XPeng sold 7,200 vehicles from April 21 to April 27, according to registration data posted on Chinese social media this Tuesday. The figures represent a 9% sequential increase as the carmaker’s weekly sales remained between 6,600 and 7,500 units over the last two months.
The Guangzhou-based brand saw its sales surpass 7,000 units after having recorded 6,700 and 6,600 in the last two weeks, respectively.
Out of the 7,200 vehicles sold last week, 2,500 were Mona M03 sedans, making up over 34% of XPeng‘s sales. The G6 and G9 SUVs sold 1,700 and 862 units, respectively. The brand’s P7+ recorded 1,600 registrations, while the original P7 sold just 40 units.
Year to date, XPeng sold 116,000 vehicles in China — it’s the fourth best-selling NEV brands in its home market, second only to Li Auto when considering only startups.
In March, the company delivered 33,205 vehicles — surpassing the 30,000 unit mark for the fifth consecutive month. The brand aims to deliver 380,000 vehicles this year.
As of the end of the first quarter, which is typically the slowest one of the year, XPeng had reached 24.7% of its target.
Tesla registered a 51.5% jump in weekly sales, with 10,300 vehicles, including 7,100 units of the refreshed Model Y. Deliveries are gradually rebounding as the U.S. automaker prioritizes exports from its Shanghai Gigafactory early each quarter, delaying domestic shipments.
Premium EV maker Zeekr sold 3,500 units, while its rival Nio brand registered 6,500 vehicles.
For the third consecutive week, Nio saw its strongest week in sales domestically. Nio Group, which also includes sales from the sub-brand Onvo, registered a total of 8,000 vehicles.
BYD, China’s new energy vehicle best-seller, sold 62,200 vehicles last week. Between January 1 and April 27, the brand registered 840,500 fully electric and hybrid models. Tesla, which comes next, recorded 159,600 EVs.
Charging
Over the weekend, XPeng announced on Weibo that it “added 17 new self-operated stations” to its charging network, from which 16 are “ultra-fast.”
The company has built 2,110 self-operated ultra-fast charging stations and partnered with international giants like Volkswagen and the European-based BP Pulse.
Currently, the brand’s charging network covers Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and 27 European countries, with a total of 2.07 million chargers (including third party) in its network across 31 markets.
Upcoming Models
At the Shanghai Auto Show, which started last week, XPeng unveiled the new version of its P7+ sedan, featuring a “5C ultra-fast charging AI battery.” CEO He Xiaopeng claimed the battery can power a month’s commute with just 10 minutes of charging.
The P7+ model debuted in November, starting at 186,800 yuan ($25,600).
The carmaker announced on Tuesday that it has produced the 50,000th P7+ sedan just five months after its launch.
“From hatchback aesthetics to becoming the king of energy consumption management among pure electrics, every journey marks a new starting point in exploring the future,” the company wrote on Weibo. “The XPeng P7+ has truly realized equality in intelligence and comfort, allowing 50,000 XPeng families to enjoy the beauty of technology together.”
Earlier this month, the brand also launched the updated version of its X9 MPV, with prices in China starting at 259,800 yuan ($36,600). XPeng also updated its G6 and G9 models in mid-March.
At the same event, when asked by EV about the timeline for XPeng’s “highly competitive Robotaxi,” CEO He Xiaopeng said there are still major challenges ahead and did not give a clear date. He had previously said the Robotaxi was expected to be launched in 2026.
XPeng aims to double its presence to 60 markets by year-end. After entering Poland, Switzerland, Czech Republic and Slovakia in March, the brand’s VP Brian Gu announced that the carmaker will soon expand to Italy.
As of the time of writing, XPeng‘s U.S.-listed shares are trading 5% lower on Tuesday’s pre-market session, at $18.93. Year to date, the stock surged 68.61%.
