This EV Never Hit Peak Power. But It Still Beat Its Charging Claim

• The 75-kWh Zeekr 7GT charged from 10% to 80% in about 11 minutes, beating Zeekr’s own 13-minute claim.
• It peaked at only about 325 kW, but its unusually flat curve kept the charging power high very late in the session.
• At 90% charge, the LFP pack was still pulling roughly 165 kW and reached 100% in about 21 minutes.

China’s Zeekr 7GT currently has the highest claimed peak charging power of any EV sold in Europe. Its 800-volt architecture can theoretically accept up to 420 kilowatts, and Zeekr says the smaller of the two available batteries needs just 13 minutes to charge from 10% to 80%; a 480 kW charger is required to achieve it.
