Xpeng's charging network has complete coverage of the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway and the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, two of the most used expressways in China.

By the end of September, Xpeng branded supercharging stations reached 439. If added to the third-party supercharging stations, Xpeng has 1,648 stations offering a certain amount of free charging service to users.

Xpeng and its local counterpart Nio are currently the most aggressive among Chinese EV companies in building replenishment facilities along highways.

Nio announced late last month that it will complete a battery swap network covering eight major highways and four densely populated metropolitan areas by the Chinese New Year in 2022.

William Li, founder, chairman and CEO of Nio, said the company plans to increase the number of battery swap stations along the highways to 169 by the Chinese New Year which falls on February 1.

According to Nio's plan, the company hopes to have five battery swap networks along north-south highways and three battery swap networks along east-west highways by then.

According to CnEVPost data, as of October 27, Nio had 567 battery swap stations, 118 of which are located along highways. It also has 406 supercharging stations providing 2,458 charging posts and 556 destination charging stations providing 3,095 charging posts.
