Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Xpeng has entered a strategic partnership with Plugsurfing, providing its European customers with access to more than 940,000 public charging points across 27 countries.
The collaboration leverages Plugsurfing’s aggregated charging infrastructure, which includes services from around 500 charge point operators. Xpeng is integrating Plugsurfing’s Drive API into its vehicle systems and mobile app, allowing real-time station data, pricing information, remote charging control, and payment functionality.

Xpeng said the charging features are fully embedded into its in-car interface and app, offering users access to detailed station data such as connector types, power levels, availability, and pricing. The system also includes smart filtering, route planning for long-distance trips, and voice-enabled station search to align with local driving needs.
“Existing Xpeng customers only need to register once in the app by entering an email address and credit card details to immediately access this feature,” the company stated. Users can also request a complimentary charging card for broader access across the network.

The agreement supports Xpeng’s continued expansion in Europe, where it has been active since launching in Norway in 2021. The company currently operates in markets including Germany, France, the UK, and several Nordic countries, with further expansion planned for Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
Xpeng’s product line in Europe includes the P7 sedan, G9 SUV, and G6 SUV coupé. The automaker aims to localise the EV experience through regional partnerships and expects to be active in over 60 global markets by the end of 2025, with overseas markets contributing half of its total sales.
