XPeng partnered with Ant International’s Antom to launch an integrated charging payment service in Hong Kong on Monday, the first rollout of a global collaboration announced last year.
As of January, the Chinese carmaker’s global charging network covers 31 countries and regions, connecting more than 2.66 million charging piles.
The Guangzhou-based automaker and the payment and digitization services provider under Ant International “established a global partnership in the second half of 2025.”
Under the cooperation, Antom serves as XPeng‘s first global payment partner for its charging business, marking XPeng as the first Chinese new-generation EV manufacturer to collaborate with Antom.
The provider’s “tailored payment solution” integrates global credit cards and a wide variety of local alternative payment methods, including AlipayHK, into the XPeng app.
Antom’s platform supports over 300 payment methods across more than 200 markets and accepts over 100 currencies.
With the new functionality, users in Hong Kong are able to scan a charging pile QR code or begin and conclude charging directly within the XPeng app, and complete payments using AlipayHK.
According to the Chinese company, credit cards and other payment options will become available “soon”.
Antom’s General Manager Gary Liu said that the partnership positions both firms for the next phase of EV development.
“The global EV sector is entering a ‘smartification’ era, and we both believe AI mobility, interconnected services, and frictionless user experiences define competitiveness,” the executive stated.
“Payment becomes a strategic capability for automakers’ charging platforms to deliver better user service, improve efficiency, and achieve sustainable growth,” he added.
XPeng‘s General Manager of Overseas Charging Lawrence Li highlighted the role of global platforms in scaling the brand’s charging network.
“By leveraging Antom and Ant International’s global user reach to drive traffic to XPeng‘s branded charging stations, we can initiate broader cross-industry partnerships, bringing a richer, more engaging experience to users worldwide.”
Back in January 2025, the automaker and Volkswagen Group China announced that they would jointly build “one of the largest super-fast charging networks in China.”
In Hong Kong, XPeng has partnered with Cornerstone Technologies and EV Power to integrate over 1,600 public chargers into its app.
Future Expansion
Starting in Hong Kong, XPeng‘s new charging payment solution will be expanded to other Asian and international markets throughout this year.
The company intends to implement it in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
The carmaker expanded its charging infrastructure to the first three countries last September via a collaboration with the Singaporean charging operator Charge+.
Meanwhile, last Tuesday, XPeng introduced its first ultra-fast charging facility in Indonesia, in a partnership with the local EV charging provider Voltron.
The Southeast Asian nation also hosts the brand’s Purwakarta plant, where local production began last July.
The Chinese company will leverage Antom to integrate key regional payment platforms, such as TrueMoney in Thailand, Touch ‘n Go eWallet in Malaysia, and DANA in Indonesia.
