Chinese EV Maker Xpeng Accelerates European Expansion โwith Sales Tripling
Oslo, Norway – Xpeng, โฃa leading Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, has seen its international sales surge, more than tripling year-over-year between January and july to 18,701 โฃvehicles. The growth is fueled by an expanding presence in โคthe European market, where xpeng first began operations in 2021 โwith initial sales focused on Norway.
This push into overseas markets comes as Chineseโฃ EV companies navigate an increasingly competitive domestic landscape marked byโข a prolonged price war. To offset these pressures and capitalizeโข on growing global demand for electric vehicles,manufacturers like Xpeng are shifting strategies to include โขdirect production within keyโ foreign markets,including Europe and Southeast Asia,despite rising business barriers.
Xpeng’s European entry began with Norway, leveraging the country’s robust EV infrastructure and incentives. The company’s expansionโฃ reflects a broader trend of Chinese automakers seeking to establish a foothold in international markets, challenging established automotive brands and accelerating the โtransition to electricโข mobility worldwide. The company currently offers โขmodels likeโค the G9 SUV.
