XPeng Introduces 480 kW S4 Ultra-Fast Charger
The company demonstrated replenishing 210 km (131 miles) of CLTC range in 5 minutes.
On its eighth anniversary, XPeng introduced in China its all-new ultra-fast charging solution, which is expected to significantly reduce the charging time.
XPeng's new S4 ultra-fast charger, first announced in late 2021, is an 800 volt class EV charger with a peak power output of 480 kW (at up to 670 A and at over 700 V).
In its presentation, XPeng showed an example charging session of its recently launched XPeng G9 model. The XPeng G9 is the first model that can utilize most of the potential of the new charger.
According to the video, the car replenished about 210 km (131 miles) of CLTC range in just 5 minutes, charging from a very low state-of-charge (SOC) to about 40% SOC.
Initially, the session started at over 150 kW (at over 640 V). In a few steps, the charging power increased to over 400 kW within roughly 1 minute. A level of more than 440 kW was reached after 3 and a half minutes (at roughly 700 V).
