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.
Canadian Arrival Status
Zeekr, the premium brand from Geely Group (Volvo, Polestar, Lotus), is targeting a Canadian launch by mid-2027. Zeekr holds a key structural advantage: access to Volvo's established Canadian dealer and service network, giving it a ready-made distribution channel that most Chinese EV entrants lack. The flagship 001 shooting brake is expected at approximately $50,000 CAD — less than half the price of a comparable Porsche Taycan while delivering matching performance (0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, 620 km range). CATL's Qilin 800V battery enables a 10-80% charge in just 15 minutes. Zeekr is already on sale in several European markets (Sweden, Netherlands, Germany), proving compliance with Western safety and quality standards. Chinese EVs are not eligible for the federal EVAP rebate; Quebec's Roulez vert incentive ($2,000) applies. Over 2,400 Canadians have already signed up for launch alerts on china-ev.ca.
