Can Used Xpeng Cars Enjoy Free Charging?
3 Answers
Used Xpeng cars cannot enjoy free charging. Here are some considerations when purchasing a used car: 1. Documentation: Verify the authenticity and completeness of the vehicle's documents. Ensure the engine number and chassis number on the documents match those on the vehicle, check if the vehicle can be transferred, and confirm there are no issues like mortgages, court seizures, financial disputes, unresolved traffic violations, or expired inspections and insurance. Also, check if there are any specific local requirements for transferring corporate-owned vehicles. 2. Vehicle Condition: Be cautious with vehicles in poor condition, no matter how cheap they are. After identifying your ideal model, if your budget allows, try to choose a vehicle with a more recent manufacturing year.
Last time I bought a used Xpeng P7, and I was also curious about the free charging thing. Turns out, no luck! Xpeng's free charging benefits for new cars, like the Super Charging Plan, are usually only tied to the first owner's registered app account. After the car is transferred to a new owner, the new owner has to register the app from scratch, and the free charging quota is reset to zero. Now I pay for charging out of my own pocket, but luckily the used price was tens of thousands cheaper than a new one, so the money saved is more than enough to cover the charging costs. When buying, I suggest checking the original owner's app binding history—don't count on free charging. However, Xpeng occasionally runs promotions at some city charging stations where you can snag discounts, but using a home charger is usually more cost-effective.
As a Xpeng fan, I've test-driven several used Model G3s. Free charging? Forget about it! That perk only comes with new cars, tied to the owner's identity. When you buy a used one, you have to create a new APP account, and the free privileges disappear. This is great for young people—buying at a low second-hand price saves enough money to cover several years of driving, with charging costs being just a small expense of one or two hundred bucks per month. I must remind you to ask the seller if the account can be transferred before purchasing—usually, it can't. Some public charging stations have free periods you can use, but they're not exclusive to Xpeng. The coolest thing about buying used is the cost-performance ratio—don't let minor charging issues spoil the fun.
