Geely Develops 1,000-Volt Electric Platform Enabling 1,500 kW Peak Charging

Geely Auto Group is engineering a groundbreaking 1,000-volt electrical platform that promises to unlock 1,500 kW peak charging rates across its Zeekr charging network. Real-world tests demonstrate that vehicles built on this platform can achieve a 10-80% charge in just 5.5 minutes, potentially revolutionizing the EV charging experience. This technological breakthrough would make charging times comparable to traditional gasoline refueling, addressing one of the last major barriers to mass EV adoption. The 1,000V platform is expected to debut in upcoming Zeekr models and will be compatible with an expanded Zeekr-branded ultra-fast charging network spanning major highways and urban centers across China and select international markets.
