Side-by-Side Specs
| Spec | Volvo ES90 | Zeekr 001 |
|---|---|---|
| Compared variant | Twin Motor | Long Range RWD |
| Battery (approx.) | ~102 kWh | ~94 kWh |
| WLTP range (rated) | ~700 km | ~590 km |
| Efficiency (approx.) | ~191 Wh/km | ~186 Wh/km |
| DC fast charging (published) | up to 350 kW | up to 200 kW |
| 10-80% charge time (approx.) | ~23 min | ~28 min |
| Max AC charging | up to 11 kW | up to 11 kW |
| DC connector | CCS2 | CCS2 |
Charging Speed
The Volvo ES90 has the higher published DC charging figure at 350 kW, which is roughly 75% higher than the Zeekr 001 at 200 kW. In practice, that figure 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 published fast-charge window, the Volvo ES90 is listed at about 23 minutes, which is 5 minutes quicker than the Zeekr 001 at 28 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Volvo ES90 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 700 km, which is roughly 110 km more than the Zeekr 001 at approximately 590 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 191 Wh/km for the Volvo ES90. 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 Volvo ES90 has approximately 102 kWh of useable battery , while the Zeekr 001 has approximately 94 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging is your priority, the Volvo ES90 has the higher published DC figure (up to 350 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 23 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
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 Volvo ES90 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 700 km, which is roughly 110 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.
