Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Zeekr 001 Performance AWD. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Europe

Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Zeekr 001 Performance AWD can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Power	Time	Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	48h15m	10 km/h
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	30 hours	16 km/h
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	15 hours	32 km/h
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW	10h15m	47 km/h
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x32A	22 kW †	5 hours	96 km/h

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Zeekr 001 Performance AWD.

Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)

About this Vehicle

Zeekr 001 Performance AWD Overview

The Zeekr 001 Performance AWD is a premium electric shooting brake positioned as the enthusiast’s choice in the Zeekr 001 lineup, sitting above the Long Range RWD and below the ultra-lux FR halo model. With its long, low stance and wagon-like practicality, this Zeekr electric SUV alternative targets drivers who want supercar-grade acceleration without sacrificing family usability or long-distance comfort. It competes directly with fast EVs like the Tesla Model Y Performance and Kia EV6 GT while offering a more luxurious, European-style cabin.

Built on Geely’s dedicated SEA1 EV platform, the Zeekr 001 Performance AWD blends cutting-edge EV specs with a distinctive design philosophy focused on aerodynamics (Cd 0.23), efficiency, and high-speed stability. Inside, it features a high-tech cockpit with a large central touchscreen, digital instruments, and advanced driver assistance, aiming to feel more like a luxury tourer than a traditional crossover. For buyers researching a detailed Zeekr 001 review, this variant matters because it delivers dual-motor performance, big-battery range, and 22 kW AC charging at a price that significantly undercuts German premium rivals.

In the broader electric vehicle landscape, the Zeekr 001 Performance AWD shows how far Chinese-built EVs have moved upmarket, combining a 100 kWh battery, rapid DC charging, and sophisticated chassis tuning in one of the most compelling long-range performance EVs currently sold in Europe.

Zeekr 001 Performance AWD Performance and Driving Experience

With 400 kW (536 hp) and 686 Nm (506 lb-ft) from its dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain, the Zeekr 001 Performance AWD is seriously quick. It sprints from 0–60 mph in 3.7 seconds and 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph). Power delivery is immediate and linear, with strong mid-range shove for motorway overtakes and effortless high-speed cruising.

On the road, the 001 Performance AWD feels stable and planted thanks to its low center of gravity and long 3,005 mm wheelbase. Steering is precise rather than hyper-agile, tuned for confidence at speed rather than razor-sharp canyon carving. Multiple drive modes (Comfort, Economy, Sport, Snow, Sand, Off-road, and a personalized mode) allow you to tailor throttle response and chassis feel. Compared with the softer Privilege AWD (which adds air suspension), the Performance AWD leans slightly sportier, with firmer control over body movements while still remaining comfortable for long trips.

Specification	Value
0-60 mph (0-100 km/h)	3.7 s / 3.8 s
Top Speed	124 mph / 200 km/h
Power Output	536 hp / 400 kW
Torque	506 lb-ft / 686 Nm

Zeekr 001 Performance AWD Range and Battery Specifications

The Zeekr 001 Performance AWD WLTP range is officially rated at 590 km (about 366 miles) on the combined cycle, thanks to its streamlined body and efficient drivetrain. Real-world reviews and database estimates suggest a real-world range band of roughly 350–690 km (217–429 miles), depending on speed, temperature, and driving style, with typical mixed driving landing around the low- to mid-400 km mark.

Under the floor sits a 100 kWh gross / 96 kWh usable lithium-ion NMC battery pack, using CATL’s cell-to-pack technology to boost energy density and interior space. Official WLTP consumption is around 18.5 kWh/100 km, making the car reasonably efficient for its size and performance. As with any EV, cold weather, sustained high-speed driving, heavy loads, and aggressive acceleration can all reduce the Zeekr 001 real-world range compared with lab figures.

Range Metric	Value
WLTP Range	366 miles / 590 km
EPA Range	Not officially rated (EU model)
Real-World Range	~217–429 miles / 350–690 km (conditions-dependent)
Battery Capacity	96.0 kWh (usable)

Zeekr 001 Performance AWD Charging Times and Options

The Zeekr 001 Performance AWD is unusually strong on AC charging. Its onboard charger supports up to 22 kW AC, which is ideal for three-phase home or workplace setups in Europe and can refill the battery from empty to full in roughly 5–6 hours on a suitable wallbox. On a typical 7 kW single-phase home charger, you should expect roughly 14–15 hours from 0–100%.

For road trips, the Zeekr 001 Performance AWD offers DC fast charging up to 200 kW via a CCS port located at the rear left. Under ideal conditions, Zeekr and independent tests indicate 10–80% in under 30 minutes, making it competitive with mainstream premium EVs. It is compatible with major public charging networks across Europe, and its large battery plus fast-charging capability make it well-suited to long-distance touring.

Charging Method	Time	Speed
Level 1 (120V)	~40–50 hours (0–100%)	~2–3 kW
Level 2 (240V/7kW)	~14–15 hours (0–100%)	~7 kW
Level 2 (240V/11kW)	~9–10 hours (0–100%)	~11 kW
DC Fast Charge (10-80%)	<30 min	up to 200 kW

Zeekr 001 Performance AWD vs Competitors

In a Zeekr 001 vs Tesla Model Y Performance comparison, the Zeekr offers a larger 100 kWh battery, more wagon-like practicality, and higher-quality interior materials, while the Tesla counters with a denser Supercharger network and slightly lighter feel. Against the BMW i4 M50 and Audi Q4 e-tron, the Zeekr 001 Performance AWD undercuts German pricing while delivering similar or better straight-line pace and more range. Compared with Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 dual-motor models, Zeekr’s big battery and 22 kW AC charging give it an edge for European buyers who frequently charge at home or work.
