Zeekr 7X: One of the Few EVs That Can Truly Maximize a 22kW Home Charger

Back in 2022, when we first released the iEV 22kW Wall Charger, the fastest AC charging speed available in Australia was Tesla's 11kW charging using a three-phase connection. At the time, many people questioned whether a 22kW charger was necessary.

Fast forward to today, and while most electric vehicles on Australian roads still charge at 7kW or 11kW AC, a new generation of premium EVs is finally beginning to unlock the full potential of 22kW home charging.

The all-new Zeekr 7X is one of them.

A New Benchmark for Premium Electric SUVs

Zeekr, the premium EV brand from Geely Group, has quickly established a reputation for combining cutting-edge technology with luxury and performance. Following the success of the Zeekr X and Zeekr 009, the new Zeekr 7X arrives as a mid-size SUV targeting popular models such as the Tesla Model Y, Kia EV5 and Hyundai Ioniq 5.

However, where the Zeekr 7X really stands out is not just its impressive driving performance or luxurious interior—it's also one of the very few electric vehicles that supports 22kW AC charging.

For Australian homeowners with a three-phase power supply, that's excellent news.

Why 22kW AC Charging Matters

Most EV owners focus on DC fast charging because of the impressive numbers seen at public charging stations. While DC charging is perfect for road trips, the reality is that most charging happens at home.

AC charging is cheaper, more convenient and better suited to everyday driving.

The maximum AC charging speed is determined by both the vehicle's onboard charger and your home charger.

A vehicle capable of charging at 22kW can recharge roughly three times faster than a typical 7kW vehicle when connected to a compatible three-phase charger.

Superior Cabin Quality

The Zeekr 7X has been praised for its clean, modern styling that blends Scandinavian-inspired simplicity with sporty proportions. Measuring nearly 4.8 metres long with a generous 2.9-metre wheelbase, it offers a spacious cabin while maintaining an athletic stance.

Inside, the cabin feels every bit a premium vehicle, featuring:

• Large floating 16-inch infotainment display
• Digital instrument cluster and augmented reality Head-Up Display (selected models)
• Heated, ventilated and massage seats
• Panoramic glass roof
• Large 539-litre boot plus a practical front storage compartment (frunk)

Rather than relying solely on flashy technology, Zeekr has focused on creating a comfortable and refined interior suitable for both family use and long-distance touring. Many reviewers have commented that the cabin quality is comparable with established luxury brands.

Choosing the Right Home Charger

Owning a vehicle capable of 22kW AC charging means it's worth investing in a charger that can fully utilize that capability.

The iEV 22kW EV Charger is designed for exactly these vehicles and offers:

• Built-in 8-metre Type 2 charging cable

• RFID access control

• Weather-resistant design suitable for Australian conditions

• Five-year Australian warranty

Even if your current EV only supports 7kW or 11kW AC charging, installing a 22kW charger today helps future-proof your home as more next-generation EVs arrive with higher onboard charging capability.

When we launched the iEV 22kW Wall Charger in 2022, we were preparing for tomorrow. Tomorrow has arrived. The Zeekr 7X is one of the first EVs that can truly harness 22kW AC charging - turning your home into a rapid charging hub. 

At iEV, we've always dreamed bigger than the status quo. We believed that speed at home wasn't a luxury - it was the next frontier. Today, with the Zeekr 7X leading the way, that dream is electrifyingly real. Every charge is a thrill. This is what we've been working toward.
