I'm in Denmark too, and I admit the Xpeng G6 looks really attractive.
We don't drive much, so IMO it's overkill to buy a new car. We are looking for something a few years old.
There are a lot of good options for new cars just around DKK 300-350k price including tax. (EUR 40-45k)
Personally I'd prefer the Enyaq iV 80, but it's very expensive as 2nd hand, although the VW iD4 cost the same from new, it's way cheaper used for some reason.
7-9 hour charging is only home charging, I don't know why that's a problem, I guess you have to sleep anyway?
New cars typically charge from 10-80% between 20 to 30 minutes at a charging station. The Xpeng G6 however is very fast, and does it in less than 15 minutes.
But that's not the most optimal charging for most cars either, charging curve is different for different cars, but typically charging speed drops at around 50-60% to protect the battery, so if you only charge it up half, it's way more than twice as fast.
This guy makes some amazing tests on distance driving and charging speeds:

He has also made tests for the Xpeng G6:
