While Xpeng CEO is excited about the upcoming start of laying out more powerful supercharging piles, WM Motor's helmsman is pouring cold water on it.

Interesting to note that just a week ago, on June 14, Xpeng's chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng said on Weibo that the electric vehicle experience will see disruptive changes in the near future as ultra-fast charging technology is put into mass use.

He said Xpeng will start putting a new generation of superchargers into service later this year, which are four times faster than the supercharging piles currently available on the market and 12 times faster than mainstream charging piles.

They will allow vehicles to get up to 200 kilometers in as little as five minutes of charging time and charge the battery from 10 percent to 80 percent in 12 minutes.

"We will complete the layout of the new supercharging stations in the country's major highways and along their routes as soon as possible after that," He said.

The Xpeng CEO did not directly mention 800V at the time, but his description clearly referred to the technology.

Xpeng officially announced the G9 SUV at the Guangzhou auto show last November 19.

The Xpeng G9 is China's first production vehicle based on the 800V high-voltage SiC platform and can get a range of more than 200 kilometers on a five-minute charge, the company said at the time.
