XPENG P7 1st Drive in Shanghai | FULLY CHARGED for Clean Energy & Electric Vehicles

[@fullychargedshow]

LIKE if you could be tempted into buying XPENG's P7, and SHARE if you think this could be the 1st Chinese electric car to see success outside China. Full description below... In his 1st outing for Fully Charged, our East Asia correspondent, Elliot Richards, test drives the highly anticipated second EV from XPENG. Starting at £26k, could the P7 be the car that takes Chinese EVs to the next level? Driving the P7 on a test track and out on the streets, Elliot gives us the low down from Shanghai. For easy reference through each section of this episode, see *timestamps* below. *AND* if you are interested in finding out more about XPENG watch Robert interview their president, Dr Brian Gu - www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT6Nc...

[@joemacleod-iredale2888]

It won’t be £26k in Europe, but as long as it gets a decent euro ncap rating and proves reliable they’ll do well. It just needs to position its self carefully.

A welcome addition to the electrification of personal transportation. Tesla has no worries as their mission is clear, to accelerate the transition to sustainable solutions. By themselves, Tesla can’t fulfil the transportation requirements of the world for many more years so they need more companies to enter the market. Tesla will maintain a healthy leadership since they have achieved a treasure chest of data, brains and skills in their team. Their mission objectives are huge as nothing less than to provide a platform to change mankind’s destiny towards a better future. More people should contribute.

I had a 1 minute chat with G3 test driver in Guangzhou back in 2017. I said it’s a cute model X baby copy and he told me they will not target Tesla but will always make cars that are filling the void either above or below Tesla models. I was questioning about the weak point of Chinese cars, the materials quality, and he said: “Our company is backed by deep pockets so we can afford to make a quality car. By 2021 we will have a high class factory and a couple of models. These are export quality cars, you will see”. He let me have a look around and I couldn’t find anything bad to say, except it was a bit too small car (trunk) for me. I might have seen P7 model in Shenzhen but it didn’t have any badges, maybe it was a copy :-0 Very slick looking, not a BYD.

[@MattJelonek]

Hi Elliot, this is the first video I’ve watched of yours and new to this channel. Great insight into this brand of Chinese EV. Would love a bit more camera work or angles and know it might only just be you filming? When you were able to drive the car on the roads, your dialogue was great. On the test track not so much.

[@SWR112]

That’s a decent looking Car, build quality don’t have a clue but if good that would sell in Europe like hot cakes. South Korea with Hyundai do well in the U.K. because they nailed the build quality and sales grew through world of mouth because they were solid, comfortable and good value. Obviously they are copying the Model 3 and improving on it. It might not have the self driving but it looks almost a cheaper model S. Tesla hasn’t the competition yet from BMW, Audi, Marc and even VW and this has just added a bit more when it arrives in Europe. If China comes over here with shoddy build quality or problem Cars that image will stick and they will suffer but if they come here and nail the price, quality and tech then it’s game on. It can only bring the prices down. Will we ever see a decent build (Audi level) quality from Tesla probably in time, right now Tesla paint finish alone puts me off. Maybe Tesla Berlin will change everything on the quality front. Poor fitting rear seats in the Model Y and they haven’t got a fix yet for is incredible. So focused on numbers they cars are coming out with so many problems and sorry Elon it has to stop. Tesla needs to forget about x amount of cars fired out and be able to say X amount but actually built right.

[@yev6683]

There is a bit more to it with EVs.... KIA came and slotted into an existing infrastructure. For EVs there is no existing infrastructure unless you buy a Tesla. It's a lot harder to sell JUST a runabout/commute car that cant do roadtrips.

[@01bigtrev]

SWR years ago those cars were terrible cars. Over time they have become good quality cars. Just like Tesla and build quality it’s going to be hard from the start to get these out in big numbers.

[@DuvJones]

@@yev6683 True but quite a few Manufactures are cluing into that, which is why you see proliferation of CCS. Sure it's not at the point of the Supercharger network, and they know that.... but I think that you are going to see a lot more of them (since it's a multi-company effort) rather "soon".

[@Mixima101]

With that range, and if the price stays the same, this would sell super well in North America.

[@1001ewaste]

The South Korean car manufacturers made headway by improving their initially basic quality and providing much longer warranties to provide a bit of peace of mind to those willing to take a punt. They also had a period of actually honouring the warranties but that's tapered off a bit as they become a bit more established.

[@SMGJohn]

I always knew there was going to be some stuck up westerner trying to find some kind of flaw he can rave about because its a Chinese car, loose the attitude. There is one issue with Chinese cars, the crash tests but in recent tests at least from 2019, high end Chinese car from reputable Chinese car manufacturers did BETTER in crash tests than American brands did in the same price range. Ask yourself this, Chinese car manufacturing has not really been around for long, its 15 years old at best, before then they mostly assembled kit cars or still produced Soviet copies. But China has seem rapid improvements in build quality, performance, design and safety in fact a lot of Volvo safety features are being implemented in many Chinese cars now. China also arguably has the biggest electric car lineup which is why western companies are panicking. All China has to do, is to pass European crash test certifications and they are good to sell their cars for fraction of the price.

“Softest seats I’ve sat in in a Chinese electric car” is an odd way to put it, since few viewers have sat in Chinese electric cars.
