While the domestic Chinese market remains its primary customer
base, Xpeng is now well positioned to develop its international
strategy with the launch of its first production model, the G3
electric SUV, in Norway. Xpeng is actively exploring opportunities
in other EV-mature markets with supportive government policies,
advanced EV infrastructure and high EV awareness as the top
priority markets. Xpeng is also planning to launch its second
production model, the P7 electric sports sedan, in Europe within
the next 12 months.
He Xiaopeng, CEO & Chairman of Xpeng, commented: “This
week’s customer deliveries in Norway represent a key milestone in
Xpeng’s aspirations to become a truly international smart EV brand.
Our launch in Europe comes just as consumers are shifting in
increasingly large numbers to more sustainable personal transport,
and at a tipping point where governments around the world are
stepping up their zero emission efforts. We look forward to being a
significant driver in accelerating that transition.”
The highly popular new energy and electric vehicle platform,
Fully Charged Show YouTube channel, features the Xpeng G3 in its
debut ‘Premiere’ episode. Hosted by renowned EV evangelist, Robert
Llewellyn, the show provides an exclusive review of the G3
available in Norway.
