XPeng P7 Sets EV Endurance Record With Nearly 4,000 Km In 24 Hours

Chinese EV maker Xpeng has claimed a major milestone with its newly unveiled P7 electric sedan, completing almost 4,000 kilometres in a 24-hour test and setting a new global endurance record for a pure electric vehicle.

The company revealed that the test was conducted at a circuit in Changchun, Jilin Province, where the P7 covered 3,961 km in a single day under third-party verification. The result demonstrates the car’s efficiency and fast-charging capability, both key factors in long-distance EV travel.

Overcoming Weather and Showcasing Efficiency

Xpeng said the initial attempt at the challenge had to be abandoned due to heavy rain and flooding on the track. The second test went ahead with multiple fast-charging sessions, which highlighted the advantages of the car’s 800 V high-voltage platform.

The P7’s aerodynamic design and robust thermal management system helped it maintain efficiency across the 24-hour period. At one point, the car also reached speeds of over 210 km/h on the track, showcasing its performance credentials.
