ZEEKR Structures Its Financing Offer

Like Lynk & Co and Volvo, its cousins from the Gelly Group, ZEEKR will directly offer its customers financing, leasing, and insurance services.

To sell an electric car, it is indeed necessary to have an attractive model both in terms of equipment and pricing, but also a charging network and financing offers. After unveiling a partnership with Plugsurfing to provide a dense charging network of over 500,000 points across 27 European countries, ZEEKR has finalized the financial aspect with BNP Paribas Personal Finance and Arval. This collaboration allows the Chinese manufacturer to offer its customers automotive financing services, Lease with Purchase Option (LOA), and long-term rental (LLD).

An obligation to successfully launch its models in Europe, while an initial shipment of ZEEKR X and ZEEKR 001 has set sail from China towards Sweden. An acceleration of the delivery schedule that is not insignificant. On December 15, the French government will implement a new method for calculating the Ecological Bonus. At the same time, the European Commission has launched an investigation into the overly generous public subsidies received by Chinese manufacturers. All of this is, of course, aimed at countering the Asian offensive in Europe and giving a little boost to local production.

This partnership will cover several European countries and is part of ZEEKR’s development strategy in Europe, which began in September in the Netherlands and Sweden, and will be followed by Germany in 2024.
