With a 12C charging rate that allows over 1.3 megawatts of power, the Zeekr 001 needs less than seven minutes to go from 10% to 80%.

It shows a new 001 fitted with a 95-kilowatt-hour lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery hooking up to one of the automaker’s new megawatt charging stalls. The power input immediately goes over 500 kW and peaks at a whopping 1,321 kW. Going from 4% to 10% takes roughly one second.

Did the surrounding suburb brownout while this thing is charging?

Yeah it's only like the current draw of 4000 homes to charge one car, no biggie

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

About 800 houses, according to Google.

Was the charging cable just a solid bar of copper?

how hot did the battery get, and did it lower the lifespan of the battery.

I have a Leaf. Everything charges faster than this Leaf. I could do with a few times more and be so happy. This is 26x faster. That's mind numbing.
