Zeekr unveils a 1.2MW fast charger for passenger vehicles

BYD unveiled its 1MW charger earlier this month and Zeekr is now topping BYD's solution with an even faster 1.2 MW charging station. The first charging poles are expected to arrive by the end of the second quarter this year.

Zeekr's charging stations use a liquid cooling solution, providing up to 1.2MW charging rate per charging gun. That makes it the fastest charging stations in the world.

As of now, Zeekr has 826 charging stations with 4,007 superchargers and is expected to grow by the end of this year.

Notably, there are no vehicles that support 1.2MW fast charging at the moment, but it looks like Zeekr has plans to saturate those charging rates sooner rather than later.

Even though Zeekr isn't explicit about how fast it will actually charge your EV, we can use BYD's data as a reference. BYD says the 1MW stations can replenish 1.2 miles driving range per second, so Zeekr's solution should be at least nominally faster.
