BEIJING - German automaker Volkswagen and Chinese electric vehicle maker XPeng will collaborate on a super-fast charging network in China, the carmakers said on Monday, reported German news agency dpa.

The two companies have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly build one of the largest super-fast charging networks in the country.
