How much does it cost to maintain a Zeekr 001 electric car in Russia?

The Chinese Zeekr 001 is the leader of the Russian market of new “battery” cars. At the same time, it is not officially supplied to us: it, like other “Zikrs”, is transported under a parallel import scheme. NAPI analysts have calculated that for a Muscovite who travels an average of 15 thousand kilometers per year, the maintenance and service of 001 will cost 3.79 million rubles over five years. That is, about half the original price.

For the calculation, analysts took the Zeekr 001 in the You configuration, released in 2023. It is offered with a 544-horsepower unit, all-wheel drive and a 100-kilowatt-hour battery that provides more than 650 kilometers of range on a single charge. For such an electric car on classifieds they ask on average 7,490,000 rubles.

One kilometer on Zeekr 001 will cost a Moscow resident an average of 50.62 rubles. For a month, expenses will amount to 63.3 thousand, for a year – 759.3 thousand, and over five years they will grow to 3.79 thousand rubles.

In the calculation, analysts took into account the costs of insurance, purchase of tires, electricity fees, maintenance, repairs, as well as taxes and fees.

Zeekr banned the sale of electric cars not only in Russia, but also in Belarus Zeekr will present seven new electric cars in two years Zeekr electric cars began to be produced in right-hand drive for the first time

Now the Zeekr brand is the leader in the Russian electric car market: 394 such cars were sold in May. Of these, 201 pieces are 001.

Meanwhile, Zeekr itself, owned by Geely, not only is not going to start official sales in Russia, but even prohibits selling cars to Russians. However, dealers are confident that electric cars will not disappear from the market, since supplies are carried out through third parties.
