When XPENG, a global technology company and one of the fast-growing smart EV manufacturers, approached Eviny in 2025 to support an ambitious project to set a new Norwegian charging record for its XPENG G6 vehicles, the requirements were clear: the solution had to deliver unrivalled performance, consistency and speed. To achieve this, Eviny - Norway’s largest renewable energy company - turned to its partner Delta, a company already recognized for its dependable, high-efficiency charging technologies across the Nordic region.
Norway is recognised worldwide as the leading nation for electric vehicle adoption. More than 90% of new cars sold in recent years have been fully electric, supported by a strong national commitment to phase-out sales of fossil-fuel vehicles and to expand a comprehensive charging network nationwide. This rapid shift has created one of the most demanding environments for EV charging worldwide. High usage rates, harsh weather conditions and the expectation of seamless driver experience mean that charging operators must rely on technologies that are both powerful and exceptionally resilient.
A challenging technical goal
XPENG’s objective was to demonstrate the capabilities of its 800-volt architecture and its 5C super-chargeable LFP battery system. Doing so required access to ultra-fast charging equipment capable of delivering the power and current needed to shorten charging times significantly. The target was to create a real-world scenario that would push charging technology to its limits while maintaining full safety, efficiency and operability.
Eviny, acting as the charge point operator (CPO) for the project, required a reliable technology partner capable of delivering a 500kW charger that fully utilizes the maximum charging capacity of compatible vehicles, that sets a new benchmark for peak power performance in the industry. The charger also had to integrate seamlessly into Eviny’s existing systems, withstand continuous high-power operation and enable XPENG to test repeatedly without interruption.
Delta’s UFC 500 ultra-fast charger was selected as the preferred solution following detailed technical evaluations. While several manufacturers were considered - including XPENG’s own charging technology, it was Delta that offered the combination of performance, reliability and scalability that aligned most closely with the project’s objectives.
Why Eviny chose Delta
Delta has earned a strong reputation in the Nordic EV market as a supplier of high-efficiency, durable charging solutions designed for demanding conditions. The company’s chargers are already widely deployed across Norway and are supported by responsive local service teams who understand the operational pressures faced by CPOs.
For Eviny, three factors were central to deciding on Delta as the partner to spearhead this implementation. First, Delta’s UFC 500 charger met the exact technical requirements for the project. The ability to supply 500 kW with a high current capability, was essential to supporting XPENG’s goal of demonstrating fast, efficient charging for its next-generation vehicles.
Second, the project required a local partner that could collaborate closely throughout testing. Delta’s engineering team committed to providing hands-on support, anticipating potential issues early and working alongside Eviny and XPENG to refine performance ahead of the record attempt.
Third, Eviny valued Delta’s track record for dependable infrastructure across multiple Nordic markets. The company’s ability to deliver, commission and support ultra-fast chargers within tight timelines was a decisive advantage in a project where deadlines mattered.
Precise planning under tight timelines
The project began in May 2025, with an accelerated schedule to meet XPENG’s record-setting requirements. Despite the complexity of delivering a 500 kW system, all planning, logistics, and commissioning phases progressed faster than those of comparable local projects.
Eviny highlighted Delta’s responsiveness throughout the implementation. Technical queries were answered promptly, adjustments were made proactively, and the charger was prepared for repeated high-load testing ahead of schedule. One Eviny representative said the collaboration “felt like working with a long-established local team,” reflecting Delta’s ability to adapt to Norwegian market expectations and operational practices quickly.
Close coordination across all parties was essential. XPENG required absolute reliability from the charging infrastructure to support its demonstrations. Eviny needed assurance that its operational standards, both in safety and service continuity, would be fully supported. Delta worked directly with both teams, providing on-site and remote engineering support to refine settings, manage thermal conditions and ensure that performance remained stable across multiple tests.
Delivering a record-setting performance
With the Delta UFC 500 charger in place, Eviny and XPENG conducted rigorous testing to confirm stability, monitor operational parameters and validate compatibility with the XPENG G6’s charging architecture. The combination of the vehicle’s advanced design and the charger’s high-power output enabled XPENG to achieve a new Norwegian charging record.
According to XPENG, the achievement marked an important milestone for both the automotive and charging sectors in Norway. It demonstrated the potential of ultra-fast charging technologies to reduce charging times when supported by compatible vehicle platforms significantly. It also confirmed the role of high-power infrastructure in preparing the Norwegian market and other progressive EV markets for the next generation of EVs.
“Working with Eviny and Delta allowed us to demonstrate the full capability of our XPENG G6 charging technology. The availability of reliable, high-power charging infrastructure was essential to enabling this record-breaking performance for our drivers in Norway,” stated Trine Johansen, Head of Marketing, XPENG Motors Norway.
For Eviny, the record showcased its position as a forward-looking CPO capable of supporting cutting-edge innovation. For Delta, it underlined the reliability and performance of its UFC 500 technology in one of the world’s most demanding EV ecosystems.
Strong operational benefits for Eviny
Beyond the record itself, Eviny has reported several operational advantages from the project. During routine inspections, Eviny’s technicians observed that Delta’s charger's modular design significantly reduced the time required for standard service tasks. Work that typically takes an hour on other high-power systems was completed in minutes, reducing downtime and improving overall station availability. For a CPO managing a busy national network, this represents a clear operational benefit.
