Global premium electric mobility technology brand Zeekr is bringing its state-of-the-art smart electric vehicles to Norway. The all-electric Zeekr 001 shooting brake and Zeekr X compact SUV will be available to order later this month. The first customer deliveries will take place by the end of this year.
Norway is one of the world’s most developed EV markets. Launching here is a crucial strategic milestone in Zeekr’s Europe strategy, following the successful establishment of the brand in the Netherlands and Sweden last year. Having delivered around 340,000 EVs globally, Zeekr is a leader in e-mobility. The brand’s arrival in Norway will further drive its sustainable growth.
Zeekr Europe Chief Commercial Officer, Lothar Schupet, said: “We’re delighted to be launching our brand in Norway. This is a very important market for us, and our top-notch electric vehicles will be matched to a first-class customer experience, delivered through our new retailer network – a first for Zeekr in Europe. Norway is one of the most advanced EV markets in the world, and I can’t wait to see our first EVs on the road here before the end of this year.”
The Zeekr 001 and Zeekr X deliver a compelling blend of distinctive design, high-end technology, long range and strong performance. Norway is a key EV market where more than 80% of new car sales are electric. For this, Zeekr has developed a hand-picked retailer network across the country, ensuring a seamless experience for customers from test drives and configuration to orders and services. Partners in the network, opening from October, will start with Premium Cars Stor-Oslo, followed by dealerships in other major cities in due course. These will be complemented by a network of Zeekr-authorized service centres and workshops.
Zeekr’s world-class quality offers customers with full peace of mind. New Zeekr vehicle in Norway comes with a 5 year/100,000 km vehicle warranty, which can be extended to an additional 5 years/100,000 km if following the recommended service and maintenance schedule at Zeekr retailers or Zeekr-authorized service centres and workshops.
For Zeekr, effortless experience of public charging is an essential element of EV ownership. Hence, we have partnered with Plugsurfing, allowing our customers to access more than 800,000 charging points throughout Europe via the Zeekr Charge App and charging RFID card. The app shows nearby chargers, can be used to start and stop the charging session, and manages billing and receipts.
