The battle for the electric car between Europe and China has seen another chapter with the new Xpeng P7+, a luxury electric sedan manufactured (or rather assembled) at the brand's plant in Graz, Austria, which is 5.07 meters long and costs 45,990 euros, not including promotional discounts and institutional aid.In return, Xpeng offers a vehicle with rear-wheel drive versions and power outputs of 245 or 313 HP, and ranges of 450 and 530 kilometers respectively, and an all-wheel drive version with two motors that offers 503 HP and a range exceeding 500 kilometers. Up to this point, this Xpeng P7+ does not offer any particularly relevant element that serves as a differentiating factor from its competitors BMW i5, Volvo ES90, or Lexus ES, among others.The differentiating element of this Chinese electric sedan is its ultra-fast charging capacity of up to 446 kW for the higher-end versions, which allows the vehicle to be charged from 10% to 80% in just 12 minutes, a possibility that brings it very close to any combustion model. However, it will be complicated to find a charging point that offers such high charging powers and, therefore, this technical possibility seems impractical in the current ecosystem of fast charging points.

For some years now, Chinese brands have been landing in Europe. Unlike traditional manufacturers from the Old Continent and the United States, Chinese brands are relatively unknown in the West, so the large industrial conglomerates of the Asian giant have chosen to acquire names from traditional European manufacturers to revive them and revive the former splendor of their name, as in the case of the brand. On other occasions, however, Chinese brands propose new names with local reminiscences, as in the case of Ebro, or directly imported from China, as in the case of Omoda or BYD.
