Can other new energy vehicles charge at XPeng charging stations?
1 Answers
Other vehicles can charge at XPeng charging stations. XPeng's charging piles are compatible with other vehicle models. The compatible models and factors affecting charging duration are as follows: Compatible models for charging piles: Currently, XPeng, NIO, Tesla, and BYD have all built their own charging stations. Except for Tesla, the charging piles of the other three brands are compatible with other vehicle models. Tesla's incompatibility is due to its supercharging piles performing vehicle identification during charging; if a non-Tesla vehicle is detected, the charging pile will not supply power. In contrast, NIO, BYD, and XPeng's charging piles do not perform identification, making them universally compatible. Factors affecting charging duration: How long it takes to charge at XPeng depends on the vehicle's battery capacity and charging power. Additionally, charging power is affected by temperature; when the temperature is low, the charging speed will slow down. The main reason is that when the vehicle detects the battery is in a low-temperature state, it will preheat the battery pack before formal charging, usually taking about 15-20 minutes. Therefore, charging time in winter will be slightly slower than in summer.
