Over 20,000 charging piles operated by both parties across 420 cities in China will be accessible to customers of both XPENG and Volkswagen Group China.

The partners say that combining their technological advantages in high-power liquid-cooled super-fast charging as well as the broad and complementary coverage of both parties in China, means customers will be able to have a superior fast charging experience across China.

The collaboration will also extend to the future possibility of building co-branded super-fast charging stations in China, to further accelerate the charging network expansion and improve operational efficiency.

This strategic collaboration marks the fourth milestone in the long-term strategic partnership between XPENG and Volkswagen Group. In 2023 Volkswagen Group invested around US$700m into XPENG.

Both parties say they plan to explore further strategic collaboration opportunities, broadening technology collaborations, and strengthening the strategic partnership.
