Zeekr Electric Cars are coming to Australia in 2024

this is just absolutely phenomenal news here in Australia we're very lucky we get a lot of Chinese electric cars we get Teslas BS I know you guys in America don't get them I know you guys in Europe you do get B get some different vehicles but they are cheaper here in Australia that's actually the truth Chinese cars BS MG cars they're actually cheaper here in Australia but there'll be a new Chinese brand which is it's Chinese but it's not Chinese I mean they're affiliated they're owned by jile but Zar are a sister brand to Volvo and postar and let's be frank here guys zika make better electric cars than Volvo or Pulstar and they've confirmed zika electric cars are coming to Australia this year I've said on numerous videos my favorite or at least my top two EVS right one of them was the zika 001 zika's coming amazing news hello my friends welcome to the channel I'm Sam Evans you're watching the electric Viking zika have now four different models they've also revealed the zika 001 plaid I call it the Plaid I call it the Plaid because it's got almost the same exact amount of power as the Tesla Model S plaid which you can't buy in Australia maybe for all those people who are sad to have their orders cancel their model X plaid or their Model S pla orders canceled maybe you can get a ziker instead possibly or you could wait for the new version of the model fre or model y performance they could be good as well zika are going to be sold their reviews will be sold I believe at Volvo postar I mean obviously they're really Volvo dealerships Under the Umbrella of Chinese giant J this year the brand has confirmed it's going to be selling cars in the third quarter of this year so we're looking at you know 6 to8 months away before you can buy ziker electric cars and one of the really cool things is there is nothing nothing else I mean there is nothing else in the EV segment that is this nice this is really one of my favorite electric van MPV SUV it looks a little bit about that vehicle I'll put a link in the description but I made a video specifically about that EV and how actually how incredibly good it is the other thing is jile and zika have just revealed their golden battery the best lithium ion phosphate Battery Technology we have seen revealed in history of mankind in fact not just the best lithium ion phosphate but the best lithium iron phosphate the best Battery Technology we've ever seen I mean b Battery Technology is great the golden battery it's sort of like just miles ahead of everyone else just unbelievable technology if you want to see my video about The Golden battery I'll put a link in the description as well what models are coming is z going to bring the X electric crossover which is a competitor to the Volvo ex30 probably not because it's so similar to the Volvo x30 the 001 electric Fastback I think that'll very likely come there's nothing else in the market that looks anything like it the 007 electric sedan apparently will come as as well the ziga 009 was first unveiled about a year ago and it's the world's first electric MPV which is just Uber luxurious in China it has a 116 KW battery pack or the option of a much bigger pack at 140 KW hours those batteries come from catl it doesn't have the golden battery yet it will in the future though I believe range this is the thing there is nothing else out there with 820 km of range in a vehicle this big and this is a very big car much bigger than a Toyota Land Cruiser so if you've got seven children or You' got lots of kids and you know you need space for their friends or something like that this is really the perfect car for you now the smaller battery pack the 116 KW pack that has 700 km of range 140 KW Pack's 822 that's cltc cycle so if you if you convert that to Australian what we use here we use wltp probably take on off about maybe 10% of that range real world you're looking between 600 to 700 km of range depending on the model you buy there is just no reason to want an internal combustion engine vehicle if you have 700 km of range that's just ridiculous it's also got an incredible amount of power I mean it's one of the most B to the most powerful van in the world it has 400 kws about 560 horsepower and 686 newm of of torque it'll do 0 to 100 km hour or 0 to 62 mph in 4.5 seconds and it's got a surprisingly good drag coefficient of 0.27 now yes it's a van but it sort of looks a little bit like an SUV in fact it reminds me a lot of the Kia's current van the KIA Carnival which also looks not very vanish which is one of the things I like about it how big is it well it's like I said quite large 5.2 M long 2 m wide 2 224 mm wide and it's 1,850 mm tall wheelbase is 3.2 M it's the same size as ldb's electric mea 9 which you can buy in Australia as well believe that one cost about $120,000 Australian dollar now it does have electric air suspension so it'll ride really really nicely it's also got a 2 plus 2 plus two configuration so if you want to you can get it with two seats of course two at the front two two in the middle two at the back or you can get it with the 7c configuration as well it has a whole host of other luxury features which are really really nice but to be honest this car is a little bit too a little bit probably outside of my budget range what I'd be willing to spend on on a vehicle price I'm only speculating here guys but I believe the price probably start at about $90,000 Australian do probably top out for the bigger battery pack the 140 Kow pack at about $120,000 so very nice car very very premium huge amount of range and honestly you'd be crazy to buy something an alternative vehicle like if you're going to go buy some luxury U SUV or luxury van from say Lexus or Toyota or whoever to be honest the technology in this just absolutely kills them it's unbelievably beautiful car so if you're in this segment I mean even if you're thinking buying something like a a Range Rover or something I really think wait for one of these but here's the key takeaway for me if ziko are coming to Australia you think they're really going to just sell one model of course not they'll sell the majority of their range so stay tuned to the channel I'll continue to put videos out about zika's new models if you want to know about the new model specifications price in China then we can kind of extrapolate what the price will be in countries outside of China say Europe Australia then you know make sure you stay tuned and and even check out some of my old videos on Z EVS I've got about I think more than 10 different videos on zika's range of electric cars their Battery Technology some of the impressive stuff they've brought out really exciting times thanks for watching
