Volkswagen and Xpeng have announced a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing the electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure in China. The collaboration, formalized through a memorandum of understanding, will focus on developing co-branded super-fast charging stations and integrating their charging networks for mutual customer access.

Volkswagen has ramped up its focus on China via an investment in Xpeng and an aggressive electric vehicle launch schedule.

Xpeng and Volkswagen are deepening their ties in China with the construction of a large super-fast charging network across the nation. The network will include more than 20,000 chargers across 420 cities and, in the future, could grow to include co-branded charging stations.

China's Xpeng Motors and Volkswagen have agreed to expand their partnership to cooperate on ultra-fast electric vehicle charging networks in China, the automakers said on Monday.

German automaker Volkswagen and Chinese electric car firm Xpeng announced Monday plans to expand new super-fast charging stations across China, opening their networks to each other.
