Quick verdict
The XPENG G6 has the higher published DC fast-charging figure at 280 kW, while the Tesla Model Y is more efficient at approximately 165 Wh/km. The Tesla Model Y offers more WLTP rated range at 586 km.
Side-by-Side Specs
| Spec | Tesla Model Y | XPENG G6 |
|---|---|---|
| Compared variant | Long Range AWD | RWD Long Range |
| Battery (approx.) | ~75 kWh | ~80 kWh |
| WLTP range (rated) | ~586 km | ~520 km |
| Efficiency (approx.) | ~165 Wh/km | ~184 Wh/km |
| DC fast charging (published) | up to 250 kW | up to 280 kW |
| 10-80% charge time (approx.) | ~27 min | ~20 min |
| Max AC charging | up to 11 kW | up to 11 kW |
| DC connector | CCS2 | CCS2 |
Charging Speed
The XPENG G6 has the higher published DC fast-charging figure at 280 kW, which is roughly 12% higher than the Tesla Model Y at 250 kW. In practice, that figure 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 XPENG G6 finishes in about 20 minutes, which is 7 minutes quicker than the Tesla Model Y at 27 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Tesla Model Y has a WLTP rated range of approximately 586 km, which is roughly 66 km more than the XPENG G6 at approximately 520 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 Y consumes 165 Wh/km, compared to 184 Wh/km for the XPENG G6. That means the Tesla Model Y 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 Tesla Model Y has approximately 75 kWh of useable battery , while the XPENG G6 has approximately 80 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging is your priority, the XPENG G6 has the higher published DC figure (up to 280 kW) while matching the quickest published 10-80% time at approximately 20 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
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 Y is the more efficient choice at 165 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Tesla Model Y has a WLTP rated range of approximately 586 km, which is roughly 66 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
