At the just-concluded ZEEKR Energy Day, ZEEKR Automobile released a gold brick battery, which has a maximum charging power of 500kW and a maximum charging rate of 45C, 15 minutes of charging can increase the range by more than 500km. The gold brick battery will be the first to be put on the upcoming ZEEKR 007.

Gold Brick Battery Highlights:

1.Fast charging, 15 minutes of charging can increase the range by 500km+

2.The acceleration is fast, and the "zero hundred" acceleration is 3 seconds.

3.The volume utilization rate is high, and the highest volume utilization rate in the world is 837%

4.Low cost, 40% increase in production efficiency, and 14% reduction in cost per kWh8%

5.High safety, with 8 thermal safety protection technologies, no heat spread, no **.

It is reported that the gold brick battery is self-developed and self-made by ZEEKR Automobile in the full stack. The battery has completed three industry-first extreme safety tests, including an overpressure acupuncture test and a 240-second external fire test. The same gold brick battery has also completed a total of 6 extreme working conditions serial tests, including deep sea water (10% concentration salt water soaked for 48 hours), flame scorching (1000 flame scorching for 130 seconds), severe extreme cold (-45 8 hours test), extreme off-road (3km on bad roads), violent rolling (violent crushing of 22 tons of road rollers), and high-altitude fall (10m high-altitude fall).

The BRICS battery can achieve real-time prevention and control, automatic early warning, cloud monitoring, millisecond power failure, multi-layer heat insulation, active cooling, barrier-free heat dissipation, and efficient heat absorption, a total of 8 thermal safety protection technologies. It adopts an exclusive golden high-voltage insulating film, which can withstand DC high-voltage 4000V, and the high-voltage resistance capacity is increased by 27%.

Compared with the 63% volume utilization rate of 4680 batteries, the gold brick battery can reach the highest 83 in the world7%。The BRICS battery adopts three innovative functions, namely a compact sandwich structure, and the volume utilization rate is increased by 76%;Aviation-grade ultra-thin thermal barrier material, volume utilization rate increased by 6%;The integrated liquid-cooled tray increases the volume utilization rate by 85%。The total length of the wiring harness can be reduced by 157m, the number of core components will be reduced by 35%, and the energy density of battery mass can be increased by 10%.

In addition, the BRICS battery will be produced at the Quzhou Jidian Sandian Intelligent Manufacturing Base, with a 40% increase in production efficiency and a 14% reduction in cost per kWh8%。

At the same time, ZEEKR will also accelerate the layout of ultra-fast charging piles. As of November 30, there were 401 pole charging stations, providing 2,261 ultra-fast charging parking spaces, covering 100 cities across the country. In 2024, ZEEKR plans to build 500 new pole charging stations, and by 2026, the number of pole charging piles will reach 10,000, ensuring that each pile is suitable for 800V platform models.

Editor's comment: ZEEKR released the BRICS battery and supercharging infrastructure plan, demonstrating its R&D and infrastructure strength in the field of new energy. Judging from the ZEEKR 007, which is the first to be used by the gold brick battery, this model has good product power and high cost performance, and low cost control may also be the magic weapon of ZEEKR. Whether ZEEKR can continue its previous good momentum, we will wait and see.
