Xpeng and Plugsurfing expand EV charging network
Xpeng has partnered with Plugsurfing, an European EV charging service provider, to offer its customers access to an extensive charging network. The collaboration, unveiled by Xpeng chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng during the 'Global Brand Night' in Hong Kong, enables the company's users to leverage over 940,000 charging points across 27 countries. The partnership with Plugsurfing aggregates 500 charge point operators in the EU, providing Xpeng customers with an advanced charging network. Plugsurfing's coverage spans more than 85% of Europe's public charging infrastructure, with plans for further expansion. Xpeng's integration of Plugsurfing's Drive API into its in-car system and app ensures a seamless charging experience, including real-time station data, pricing, and remote charging capabilities. Xpeng has tailored the user experience to meet European drivers' needs, with features such as smart filtering, long-distance trip planning, and voice search. The vehicle's touchscreen interface allows users to easily find and navigate to charging stations, displaying essential information like connector availability, charging power, and costs. The charging process, from initiation to payment, is streamlined through the Xpeng app or a Plugsurfing charging card. New Xpeng owners receive a complimentary charging card for immediate network access, and existing customers can register in the app with an email and credit card. The Plugsurfing agreement ensures users are billed only for actual electricity and parking costs, without additional fees. Also, Xpeng has expanded into the Polish market last month, launching three electric vehicles: the G9 SUV, the G6 coupe SUV, and the P7 sedan. Xpeng also plans to expand its XP Supercharging network outside mainland China by 2025, starting with installations at Hong Kong's Lai Sun Commercial Centre and Convention Plaza.

Xpeng G9 2025 edition displayed at Auto Shanghai 2025
Xpeng displayed the 2025 iteration of its flagship electric SUV, the G9, at the Auto Shanghai 2025, showcasing a total of 66 enhancements over its predecessor. According to Xpeng chairman He Xiaopeng, the updated model is anchored by the introduction of the brand's next-generation Turing AI intelligent driving system – an innovation that eliminates the need for LiDAR and significantly enhances autonomous driving capabilities. The new G9 retains the foundational design of the current model, continuing with the X Robot Face 3.0 styling language. The SUV measures 4,891 mm in length, 1,937 mm in width, and 1,680 mm in height, while maintaining a wheelbase of 2,998 mm, making it slightly bigger than the Xpeng G6 that we have in our Malaysian market. Aesthetic updates include new electric suction doors, an automatic tailgate, and updated 20-inch five-spoke alloy wheels. Xpeng will also offer a special 'Black Warrior' edition, finished entirely in black, including blacked-out rims, emblems, and fenders, to cater to buyers seeking a more aggressive appearance. The 2025 G9 is equipped with Xpeng's proprietary Turing AI driving system, which replaces LiDAR with a sensor suite comprising 11 cameras, three millimetre-wave radars, and 12 ultrasonic sensors. This setup reportedly increases visual perception distance by 125% compared to the previous system, while improving object recognition speed by 40%. Both stationary and moving obstacles can be identified with high precision, marking a leap forward in autonomous functionality. The updated G9 offers both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) variants. The RWD version now delivers 346hp and 465Nm of torque. The AWD model adds a front motor producing 221hp, bringing the total system output to 567hp and 695Nm of torque. Both configurations are powered by a newly developed 5C AI battery system, an 800V high-voltage silicon carbide (SiC) platform, and the S5 liquid-cooled supercharging system for rapid charging performance. Battery options include 79 kWh and 93.1 kWh packs, offering China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC) ranges of 625km, 680km, and up to 725km. These figures represent modest improvements over the 2024 G9, which had claimed ranges of 570km, 650km, and 702km, respectively. Suspension updates feature a front double-wishbone layout and a rear five-link configuration, designed to enhance both handling and ride comfort. The vehicle also supports nine driving modes, tailored to varying road conditions and driver preferences. Inside, the G9 continues to offer a high-tech and luxurious cabin experience. Buyers can choose from new interior colour schemes such as Morning Glory Brown, Elegant Grey, and a fresh Moon Shadow Coffee finish. The familiar three-screen layout remains, consisting of a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster flanked by dual 14.96-inch infotainment displays. All are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip, enabling advanced features such as 5G connectivity, multi-screen interaction, cross-device app projection, and over-the-air (OTA) software updates. With its substantial technological and performance upgrades, the 2025 Xpeng G9 reinforces the company's ambition to compete at the forefront of the premium electric SUV segment, both in China and globally.

XPeng sees better-than-expected quarterly revenue on new markets, cheaper SUVs
(Reuters) - Chinese electric vehicle maker XPeng on Tuesday forecast first-quarter revenue above estimates, betting on the launch of its lower-priced G6 and G9 SUV models as well as its foray into European markets. China has a hyper-competitive EV market where carmakers try to undercut the competition by offering a bevy of features at a much lower cost than their Western counterparts. XPeng forecast first-quarter revenue of 15 billion yuan to 15.7 billion yuan, the midpoint of which is above analysts' average estimate of 14.86 billion yuan, according to data compiled by LSEG. The Guangzhou-based company expects to deliver between 91,000 and 93,000 vehicles in the first quarter, which is about 317% to 326.2% higher than a year ago. Earlier this month, XPeng revealed its refreshed G6 and G9 SUVs at prices lower than their previous models. The new G6 starts at 176,800 yuan ($24,402), 11.6% lower than its predecessor, while the starting price of the G9 is 5.7% lower at 248,800 yuan, XPeng Chairman He Xiaopeng said at a press conference. Both models are equipped with the proprietary Turing AI smart driving system without an extra charge, Xiaopeng said. The company also signed agreements with distributors Inchcape and Hedin in Europe this month to enter the Polish, Swiss, Czech and Slovak markets. XPeng is expected to break even sometime later in 2025, President Brian Gu had said in an interview with Reuters in November. The company delivered 91,507 vehicles in the fourth quarter, up 52.1% from a year ago. Revenue for the quarter ended December 31 was 16.11 billion yuan, beating estimates of about 16.02 billion yuan.
