The XPeng G9 is China’s first electric SUV that is built on the 800V high-voltage SiC platform. It promises a total range of 200km after just 5 minutes of charge. That time won’t get it to 100% but can deliver a 200km range, meaning that this vehicle is one of the world’s fastest charging EVs.
The maximum range of this vehicle is 702km on a single full charge, which is very impressive. Comparing this with the information above, this SUV will charge up in about 18 minutes. We will give a full update on the abilities and pricing of this vehicle once it launches in August.
