How Long is the Battery Life of XPeng Motors?
2 Answers
Battery design life is 27 months. For general family use, which is relatively light, the battery of a new car can often last 3-4 years. However, after the first replacement, it usually needs to be replaced every 2 years. Battery maintenance methods: Frequent charging: Car batteries should be charged regularly. If left unused for a long time, the battery will slowly discharge on its own until it becomes unusable. Therefore, the car should be started periodically to charge the battery. Regular cleaning: Clean the battery terminals periodically and apply specialized grease to protect the wiring harness. Regularly inspect the battery accessories and connection lines. Avoid using electrical devices after turning off the engine: Using car electrical devices after the engine is turned off is prohibited. Running the battery alone without the engine generating power can cause damage to the battery.
I've been driving my XPeng for two to three years now, and battery lifespan is a common question. Generally, XPeng batteries are designed to last about 8 to 10 years, depending on how you use the car. Charging habits are key: I try to avoid using fast charging too much and keep the battery level between 30% and 80% to prevent overcharging or deep discharging, which helps extend battery life. Temperature also plays a role; in summer, I avoid parking the car under direct sunlight for long periods, as high temperatures can accelerate battery aging. The warranty covers 8 years or 160,000 kilometers, so it's not a big concern. However, frequent long-distance trips or aggressive acceleration might lead to earlier battery degradation. I recommend using the app to check battery health regularly—my capacity loss has been less than 5% in a year. Overall, with normal daily use, the battery should easily last over 8 years, and you can still get a good resale value when it's time to change cars.
