Can Tesla Charge at XPeng Supercharging Stations?
2 Answers
XPeng Supercharging Stations can charge Tesla vehicles. Charging Pile Compatibility: XPeng's supercharging piles do not perform vehicle identification, so they can charge Tesla vehicles. However, Tesla supercharging piles cannot charge XPeng vehicles because Tesla supercharging piles perform vehicle identification during charging. If a non-Tesla vehicle is detected, the charging pile will not supply power. Charging Performance for Tesla at XPeng Supercharging Stations: Tesla's onboard charger supports high-power charging. At XPeng supercharging piles, the stabilized charging voltage is approximately 335V, the charging current is about 242A, and the charging power is around 81KW, providing an hourly range increase of 278km.
From a technical perspective, XPeng's supercharging stations do support charging Tesla vehicles. Tesla has its own charging port standard, but many third-party fast-charging stations like XPeng are compatible with the international CCS standard. Last time I drove my Tesla past a shopping mall, there happened to be many available spots at an XPeng Supercharger. I used the onboard adapter to convert the interface, and the charging started quickly after plugging in, reaching a power of up to 100kW, which saves half the time compared to home charging. However, not all XPeng stations are compatible, so it's necessary to check the compatibility list on the app or official website in advance, as some stations are exclusively for their own vehicles. It's advisable to always carry an adapter to avoid unexpected issues. Tesla owners shouldn't worry; compatibility is quite common. As long as the operation is correct, there are no major problems, and it can also save some money by providing more charging options.
