2017 Zero DS ZF6.5
T newhe DS ZF6.5 comes equipped with a smaller, 6.5kWh (5.7kWh nominal) battery. Zero’s S/DS platform utilizes a permanent battery comprised of either three or four power packs, depending on the power output the customer desires (a power pack being an individual, modular battery seen on the Zero FX/FXS). The final arrangement of power packs that is then fitted to the S/DS is then colloquially called a “monolith.”
