Australia’s EV story is moving faster than anyone expected. 2025 has brought a surge of momentum, with new models rolling in, fresh brands arriving on our shores, and thousands of drivers making the switch. And nothing captures that energy better than the Zeekr 7X, the newest Tesla Model Y rival from China, which has already notched up over 1,000 pre-orders within a week of its price release.
It’s the kind of response that shows just how far we’ve come, and just how quickly Australia’s EV future is accelerating.
Meet Zeekr: A New Name with Big Ambitions
Diagnosing the problem: Through our technical control over both sites, session insights via CORE and Illuminate, and our dedicated team of technicians and software engineers, JET Charge was able to diagnose the problem swiftly and with minimal disruption to bus service.
Zeekr might be a new name to Aussies, but globally it’s already making waves. Backed by the Geely group, the same family as Volvo, Polestar and Lotus – Zeekr is positioning itself as a premium yet accessible EV brand.
The 7X is its first model for Australia, and it’s already drawing strong demand. Deliveries are set to begin in October 2025, with display cars now in showrooms around the country.
Why the 7X Is Making Headlines
It’s not every day a new EV sparks this much attention. The Zeekr 7X has caught the eye of Australian drivers thanks to its bold styling, strong performance, and competitive range that puts it shoulder-to-shoulder with Australia’s best-selling SUVs.
Early interest has also been fuelled by a limited-time launch package, which rewarded the first 1,000 customers with extended warranty, roadside assistance, and charging extras. Together, these factors have created a wave of early momentum that shows Australians are hungry for new EV choices and ready to embrace fresh brands.
Zeekr In Australia: What it means
The arrival of Zeekr adds fresh energy to the Australian EV market. More brands mean more competition, sharper prices, and faster innovation. For drivers, it means more choice than ever. Whether you want family practicality, entry-level affordability, or a tech-heavy premium SUV, the options are here. The Zeekr 7X is proof that progress isn’t just happening overseas, it’s happening right here, right now..
Home Is Where the Charge Is
Getting behind the wheel of a Zeekr 7X, or any new EV, is just the start. The real progress happens at home, where you’ll do most of your charging. Your new EV deserves more than a wall socket. Book your home charger install with JET Charge – the easiest way to power every journey.
The Road Ahead
The Zeekr 7X isn’t the only newcomer shaking things up in 2025. With brands like XPeng, IM Motors and Deepal also making their Australian debut, this year is shaping up as one of the biggest yet for EV choice.
The EV future isn’t around the corner anymore. It’s here. It’s happening. And it’s powering up fast.
