The charging time for a Xpeng G3 varies depending on the situation: fast charging takes 0.63 hours; slow charging takes 4.3 hours. Taking the 2021 Xpeng G3 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4450mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1610mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2625mm and a curb weight of 1657kg. The 2021 Xpeng G3 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a total motor power of 145kW and a total motor torque of 300Nm, paired with a single-speed fixed gear ratio transmission.

I've been driving the XPeng G3 for almost a year now. Charging time mainly depends on whether you're using a home charging station or a fast charger outside. A 7kW home charger can basically fill it up overnight, taking about 8-10 hours, which is perfect for plugging in after work and using it the next day. If you're in a hurry, head to a supercharging station where a 120kW charger can take you from 30% to 80% in just half an hour—about the time it takes to have a meal. Just a heads-up: charging slows down a bit in cold winter temperatures, but preheating the battery with the APP can speed things up significantly. Battery lifespan also affects charging speed, so an older vehicle might need an extra half hour to fully charge.

As an experienced EV driver, I've tested the G3's charging: a full charge from empty takes about 9 hours with home slow charging, but who would completely drain the battery? When charging from 30% in daily use, it's fully charged by the time you wake up. Fast charging stations vary greatly - State Grid's common 60kW chargers take about 40 minutes to reach 80%, while XPeng's proprietary 90kW chargers are 5-8 minutes faster. Here's a tip: charging is fastest when the battery is below 50%, as the last 20% deliberately slows down to protect the battery, so there's no need to charge to full every time. For long trips, I recommend charging to 90% and then hitting the road to save time.

The charging time for the Xpeng G3 varies depending on the situation. For the standard version, using a 7kW home charging pile, it charges at a rate of 7 kWh per hour, taking approximately 9.5 hours to fully charge the 66 kWh battery pack. Fast charging stations are much more efficient, with a 30-minute charge providing 300 km of range, which is sufficient for several days. However, the exact time depends on the charging pile's power. A 50kW pile takes about 50 minutes to charge to 80%, while a 120kW pile reduces this to around 30 minutes. Battery temperature is also crucial; charging in an underground garage in summer is about 15% faster than charging outdoors in winter. For daily commuting, charging twice a week is sufficient, with each session taking 7-8 hours without affecting vehicle usage.
