XPeng is also quickly increasing its ultra-fast charging infrastructure in China, with plans to upgrade 180 of its supercharging stations to 480kW ultra-fast charging capability. With all these features and more, the P7i is sure to be a hit in the Chinese market. Whether it will give XPeng the sales boost they need remains to be seen.
