Recently, there has been a lot of attention about the phenomenon that the owners of extended-range electric vehicles are more inclined to use electric drives in urban driving. Gu Jie, general manager of Xpeng Motors' power center, expressed his opinion on this, revealing the reasons behind it.

Gu Jie pointed out that Xpeng Motors has been deeply rooted in the field of pure electric vehicles since its inception, and knows that in China, electricity has a significant cost advantage over fuel. He humorously explained that many owners of extended-range electric vehicles are still willing to choose electric drive even in the face of limited pure electric range, such as 250 to 0 km, which is largely due to economic considerations. Although they are fully capable of paying for fuel, they still prefer to meet the needs of daily vehicles with more refined product solutions to achieve energy saving and consumption reduction.

Based on this insight, Xpeng Motors conducted an in-depth market survey and concluded that in the future, it is necessary to further improve the pure electric range and solve the charging needs of users. Gu Jie emphasized that the implementation of this strategy is crucial to improving the user experience.

When talking about the technical advantages of Xpeng Motors, Gu Jie proudly said that Xpeng has actively promoted the application of AI technology across all employees, especially in the field of autonomous driving and advanced assisted driving. The algorithms and computing power in these scenarios not only bring significant advantages to the autonomous driving department, but also provide strong technical support for non-autonomous driving departments such as powertrain, Internet, and automotive technology.

He further explained that Xpeng Motors has a strong computing power foundation and massive data, which enables the company to carry out in-depth algorithm optimization and model iteration in multiple fields such as powertrain and chassis. This data-based rapid optimization capability is a major competitive advantage for Xpeng Motors compared with traditional Tier1 suppliers, which often find it difficult to achieve closed-loop optimization of algorithms due to lack of data and computing power.

Gu Jie's speech not only demonstrated Xpeng's profound heritage in the field of electric vehicles, but also revealed its forward-looking and innovative nature in the application of AI technology. This series of measures will undoubtedly further enhance the market competitiveness of Xpeng Motors and bring users a more intelligent and efficient travel experience.
