XPeng in 2023

According to industry analysts, the lack of available batteries is still the biggest problem for EV start-ups like XPeng, since this might impede EV manufacturing as demand increases. However, the Chinese smart EV maker Xpeng has now set up a unit to design and produce battery packs.

Finally, XPeng plans to release three cars the next year as part of its intensified efforts to create new models in order to make up for the ground lost as a result of the Covid-19 lockdowns in 2022.
