Golden brick battery, a new battery technology launched by ZEEKR Automobile, has attracted wide attention from the majority of car enthusiasts and the industry. According to the official description, the maximum charging power of the gold brick battery can reach 500kw, and the maximum charging rate reaches 45C, a parameter that is best-in-class in the industry.
In the fast charging range of 10% and 80%, the range can be increased by more than 500km after only 15 minutes of charging, which even surpasses CATL's Shenxing super-rechargeable battery. The parameters look excellent, but it's not clear how effective they will be in practice.
In terms of safety, the BRICS battery adopts eight thermal safety protection technologies, including non-thermal spread, non-thermal protection, safety protection technology, etc. These technologies are all designed to ensure that the battery remains safe in a variety of situations.
In addition to the battery technology itself, ZEEKR has also planned energy replenishment measures. According to the plan, ZEEKR will deploy 1,000 pole charging stations in 2024 and build 10,000 pole charging piles in 2026. The aim of this initiative is to achieve the goal of finding a charging station within 15 minutes and fully charging it within 15 minutes. Such energy replenishment measures will undoubtedly greatly improve the convenience of charging and better meet the needs of consumers.
The safety protection technology of the BRICS battery has been done very well, and whether it can really achieve the expected effect in actual use also needs to be tested by practice. The key thing is that the 20 kW DC home charging pile launched by ZEEKR Automobile, and the full charging time of the power battery with a capacity of 100 kWh takes 5 hours.
In general, the emergence of BRICS batteries has undoubtedly brought new hope and impetus to the electric vehicle industry, but to truly win the hearts of consumers, it is also necessary to continuously prove its strength in practice.
