Xpeng wins ADAC 24h e-Competition at Hockenheimring
Xpeng took the plunge—and was rewarded: The ADAC 24h e-Competition endurance race (https://24ecompetition.com/) held as part of the e4-Testival is the acid test for electric cars: In four classes dependent on battery capacity, various fully electric production vehicles compete against each other. It's not just about speed but the perfect balance between charging times and driving behavior. Whoever completes the most laps on the Grand Prix circuit of the Hockenheimring within the competition time, triumphs.
The Xpeng P7 with start number 19 drove to the front. Piloted by the journalist specialized in electromobility Daniel Krenzer, Xpeng Germany's head of marketing Gordon Krug, and press chief Bernhard Voß, the sports sedan completed a total of 216 laps on the Hockenheimring. The average consumption was only 15.8 kWh per hour, which is less than the 16.8 kWh/100 km that Xpeng specifies according to WLTP.
The result is consistent with the VISION Mobility test
Interesting: Xpeng was also economical in the VISION Mobility test: We consumed around 20.5 kWh/100 km on our test lap with a high highway component in the G6 at a cool 12 degrees—albeit with the all-wheel-drive performance model. This model also proved to be economical on our 159-kilometer test tour.
For the total of 972 kilometers at the Hockenheimring, 15 hours, 41 minutes, and 58 seconds of pure driving time were needed according to Xpeng's press release. The race remained exciting until the last lap: Only shortly before the finish could Team XPeng Germany, with final driver Gordon Krug, overtake the direct competitor who was also driving in the same lap – probably also because the reserve of electrical energy was somewhat higher.
This not only earned Xpeng Germany the victory in the second-largest class C, where electric cars with a net maximum of 97 kWh high-voltage battery compete. In the overall ranking, the Chinese brand also ranks at the top: The second-placed team was 6.8 seconds slower.
What does that mean?
800-volt technology, clean workmanship, efficient drives: Xpeng is one of the most promising new entrants in the German market, as demonstrated at the ADAC 24h e-Competition at Hockenheimring. This is consistent with our test results.
