vs

The Tesla Model Y is rated 681 km on the WLTP cycle, the Zeekr 7X 615. A 10–80% stop takes 30 minutes in the Tesla Model Y and 16 in the Zeekr 7X. Every figure below names the badge it belongs to, and the three tools further down turn the same numbers into a charging race, a road trip and a yearly bill.

The short answer

The Zeekr 7X is the quicker car to charge.

1

The Tesla Model Y is rated 681 km against 615 — 66 km, 11% further.

2

A 10–80% stop takes 16 minutes in the Zeekr 7X and 30 in the Tesla Model Y. On a 50 kW post it is 71 and 84 minutes, so most of the advantage disappears at a slow site.

3

The Zeekr 7X lists 539 L of luggage space against 420 L.

Which one, in one line

Pick the Zeekr 7X ifit wins on charging (16 minutes against 30), space (539 L of boot against 420 L).

The priceThe Tesla Model Y is the cheaper to buy, listed from A$55,900; both are list prices before on-road costs and incentives.

Charging, raced

Two cars, one post, same clock

Charging speed is a station number and a car number, and the smaller one wins. Set the post and both cars fill against the same clock — the interesting part is not who wins, it is how much of the gap a slow post takes away.

Each car is modelled on its own published 10–80% time, which gives an average power over that window: 119 kW for the Tesla Model Y, 263 kW for the Zeekr 7X. A post above that average changes nothing; a post below it sets the pace.

Zeekr 7XCCS228min
Tesla Model YCCS230min

At 150 kW, going from 10% to 80% takes 30 min in the Tesla Model Y and 28 min in the Zeekr 7X — a gap of 2 minutes. The station is capping the quicker car here, so the gap is narrower than the peak figures suggest — at a faster post it widens again.

Every figure

The numbers, with the badge attached

A tick marks a figure that is simply more useful — more range, less energy per 100 km, a faster stop. Rows without a tick are different, not better: a bigger battery, a taller body and a heavier car are all trades, and this page does not pretend otherwise.

How to read the mixed rows. Range, efficiency, battery and charging come from one badge — the longest-range version of each car's current model year, not the longest range it has ever been rated at. The catalogue stores one record per badge, so where two figures come from different badges the row names the one it used.

What WLTP is not. It is a laboratory cycle at a fixed temperature, with the air conditioning off and a gentle acceleration profile. It exists so two cars can be compared on the same test, not so a driver can predict a highway run. Expect less on a 110 km/h trip, and less again in winter.

What this page does not claim. No ANCAP crash rating: the catalogue carries none, and a column of dashes would read like a failure rather than a gap. Prices are manufacturer list before on-road costs; the drive-away band appears only where the feed publishes one.

Your numbers

What this pair costs you, on your drive

Two questions decide most purchases: how often you stop, and what the year costs. Both are arithmetic on the figures above, so change the inputs and the answer changes with you.

The drive

Starts full, arrives at 10%, charges back to 80% at each stop, and assumes a highway range of 85% of the WLTP figure.

The year

Energy at the wheels from the WLTP label, priced at the tariff you pay. Home charging is usually cheaper than the directory's median.

no efficiency figure

The trip model ignores charger detours, queueing and the last 10% of the pack, which is slow on both cars. The yearly cost is energy only: no session fees, no idle fees, no home-charger installation, and no petrol car to compare against.

Your priorities

A verdict you can argue with

There is no single winner, only a winner for a set of priorities. Move the sliders and the weighting changes — nothing here is a magazine score, and the page never hides the numbers it is built from.

Weighted result

Tesla Model Y

wins 2 of 5 measures on these weights

Tesla Model Y50%
Zeekr 7X50%

Each measure is scaled between the two cars, so a weight of 5 means “this is the thing I care about” and 0 means “I do not care at all”. The scores are relative, not a rating out of ten.

Questions

Short answers, then the reasoning

Every figure here comes from the same data as the rest of the page. Where the data cannot answer, the page says so instead of guessing.

Still unsure about a term? The connector guide covers the plugs, and the vehicle guide the rest.

Which has more range, the Tesla Model Y or the Zeekr 7X?

The Tesla Model Y. The Tesla Model Y is rated 681 km and the Zeekr 7X 615, each on the longest-range badge of its current model year — MY26 L Premium Long Range AWD and MY25–MY26 Long Range respectively. WLTP is a laboratory cycle run at a fixed temperature with the air conditioning off, so treat the figure as a way to compare one car with another rather than a prediction for a highway run in summer.

Which charges faster?

The Zeekr 7X. Going from 10% to 80% takes 30 minutes in the Tesla Model Y (250 kW peak) and 16 in the Zeekr 7X (420 kW peak). At a slow post the station becomes the limit and the gap narrows, because the slower car is short of power rather than short of time.

Do they use the same plug?

Yes. Both list CCS2 for DC fast charging, so either car can use the same sites without an adapter. An adapter still cannot raise the power a car will accept.

Which has more space?

The Zeekr 7X: 420 L of luggage space against 539 L, and 6 seats against 5. Makers measure boot volume by different conventions — some to the window line, some under the parcel shelf — so read the direction as reliable and the size of the gap as indicative.

Which is cheaper to buy?

The Tesla Model Y is the cheaper of the two, listed from A$55,900 against A$57,900 for the Zeekr 7X — A$2,000 between the two starting prices. Both are manufacturer list prices before on-road costs, options and any incentive, so a dealer's drive-away number will differ.
