XPENG Expands Charging Network in Southeast Asia with Charge Plus Partnership

XPENG has announced a major step forward in its charging infrastructure across the Asia-Pacific region. The company’s partnership with Charge Plus will give XPENG drivers access to over 3,800 charging piles in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, as well as stations spanning 5,000km of highways that connect five countries: Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia.

This marks the first time a Chinese emerging EV brand has collaborated with Charge Plus in Southeast Asia.

Through this cooperation, XPENG vehicles such as the G6, G9, and X9—all of which use an 800V fast-charging platform—will have expanded coverage along key routes, including the entire north-south expressway network in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. In Singapore, the network includes the country’s largest public charging system, which holds more than 30% of the market.

The first XPENG and Charge Plus co-branded charging stations are already operational in major cities across Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. XPENG owners using these stations will receive exclusive benefits, including charging discounts by the end of 2025. Real-time station information will also be integrated into XPENG’s in-car displays, allowing drivers to check availability and navigate to stations directly.

XPENG and Charge Plus intend to expand the partnership further, exploring new customer benefits and developing additional intelligent charging services. The goal is to build a seamless, interconnected charging experience across Southeast Asia that complements XPENG’s global network of more than 2.4 million charging piles spanning Europe and Asia-Pacific.

A key model supported by this network is the new XPENG G6, built on the company’s next-generation full-domain 800V platform. Every variant comes with the 5C Supercharging AI Battery, capable of charging from 10% to 80% in 12 minutes at a peak rate of 451 kW. For comparison, most current EVs need 13 to 24 minutes for the same cycle. The G6 also records a class-leading energy consumption rate of 15.6 kWh/100 km. Its battery uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, avoiding rare earth minerals while maintaining high efficiency.

Looking ahead, XPENG plans to introduce a “drive-in, charge & go” system by the end of 2025. This will integrate charging, navigation, and one-stop payment into the XPENG app, streamlining the entire charging process for owners.

By combining advanced charging technology with a broader infrastructure, XPENG is positioning itself to make long-distance EV use more practical across Southeast Asia while strengthening its global presence in electric mobility.
