G9 Fast Charging Experience in New Car Experience
At home, there is a charging station with a 7kw AC charging pile, which is quite convenient. Reserving charging during off-peak hours costs only 0.38 yuan/kWh. During Spring Festival, I drove 300 kilometers on the highway, with 90% of the assistance from the driving assistance system, which solved my fatigue problem during long-distance driving. It was very easy to get home.
When fully charged, the G9 650max model has a WLTP full charge mileage of 519 kilometers. I arrived home with about 180 kilometers of remaining range. 60% of the high-speed journey was at a speed limit of 120 km/h, and the remaining distance was limited to between 110-100 km/h. After calculating, it was basically a 1:1 ratio of actual endurance.
On the second morning after arriving home, I went to the XPeng super charging station. Using an S2 fast charging pile, I was able to charge about 60 kWh in 30 minutes. It was quite fast and convenient. The charging power is shown in the following figure.
Conclusion: This electric vehicle trip was quite enjoyable, and it is indeed easier to use than my gasoline-powered car.
