"Geely's Lynk & Co brand has shown today a camouflaged prototype of an all-new all-electric Zero EV model that currently is undergoing its first dynamic testing in China.
The concept version of Zero EV was unveiled just three months ago at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show and recently the pre-production version has begun high validation speed testing at the Yan Cheng test facility in China’s Jiangsu Province.
The work on the Zero EV progresses really quickly as the company is pushing hard to complete further physical testing (including wind tunnel, and cold and hot weather testing) over the next several months and aims to start production in mid-2021. The first customer deliveries are expected in the last quarter of 2021.
The Zero EV looks really promising not only from the outside, but also because it's the first vehicle based on Geely’s all-new Sustainable Electric Architecture (SEA).
The SEA platform is envisioned for high-end electric cars with 800 V battery system. In the case of Zero EV specifically, it will accelerate 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 4 seconds and has a range of up to 700 km (435 miles) - under the NEDC test cycle used in China we guess. ...
According to the Chinese manufacturer, the Zero EVs 800 V battery will withstand 2 million kilometre (1.24 million miles) and the first 200,000 km (124,000 miles) should not show any "power degradation" - although we guess they mean energy capacity (kWh) or range."
