The electric vehicle maker XPeng opened on Thursday its first Brand Experience Store in Norway located in Bjørvika, downtown Oslo. The Oslo store is XPeng‘s fourth one, after the opening of locations in Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands earlier this year. In June, XPeng will participate in the 35th International Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS35) 2022 in Oslo, the world’s largest international EV event.
Morten Maastad, XPeng’s Store Manager in Oslo commented: “Yesterday we opened our first XPeng Showroom in Bjørvika. The day started with TV2 and Good Morning Norway had an idea of our X2 Rotor before we had a nice event for the press and especially invited. We had many satisfied customers by and over 1300 visitors on the first day! I want to thank the amazing XPeng team for all the work that’s been put into this store. We are now ready to welcoming customers to our great store. Welcome to us.”
