Long Range and Ultra-fast Charging — How XPENG Solves Range Anxiety

XPENG: The Electric Vehicle with Best-in-Class Range and Ultra-fast Charging

The automotive market is evolving, and the demand for electric vehicles with longer range and fast charging continues to grow. XPENG addresses this demand with innovative models that combine both. Each premium SUV is equipped with the latest advances in battery technology and ultra-fast charging. Thanks to increased capacity and energy optimisation, these vehicles deliver remarkable performance. Discover the XPENG range that is revolutionising the industry, enabling long journeys without compromising on comfort.

An Expert in Premium Electric Vehicles

Among manufacturers, XPENG presents itself as a specialist in high-end electric vehicles. It stands out for its deep integration of advanced technologies and artificial intelligence. The brand offers models such as the New G6. All combine elegant design with high-power motors.

XPENG's expertise in autonomous driving translates into advanced driver assistance systems. An intuitive user interface relies on an intelligent voice assistant. Additionally, the XPENG app allows owners to remotely control various vehicle functions, including locking/unlocking and battery status monitoring, offering a connected and personalised experience.

Exceptional Range of XPENG SUV

Real-world range is an essential criterion for electric vehicle drivers, as it reduces anxiety about frequent charging. XPENG understands this well and offers models with high electric vehicle range.

XPENG New G6: This smart coupé SUV can reach 80.8 kWh for 535 km of WLTP range in the long-range version and 510 km in the performance version. Thanks to its 800V platform, it enables ultra-fast charging, going from 10% to 80% in under 12 minutes.

Ultra-fast Charging Thanks to the 800V Platform

XPENG electric vehicles offer a major innovation with the 800V platform. Particularly well-rated in tests, this system delivers exceptional charging speed.

With it, our electric SUVs make every journey much easier and more enjoyable, even over long distances. Stopping time is greatly optimised. In fact, charging from 10% to 80% takes 12 minutes with a 451kW or higher charger. This represents a genuine advancement for both daily use and travel.

Ultra-fast Charging Thanks to the LFP 5C Battery

The LFP 5C designation indicates two things:

• LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) is a battery chemistry renowned for its safety, thermal stability, durability (high cycle life), and tolerance to high temperatures, even if its energy density is slightly lower than other chemistries (such as NMC).
• 5C means the battery can be charged at a current equivalent to 5 times its rated capacity. Concretely, the New G6's 80.8 kWh battery could accept a charge at 451 kW (if the architecture and charger allow it). This enables high charging speeds while preserving durability through optimised thermal management.

This combination (LFP + 5C) enables fast, stable, and secure charging, with a relatively constant power curve up to around 80% state of charge — unlike some batteries with less robust chemistry where power drops sharply after 60%.

Charging Performance: 10% to 80% in 12 Minutes

In new-generation high-power charging stations (around 600V/800V or adaptable), a compatible vehicle can achieve a 10% to 80% charge in 12 minutes. This speed depends on the charger's output power and the vehicle's management system.

Even on a slightly less powerful charger (e.g. a conventional fast charger), an XPENG vehicle can charge to 80% in 12 minutes.

Ultra-fast charging relies on two key elements:

• Advanced thermal management: Relying on sophisticated liquid cooling to maintain the battery at an optimal temperature, improving both longevity and performance.

• Energy flow optimisation: Integration of silicon carbide components to reduce losses and increase energy efficiency.

Driving Conditions Affecting Electric Vehicle Range

While battery capacity is an essential criterion, driving habits are also important:

• High Speed: Driving at excessive speeds increases air resistance and reduces range. Maintaining a steady and moderate pace helps limit consumption.

• Aggressive Driving: Sudden accelerations and harsh braking place heavy demands on the battery. Smooth, anticipatory driving is recommended to maximise range.

• Extra Weight: An overloaded vehicle consumes more energy. Limiting unnecessary loads is advised for better efficiency.

• Air Conditioning and Heating: Intensive use significantly reduces range. Activating eco modes and favouring ventilation helps save battery power.

• Extreme Weather: In both winter and summer, battery performance is affected. Adapting your driving and planning more frequent charging stops is helpful for long journeys.

Other Advantages of XPENG SUV

XPENG SUV also stand out for their premium finishes and high level of safety.

• Equipment is carefully selected, including Michelin tyres, Saint-Gobain anti-UV glass roof, and ventilated seats.

• Enhanced safety has achieved a 5-star Euro NCAP rating for the New G6.

• Gigacasting technology creates an ultra-rigid monobloc structure, enhancing robustness.

XPENG is redefining the standards of electric mobility, combining extended range, ultra-fast charging, and technological innovations. Through vehicles designed to maximise efficiency and comfort, the brand offers a high-performance and accessible alternative for discerning drivers. Come and discover our premium SUV to enjoy smarter driving and optimal comfort.
