ZEEKR "Golden Brick Battery": 15 minutes of charging, 500km+
Another "heavyweight" player!Recently, Geely Holding Group's Zeekr Intelligent Technology officially released the world's first mass-produced 800V lithium iron phosphate ultra-fast rechargeable battery, the Golden Brick Battery, which is self-developed and self-made from battery cells to battery packs. At present, the gold brick battery has been officially mass-produced and rolled off the assembly line, and will be equipped on the ZEEKR 007 for the first time.
In summary, this new battery has the following highlights:
1.Charge faster!A 15-minute charge increases the range by more than 500 km.
2.More efficient!The volume utilization rate is 837%；Production efficiency increased by 40%.
3.Safer!Various tests such as acupuncture, fire roasting, and salt water immersion have been completed.
4.Lower cost!Cost per kWh reduced by 148%
ZEEKR has applied for more than 240 battery-related patents
It is understood that Zhejiang ZEEKR Intelligent Technology, an affiliated company of ZEEKR, has applied for nearly 2,000 patents, covering design, invention patents and utility models, most of which are invention patents.
It is worth mentioning that among the nearly 2,000 patent applications, there are more than 240 battery-related patent applications, involving vehicle battery systems, battery compartments, battery housings, etc., most of which have been authorized.
The battery is very important and is the foundation of electric vehicles, whether it is batteries, motors, electronic control (three electrics), are the foundation of electric vehicles. ZEEKR believes that if a smart electric vehicle company wants to form competitiveness in the future, the battery is the core and most basic element, which is also one of the moats for the future development of ZEEKR. An Conghui, President of Geely Holding Group and CEO of Zeekr Intelligent Technology, said.
Self-built battery factories have become a trend
Once upon a time, car companies built their own battery factories to seek autonomy in power batteries.
In November this year, Changan Automobile, CATL and Deep Blue Automobile jointly established the first "Golden Bell Jar" battery cell of Changan Power Battery, which was established by the three parties, rolled off the assembly line in Yibin, Sichuan. At present, the Golden Bell Jar battery has been assembled with a variety of products such as Changan Qiyuan and Deep Blue AutomobileIn the future, the first 87ah standard battery cell built by the factory will also be installed on many Changan products.
In July this year, the main body of the FAW Fodi new energy power battery project jointly owned by FAW and BYD has been capped, with a total investment of 13.5 billion yuan, and will eventually achieve an annual production capacity of 45GWh power battery for more than 1 million vehiclesThe 20GWh power battery project of Ruipu Saike, a joint venture between SAIC and Ruipu Lanjun, was officially put into production.
It can be seen that it has become a trend for car companies to build their own battery factories. Not only that, car companies have vigorously developed their own battery technology, which has played a positive role in the market. However, while developing their own batteries, car companies must not forget to protect their patents to avoid plagiarism of their own technology.
