Xpeng Motors' production surpassed Nio's in December and is expected to do well in January sales, said Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
In a report released today, Cui said Xpeng's production reached 7,092 units in December, beating Nio's 7,007.
This indicates that Xpeng "has a strong production capacity and will certainly achieve an explosive sales growth in January", Cui said, adding that Xpeng will also receive a relatively high new energy credit score.
Tesla, BYD, and SAIC-GM Wuling are the top three in the 2020 new energy credit score rankings, all exceeding 100,000 points, the report said.
In terms of new energy vehicle production, Wuling is No. 1, BYD is No. 2 and Tesla is No. 3.
Overall, new energy passenger vehicle production and credit score in 2020 exceeded expectations, which also set stronger confidence in the faster development of the new energy market, Cui said.
