From the fist article:

> XPeng's new S4 ultra-fast charger, first announced in late 2021, is an 800 volt class EV charger with a peak power output of 480 kW (at up to 670 A and at over 700 V).

You will need definitively a new electrical installation to use that at home, and many safety measures to ensure morons are not fried.

High power DC fast chargers are not meant for residential installation.

For residential installation, you don't want fast charging. Slow charging damages the battery less, and for everyday use getting to full charge overnight is sufficient.

When you need to fast charge, you should go do it at a charger.
