Chinese EV maker Xpeng Motors has decided to select Zhongheng Electric as its high-power charging pile supplier after a review of the company’s quality assurance system, technology development, production capacity, and product price, Zhongheng Electric said.
Zhongheng is a first-tier supplier of DC charging piles in China and has previously entered into partnerships with many well-known companies, such as Royal Dutch Shell, BP plc, State Grid, XiaojuCharge.
It is worth noting that Zhongheng Chairman Zhu Guoding was reported by his classmate Zhang Haijun in 2011 for misappropriation of office and was criminally filed. Zhongheng, which was already listed at the time, did not disclose this matter, as reported by National Business Daily today.
Xpeng announced on December 29 that it is offering free lifetime charging to owners in 34 new cities, including Anyang, Fuyang, Nanyang, and Tangshan, bringing the number of cities where it offers the service to 100.
Xpeng began offering this free service on September 26, 2020, when Beijing became the first city to offer free lifetime charging to Xpeng owners.
This brings the number of cities where Xpeng Superchargers offer this service to 100, with a total of 670 Supercharging stations.
