Both cars peak at 175 kW DC charging. The Tesla Model 3 is more efficient at 147 Wh/km. The XPENG P7 offers more WLTP rated range at 580 km.

Side-by-Side Specs

Spec Tesla Model 3 XPENG P7
Battery (approx.) ~57.5 kWh ~83 kWh
WLTP range (rated) ~513 km ~580 km
Efficiency (approx.) ~147 Wh/km ~167 Wh/km
Max DC charging up to 175 kW up to 175 kW
10-80% charge time (approx.) ~24 min ~28 min
Max AC charging up to 11 kW up to 11 kW
DC connector CCS2 CCS2

Charging Speed

The XPENG P7 has a peak DC charging speed of 175 kW, which is comparable to the Tesla Model 3 at 175 kW. In practice, peak speed only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Tesla Model 3 finishes in about 24 minutes, which is 4 minutes quicker than the XPENG P7 at 28 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The XPENG P7 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 580 km, which is roughly 67 km more than the Tesla Model 3 at approximately 513 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Tesla Model 3 consumes 147 Wh/km, compared to 167 Wh/km for the XPENG P7. That means the Tesla Model 3 uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The XPENG P7 has approximately 83 kWh of useable battery , while the Tesla Model 3 has approximately 57.5 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

Both cars offer similar DC fast charging at 175 kW peak. For road trips, the one with more range between stops may be more practical.

Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Tesla Model 3 is the more efficient choice at 147 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the XPENG P7 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 580 km, which is roughly 67 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
