Does Xpeng Motors Offer Free Battery Replacement?
2 Answers
Xpeng Motors does not offer free battery replacement. Taking the Xpeng P5 as an example, here is a detailed introduction about the Xpeng P5: Overview: The Xpeng P5 is the third mass-produced model launched by Xpeng Motors, equipped with 32 perception sensors, featuring the XPILOT 3.5 autonomous driving assistance system, and supporting the City NGP function. On September 15, 2021, the Xpeng P5 was officially launched for sale. Others: The Xpeng P5 has a vehicle length of 4808mm, a wheelbase of 2768mm, and an NEDC comprehensive range of 600km. The front of the vehicle features an active air intake grille and hidden retractable electric door handles, with an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.223 for the entire vehicle.
As a XPeng owner for nearly two years, I often think about this issue. Free battery replacement is indeed possible, but only within the warranty period and subject to specific conditions. The new car purchase contract includes a lifetime battery warranty promise, provided the vehicle is used normally without accidents or modifications causing damage. If the battery capacity drops below 80% or there's internal failure not caused by human factors, the manufacturer will replace it for free. I remember during my last service center visit, the technician confirmed eligibility after inspection and replaced it under warranty. However, accident or water damage cases would require out-of-pocket payment. I recommend monitoring battery health regularly, avoiding abnormal voltage discharge - the XPeng APP allows status tracking. This way you can drive worry-free without extra repair costs, being both eco-friendly and economical. Overall, the free policy is quite user-friendly, encouraging wider adoption of new energy vehicles.
