Geely Has Big Plans For Its New SEA EV Platform
Dec 12, 2020 at 10:09am ET ++
Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform, envisioned for all-electric vehicles.
The SEA will be able to handle a variety of applications:
cars A-Segment through to larger D and E segment, and even Light Commercial Vehicles
front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive
single-, dual- or triple- motor configuration plus a range-extender option
high performance, including acceleration from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 3 seconds
long-range of more than 700 km (435 miles) - under NEDC test cycle we assume
battery pack lifespan of 2 million km (1.24 million miles)
over-the-air software updates
Lynk & Co started testing the first prototypes of the upcoming Zero EV, an electric fastback (some might call it an elongated hatchback or perhaps even a sporty wagon if you’re from Porsche) that was previewed just three months ago at the Beijing Auto Show.
The new Zero is also Geely’s first model to use the carmaker’s Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA), an EV-specific modular platform that will become the basis for a wide range of Geely EVs.
The camouflaged Lynk & Co Zero appears to be mostly the same with the concept, which in turn looked pretty much ready for production to be honest. The shape of the Zero reminds us of a Panamera Sport Turismo but in a good way, retaining Lynk & Co’s corporate identity upfront and featuring a modern full-width LED light setup at the back.
