Both Xiaopeng and Tesla, in addition to being on the product side, have opened another competition in overcharging layout.

    If you have really experienced an electric car currently on the market for a long time, you will understand why Tesla Model 3, Xiaopeng P7, and Weilai ES6 can get the most recognition. On the one hand, the three do have different advantages in terms of vehicle intelligence, assisted driving maturity, and driving texture. On the other hand, since the beginning of the brand establishment, the three new car companies have formulated a strategic route to build their own energy supplement system, which has obviously become the key to "breakthrough" from many competing products.

    After all, when an electric car that can only use a third-party app to connect to a social charging station is put together with an electric car that can use their own APP located in the brand's exclusive charging station to supplement energy, most people will not hesitate to choose. By. Therefore, for start-up companies that already have a first-mover advantage, continuing to expand their inherent energy supplement resources has become an equally important thing besides the effective introduction of new ones.

    Recently, according to Xiaopeng Motors' official announcement, starting from November 30, Xiaopeng Supercharge will add another 20 free charging cities. In addition to the 44 cities that have opened this business before, Xiaopeng Supercharge has launched free charging services in 64 cities in China, totaling 533 sites.

    The cities with the free supercharge service were selected by 3657 "Peng Friends", including: Cangzhou, Dalian, Nantong, Yantai, Sanya, Handan, Shaoxing, Zhenjiang, Zhumadian, Liuzhou, Ganzhou, Yangzhou, Yancheng, Guiyang , Huzhou, Wuhu, Taiyuan, Mianyang, Kaifeng, Langfang, a total of 20 cities.

    Moreover, it is reported that the lifetime free charging service promoted by Xiaopeng Supercharge is a comprehensive service system that includes self-built charging networks and third-party charging networks. In these cities, Xiaopeng car owners can also enjoy the lifetime free charging service provided by Xiaopeng Supercharge at the preferred stations of third-party charging network operators such as State Grid, China Southern Power Grid, Special Call, Star Charging, and Xiaoju Charging. .

    In contrast, as the P7's current most powerful competing model, the hot sales of Model 3 also put tremendous pressure on the former. In terms of the layout of supercharging stations, Tesla also recently announced that its 500th supercharging station in mainland China has been launched in Shanghai. According to official data, as of December last year, Tesla has built a total of 300 supercharge stations in more than 5 years, and since December last year, Tesla has built 200 new supercharge stations in nearly a year .

    In addition, news broke that Tesla plans to invest 42 million yuan in Shanghai to build a super charging pile factory that integrates R&D and production. The project is planned to be put into production in the first quarter of 2021, with an initial plan to produce 10,000 super charging piles (mainly V3 super charging piles) per year.

    Later, when participating in Tesla related activities this week, he asked Tao Lin, the vice president of external affairs, to verify the rumors. The latter replied: “The Tesla charging pile factory is currently in normal progress. It is used in the Chinese market. As for whether it will be exported to Europe or open to other models in the future, it has not yet been determined.” From this point of view, both Xiaopeng and Tesla, in addition to being on the product side, have already started their overcharge layout. Another competition.
