电池电动汽车(BEV)阵营即将失去另一位中流砥柱,Zeekr(纽交所:ZK)确认将推出混合动力车型。
Zeekr will launch a flagship SUV (sport utility vehicle) in the second half of 2025, which will be powered by Nvidia's Drive Thor autonomous driving chip and will offer variants featuring a new electric-hybrid powertrain technology.
Zeekr将在2025年下半年推出一款旗舰SUV(运动型多用途汽车),该车将由英伟达的Drive Thor自动驾驶芯片提供动力,并将提供采用新的电动混合动力科技的变体。

吉利控股集团总裁、Zeekr CEO安聪谦今天在吉利汽车控股有限公司2024年中期业绩公告中提及了该计划,这是Zeekr高管首次提及混合动力车型推出时间表。

这款旗舰SUV预计将于2025年第三季度上市,采用结合插电混合动力和增程式混合动力技术优势的混合科技,将对用户在动力方面更有优势,安聪谦表示。
The system provides the same racking experience as BEVs in extended-range mode, while the engine is engaged to drive the vehicle at highway speeds, thus solving the problem of high fuel consumption of traditional extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) models at highway speeds, according to An.
该系统在增程式模式下提供与BEV相同的货架体验,同时发动机被启动以在高速公路速度下驱动车辆,从而解决了传统增程式电动车(EREV)高速公路速度下高燃油消耗的问题,安聪谦表示。
This means that yet another new Chinese EV maker, which currently only offers BEVs, will start offering hybrid models as they are more popular with local consumers.

此外,理想汽车(纳斯达克:LI)在增程延伸电动汽车市场取得巨大成功,进一步证明了人们对这种车型更广泛接受。
New Chinese car makers that originally offered only BEVs, including Leapmotor and Neta Auto, have all begun offering additional EREVs in the past few years, while Nio (NYSE: NIO) and Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV) still offer only BEVs and have previously made it clear that they don't have any plans to launch EREVs.
