Can a Chinese EV handle the most famous mountain pass in the world? 🏔️⚡
Senior Writer David Booth takes the all-electric Zeekr 7X Long Range to Italy to conquer the legendary, hairpin-packed Stelvio Pass.
As he puts the high-tech crossover through its paces along the edge of the Alps, David breaks down what North American buyers need to know about this emerging brand:
🛋️ The Ride: Don’t expect razor-sharp Porsche handling on these mountain switchbacks. David notes the suspension tuning is far more relaxed—behaving more like a plush, comfortable Lincoln than a track-focused sports car.
💰 The Price: Doing the math on European sticker prices, David estimates that if the Zeekr 7X were to go on sale in Canada, it would land right around the price tag of a base Tesla Model 3, offering serious value for its size.
⚡ The Charging Catch: While the 7X boasts ultra-fast 800V charging capabilities on paper, David points out a big real-world catch: Canada simply doesn't have the ultra-high-output public charger infrastructure needed to actually achieve those peak charging speeds yet.
