Chinese electric vehicle maker Zeekr on Tuesday unveiled its refreshed 001 hatchbacks and 007 sedans with a major upgrade for its driving assist technology, or Navigation Zeekr Pilot (NZP). Rival Huawei on August 6 boasted about its prowess in this area while Xpeng Motors in July said it expected to provide similar capabilities in the fourth quarter of this year, TechNode reported. Zeekr said its second generation of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery needs only 10.5 minutes to go from 10% to 80% at a 5.5C charge rate. Meanwhile, the company introduced a new entry-level 001 featuring Mobileye’s chips and software and priced at RMB 259,000, but shifted to Nvidia DRIVE processors for the rest of the 001 variants as part of a strategy to develop its own ADAS.
