1,058 miles without stopping – the world's longest-range SUV just landed in China, and Tesla should be worried

• China’s Xpeng says G7 has the longest range of any SUV
• Owners can travel from Beijing and Shanghai without stopping
• Company aims to rapidly expand outside of China in coming years

Chinese EV maker Xpeng has unveiled an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) version of its G7 SUV and P7+ sedan that it hopes will not only prove popular in its domestic market, but also in Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa, where it plans to expand in the coming years.

The G7 boasts the world’s longest combined range of any SUV, according to Chinese news website SCMP.

The hybrid combination of a 55.8kWh battery pack and a small petrol engine that’s fed by a 15.9-gallon (60-liter) fuel tank means it can cover a total distance of 1,704 kilometers (1,058 miles) when both battery and tank are brimmed.
