.
In addition to puncture and fire, in order to further prove the safety of the gold brick battery, ZEEKR also carried out the above two tests on the same battery, and then carried out continuous immersion, fire, freezing, dragging, plus rolling and high fall 6 limit tests to ensure that the battery is safe no matter how extreme the environment is.
Safety is not enough, in order to further create a moat of its own self-developed and self-made batteries, ZEEKR has also put into production the Quzhou Jidian factory of gold brick batteries, and has created the most stringent quality standards in the industry through its own technological innovation and intelligent linkage.
More importantly, through self-development and self-manufacturing, the production efficiency of BRICS cells can be increased by more than 40%, and the comprehensive cost per kilowatt-hour of electricity has been reduced by 148%, further reducing the user's purchase threshold and bringing users a better battery life experience and travel experience.
In addition to the release of the BRICS battery, ZEEKR also announced its own charging piles at the press conference, and said that 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".
Moreover, at the press conference, ZEEKR also started from the scenarios used by users to create a convenient standard of "1515 convenience electricity" in the city for users, that is, so that ZEEKR owners can find a charging station within 15 minutes in the future, and charge it in 15 minutes to the same convenient experience as going to a convenience store to buy something, and said that this plan will cover 90% of ZEEKR owners in the next three years, and is infinitely close to 100%.
Finally, ZEEKR also upgraded the home charging scene at the press conference, and officially launched a 20 kW DC home charging pile, so that users with the ability to install home charging piles can achieve a convenient experience of charging large batteries within 140 degrees overnight.
In general, as a new energy vehicle company, the gold brick battery released by ZEEKR this time can be said to have led the new energy vehicle industry into the era of 800V fast charging, making ZEEKR the first choice in the 800V era, which greatly alleviates users' anxiety about the battery life of pure electric vehicles and the worry that the energy supplement time is too long.
