The Zeekr Story
Zeekr was born in 2021 from Geely's SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform — the same platform underpinning the Volvo EX30 and Smart #1. CEO Andy An wanted to create a brand that could compete with Porsche on performance and BMW on luxury, but at half the price. The result is the 001, a stunning shooting brake (wagon-hatchback hybrid) with 620 km range, 3.8-second 0-100 km/h, and a 15.4" AMOLED central screen. It charges from 10-80% in just 15 minutes using CATL's Qilin 800V battery. In its first full year, Zeekr shipped over 200,000 vehicles.

Zeekr in Canada
At an expected ~$50,000 CAD, the Zeekr 001 costs less than half of a comparably-specced Porsche Taycan ($110K+) while matching it in range and acceleration. The 800V architecture means 15-minute fast charges at any CCS station — perfect for Canadian road trips. Zeekr is already selling in Sweden, Netherlands, and Germany, proving it meets the strictest European safety and quality standards.
