Recently, XPeng Motors has adjusted their lifetime free charging policy:
- For G3/G3i/P7 owners who paid the deposit before July 31, 2021 (inclusive), they can still enjoy the lifetime free charging policy of 3,000 kWh per year.
- For G3/G3i/P7 owners who paid the deposit on or after August 1, 2021, they will have an annual free charging policy of only 1,000 kWh.
- As for the upcoming P5, the vehicle will immediately enjoy the lifetime free charging service of 3,000 kWh per year after delivery.
For the P7 and G3i with power consumption of 15-18 kWh/100km, 3,000 kWh of free charging means solving the range of 20,000 km, which can meet the annual driving needs of most users.
Moreover, based on the current cost of fast charging poles, which is generally around 1.5 yuan per kWh, the lifetime free charging policy of 3,000 kWh per year can save users around 4,500 yuan annually, which is a not insignificant car expense.
Currently, only the upcoming P5 retains this benefit. It can be seen that XPeng Motors is actively guiding everyone’s attention to their leading product, the P5, in terms of sales policies.
However, in my opinion, in addition to guiding everyone’s attention to the P5, the confidence brought by the gradually increasing sales volume of the P7 is also another important reason for XPeng’s change in free charging policy this time, which is similar to Tesla’s strategy of stimulating sales through free supercharging in 2020.
