Side-by-Side Specs
| Spec | Audi e-tron GT | Zeekr 001 |
|---|---|---|
| Battery (approx.) | ~83.7 kWh | ~94 kWh |
| WLTP range (rated) | ~488 km | ~590 km |
| Efficiency (approx.) | ~202 Wh/km | ~186 Wh/km |
| Max DC charging | up to 270 kW | up to 200 kW |
| 10-80% charge time (approx.) | ~18 min | ~28 min |
| Max AC charging | up to 11 kW | up to 11 kW |
| DC connector | CCS2 | CCS2 |
Charging Speed
The Audi e-tron GT has a peak DC charging speed of 270 kW, which is roughly 35% faster than the Zeekr 001 at 200 kW. In practice, peak speed only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Audi e-tron GT finishes in about 18 minutes, which is 10 minutes quicker than the Zeekr 001 at 28 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Zeekr 001 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 590 km, which is roughly 102 km more than the Audi e-tron GT at approximately 488 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Zeekr 001 consumes 186 Wh/km, compared to 202 Wh/km for the Audi e-tron GT. That means the Zeekr 001 uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Zeekr 001 has approximately 94 kWh of useable battery , while the Audi e-tron GT has approximately 83.7 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging speed is your priority, the Audi e-tron GT wins on both peak power (up to 270 kW) and time at the plug (approximately 18 minutes from 10-80%). For long road trips with multiple charging stops, that faster turnaround makes a real difference.
Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Zeekr 001 is the more efficient choice at 186 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Zeekr 001 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 590 km, which is roughly 102 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
