XPENG has moved its platform from bought-in silicon to its own driving chip in two years, and licenses the result to Volkswagen
SEPA 2.0, also called Fuyao, launched on the G6 in 2023 with cell-integrated body construction, front and rear castings and full-domain 800 V silicon carbide power electronics; XPENG says it reuses most components across models and shortens development time. X-EEA 3.0, first on the G9, splits the car into a central supercomputer and zonal controllers, which lets XPENG push updates to driving, chassis and cabin together. In 2025 the G7 Ultra replaced NVIDIA Orin X with three in-house Turing chips.
The models on SEPA 2.0 cover sedans, SUVs and an MPV: G6, G7, the second-generation P7, P7+, X9 and the low-cost MONA M03. All use 800 V; 5C charging on the newest packs adds most of a full charge in about 12 minutes on XPENG's own S5 chargers. Vehicles are built in Zhaoqing, Guangzhou and Wuhan, with Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria, assembling G6 and G9 for Europe since 2025.
Volkswagen bought about 5% of XPENG in 2024 and co-developed the China Electrical Architecture (CEA) with it; VW models built in China on CEA start in 2026, and VW has agreed to use Turing chips there. That makes XPENG one of two architecture suppliers to Volkswagen, alongside Rivian in the West. Range-extended Kunpeng models are outside this page. See Compute Platforms and the ADAS compute architecture page.
