Video Summary
Findings from the electric car review video:The reviewer's trip from Bremen to Düsseldorf and back covers about 600 km.
At 100% charge, the car initially estimated a range of 282 km.
The initial lower range estimate was due to the previous driving involving full-throttle at 212 km/h, with a consumption of 34 kWh.
The reviewer planned a stop at a fast-charging station before reaching the destination, aiming for at least 9 km of range upon arrival.
Overall, 418 km would have been the complete driving range.
The P7 has been a car that's highly equipped with numerous assistance systems and a panoramic glass roof.
Winter tires are on the car, in 245/19 size.
The battery has a net capacity of 82.7 kWh.
The official range is stated to be 505 km per WLTP.
Real-world range during the gig test on the highway was closer to 380 km.
There are a few downsides to the infotainment system: an EV charging station cannot be easily removed from the route and the car will only activate the charging once the user has pressed on a button.
The car has a dynamic range indicator influenced by past driving.
On the return trip, driven at 130 to 140 km/h with good weather and assistance systems activated, it achieved 417 km and 19.9 kWh per 100 km.
There are eight charging stalls there from EV and EWE Go charging stations.
At the charging station, charging happened at 177 kW for approximately 32 minutes, to get to around 80%.
It is confirmed that for G6 and G9 models there's a 800V architecture.
The test driver confirmed that he has had issues with the lane keep assistant running over the lane lines. In addition to this, the AC would suddenly turn itself back on.
When the driver got to his hotel, he still had about 28% charge and a total of 118 km to spare. This means he used about 35.4 kWh, with 19.9 kWh per 100 km. Overall, the P7 performs like a long-distance tourer.
The reviewer feels that the long-distance range of the XPeng P7 AWD Performance makes it akin to driving a combustion engine vehicle.
For many, including himself, battery preconditioning is preferred.
While he notes improvements in the new ID cars, VW cars that don't automatically precondition the batteries, have a range limited to only 300 km, according to the reviewer.
The electric vehicle is a coup-like limousine and has gotten attention on the road.
