Xpeng now has more than 1,000 of self-operated charging stations in China, including 186 S4 ultra-fast charging stations.

Xpeng's charging network added 349 third-party charging stations in the first quarter, and they are able to serve the company's vehicle owners for free, the company said.

As of April 1, Xpeng's charging network had a cumulative total of more than 2,200 charging stations, including more than 1,000 that the company operates itself.

Xpeng said it will continue to expand its S4 ultra-fast charging network and expects to add about 500 S4 ultra-fast charging-capable stations in 2023.

The company completed its first S4 ultra-fast charging station on August 15, 2022, its 1,000th self-operated charging station.

The charging station has a maximum power of 480 kW, a maximum current of 670 A and a peak charging power of 400 kW.

Xpeng's flagship SUV, the G9, was able to get a CLTC range of 210 km in 5 minutes when using this S4 ultra-fast charging station, as shown in a real-world test displayed by the company.

For comparison, Tesla's V3 supercharger has a maximum power of 250 kW and a maximum current of 631 A, and can get a range of 150 km in as little as 5 minutes.

Xpeng expects to add more than 500 S4 ultra-fast charging stations in 2023, and the number will exceed 2,000 by 2025, the company said at its G9 launch event last September 21.
