Insights
XPENG's Plugsurfing partnership gives it access to 940,000+ charging points across 27 European countries, significantly strengthening its competitive position.
XPENG's new partnership with Plugsurfing represents a significant enhancement to its European expansion strategy. By securing access to over 940,000 charging stations across 27 countries (covering 85% of Europe's public charging infrastructure), XPENG addresses one of the primary barriers to EV adoption: charging anxiety.
The implementation through Plugsurfing's Drive API enables XPENG to offer sophisticated features critical for European consumers: real-time charging point availability, transparent pricing information, seamless payment processing, and receipt generation. Most importantly, XPENG has customized this solution with region-specific features like smart filtering and long-distance trip planning.
This partnership arrives at a strategic moment as XPENG continues its European market penetration, now operating in 16 European countries with plans to expand into four more (Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia). The charging network integration creates a transcontinental charging ecosystem linking Europe and Asia, positioning XPENG uniquely among Chinese EV manufacturers.
The no-additional-fee structure for charging (customers pay only for electricity and parking) demonstrates a consumer-friendly approach that contrasts with competitors who often add surcharges for network access. This implementation shows XPENG is prioritizing the total ownership experience rather than seeking additional revenue streams from charging services.
For investors, this partnership strengthens XPENG's competitive position in Europe's crowded EV market by addressing a critical infrastructure need that smaller manufacturers struggle to solve independently. The seamless integration with both in-car systems and the XPENG app creates a cohesive ecosystem that enhances customer retention potential.

Plugsurfing provides XPENG with its product, the Drive API (Application Programming Interface), to integrate charging station data, including real-time availability, pricing, remote charging start/stop, card-based initiation, payment, and receipt generation.
While leveraging Plugsurfing's robust API, XPENG has independently crafted and optimized the user experience to better serve European drivers. Features such as smart filtering, long-distance trip planning, and voice search are tailored to local needs, with continuous updates based on evolving travel habits.
XPENG customers can easily search for and navigate to charging stations via the vehicle's touchscreen. The interface displays key information such as the distance to the charging points, the number of charging connectors, charging power, and pricing – making it easy to find the most suitable option on the go.
Once at the charging station, from initiation to payment and receipt, the EV charging process can be completed smoothly using the XPENG app or a Plugsurfing charging card. 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. New XPENG owners also receive a complimentary charging card, which can be used to access any station within the Plugsurfing network.
In line with the Plugsurfing agreement, users are only billed for actual electricity and parking costs, with no additional fees.
