Xpeng, the Chinese electric vehicle brand leading in Artificial Intelligence mobility and high technology, has announced a partnership with Plugsurfing, one of the largest electric vehicle charging service companies in Europe.
The advantage of this partnership, announced by Xpeng’s president and CEO, He Xiaopeng, during the “Global Brand Night” held in Hong Kong, is to allow customers of the Chinese brand to access a complete and integrated electric vehicle experience through Xpeng, which includes navigation and payment with just one click.
As a result, customers of Xpeng electric vehicles now have a wider choice of public charging networks in Europe. By integrating the Plugsurfing platform directly into Xpeng’s infotainment system, brand customers can search for and navigate to charging stations through the vehicle’s touchscreen. The interface displays important information such as the distance to charging points, the number of chargers, charging power, and price, thus facilitating the search for the most suitable option anywhere.
It is worth noting that Plugsurfing aggregates 500 leading charging station operators in the European Union, offering over 940,000 charging points in 27 European countries, currently covering more than 85% of the public electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Europe.
The agreement with Plugsurfing allows Xpeng users to pay only the actual costs of electricity and parking, without additional fees. Please note that in Portugal, the Plugsurfing charging network is not yet available.
