A person from CATL introduced that getting rid of mileage anxiety is the common voice of all new energy vehicle owners. This time, CATL took the lead in achieving this - the ZEEKR 001 equipped with Kirin battery has pushed the range of pure electric new energy vehicles to the level of 1,000 kilometers for the first time.

In August 2022, CATL and ZEEKR Intelligent Technology jointly announced that the CTP3.0 Kirin battery will be first launched on the ZEEKR 001 model to break through a range of 1,000 kilometers. In April 2023, the Kirin battery helped the ZEEKR 001 with a range of 1,000 kilometers challenge multiple real tests. The ultra-long range of 1,000 kilometers expanded the travel margin for users and got rid of mileage anxiety.

Robin Zeng, Chairman of CATL, said at the delivery site: “CATL is a solid strategic partner of ZEEKR. CATL has a series of leading technologies and products in new energy vehicle power battery systems and energy storage systems. As one of ZEEKR’s most important ecological co-creation partners and shareholders, CATL will help industry partners provide users with a truly safe, more convenient and anxiety-free pure electric intelligent travel experience.”

An Conghui, CEO of ZEEKR Intelligent Technology said: “Both parties have their own expertise in the field of pure electric intelligent travel and power batteries. In the research and development of forward-looking technologies and ecological layout, they fully realize complementary advantages and work together to create innovative products that comprehensively exceed expectations for users.”

At the delivery site, Robin Zeng learned in detail about the highlights of the 001 intelligent cockpit configuration and ZEEKR’s leading technology in improving electric drive efficiency and energy recovery. While ensuring high performance, ZEEKR 001 brings more solid guarantees for long-range endurance through low-energy consumption electric drive systems and energy recovery level modes. It fully exerts the powerful strength of CATL’s CTP3.0 Kirin battery to make endurance long enough.

CATL introduced that from the delivery of Kirin batteries to ZEEKR to the delivery of a range package with a range of 1,000 kilometers to CATL, both parties’ efficient co-creation once again refreshed industry records.
