The Spin
Narrative A
With the imminent launch of the new 007 sedan next week, Zeekr has addressed customer concerns about limited driving range by having its research and development team optimize materials and upgrade its technology to set a new benchmark for rapid charging.
Narrative B
Due to its aggressive industrial policies, which funnel billions into electric vehicles, China has become the global leader in the EV industry. Global legacy manufacturers have legitimate reasons to be concerned because Zeekr will soon outperform its US and European competitors.
