"Zeekr and Lynk & Co vehicles could be produced at the Volvo factory in South Carolina. The Chinese carmaking giant Geely Group is already present in the United States with its Volvo, Polestar, and Lotus brands, but it's looking to expand its presence in the near future. The company was present at CES 2026 with models from some of its other brands for journalists to examine, hinting that they could be offered here in the future."
"Some of the models brought to Las Vegas include the Zeekr 7X and Lynk & Co 08 midsize plug-in crossovers, which we've tested in Europe and were very impressed with. The former is an 800-volt EV with 400 kW charging and the latter (which is closely related to the Volvo XC70) is a big-battery plug-in hybrid with an electric range of up to 124 miles (200 km)."
Geely intends to enter the U.S. market with Zeekr and Lynk & Co within the next 24 to 36 months. Geely showcased several brand models at CES 2026, including the Zeekr 7X and Lynk & Co 08 midsize plug-in crossovers. The Zeekr 7X is an 800-volt EV offering 400 kW charging, while the Lynk & Co 08 is a large-battery plug-in hybrid with up to 124 miles (200 km) of electric range. Geely already operates in the U.S. with Volvo, Polestar, and Lotus. Tariffs on China-built cars create import barriers, so local assembly at Volvo’s Ridgeville, South Carolina plant is a likely route to market.
