ZEEKR To Hold ‘Power Day 2023 Event This Month, Showcasing Battery Tech Developed Inhouse
Before Chinese electric car maker ZEEKR brings the 007, its first mainstream electric sedan, to market, it will introduce new battery technology that will debut in an electric car. ZEEKR has promised to share more details about the battery development later this month during its Power Day 2023 event. This is what we know so far.
It's been a successful year for the Geely-owned ZEEKR EV sub-brand, which enters 2023 with big expansion plans with new models and new technologies. So far, the automaker has delivered on all of these promises.
As this year has been mostly windy, ZEEKR has kept the throttle on full throttle since announcing a new model called 007 in early November. Since then, we've seen the company file for an IPO in the United States, debut the 007 at the Guangzhou Auto Show, which has already racked up 25,000 pre-orders, and even announce its somewhat secretive plans for a new range of SUVs. walk. .

We recently learned that the official launch of the ZEEKR 007 sedan would take place on December 27, with first deliveries to China a few days later. But until then, ZEEKR will host a live event to showcase the new battery technology, developed entirely in-house.
ZEEKR shared news of the Power Day 2023 event via its Weibo page, revealing the layered golden image featured above, along with the following caption (translated)
: Say goodbye to worries.

It was BRIC, we will meet again on December 14th.
For starters, these BRIC batteries (we're still figuring out what those acronyms/initials mean) will appear in the aforementioned 007 sedan. There are rumors in China about support for local production of new batteries, but ZEEKR has not confirmed anything yet.
Today, the automaker's parent company has formed a joint venture with industry leader CATL and announced the creation of a second battery manufacturer called Jidian. After the Energy Day event on December 14, we will learn more about battery technology and the people who will help ZEEKR in production. We will provide more as we know how.
