Never heard of the Zeekr brand? Don't worry; you soon will.
Geely, to paraphrase Winston Churchill, is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. It has more brands in its stable than Volkswagen Group. It owns Volvo Cars, Polestar, Proton, Lotus, the British carmaker formerly known as Daimler, Geometry, Link & Co, the EV Taxi Company, and probably a few more we don’t even know about.
Every manufacturer today has a basic EV platform. Volkswagen has its MEB, GM has Ultium, and Hyundai has its E-GMP. Geely calls its platform SEA, which stands for Sustainable Experience Architecture. It operates on 800 volts and can be configured for either single or dual electric motors. In its top level trim with a 100 kWh battery, it can deliver 536 horsepower and 566 lb-ft of torque, according toThe Zeekr 001 can scoot to 60 mph in under 4 seconds and reach a top speed of 124 miles per hour.
All this goodness comes at a starting price of around $46,000. The top level dual motor car sells for just around $56,000 and offers over 436 miles of range., “Zeekr seems to be to Geely what Lincoln is to Ford — namely an upscale offering utilizing the parent company’s economies of scale to drive down costs while serving as a test bed for new, expensive technologies and dealer programs.
