The move is a normal price adjustment for Xpeng as its vehicle production costs have fallen, a spokesperson told CnEVPost.

From January 13 to February 5, all of Nio's battery swap stations along highways are open to vehicle owners for free and unlimited use.

For the full year 2022, China's NEV sales were 6.887 million units, up 93.4 percent year-on-year, accounting for 25.6 percent of all vehicle sales.

In a response sent to CnEVPost, Xpeng said the company welcomes talent, but Mr. He will remain as the company's head and that will not change.

The new EC6 could be the equivalent of a trimmed-down and thus more affordable version of the EC7, but the model could be still a long way off from an official launch, according to a well-known auto blogger.

The EC7, like the new ES8 and the new ES6, includes CALB in addition to CATL as a battery supplier.

It's worth noting that the new ES6's battery supplier includes CALB, in addition to CATL.

Model 3 retail sales in China increased 24.53 percent in December compared to November, while Model Y sales decreased 43.94 percent from November.

All models on the list except the ET5 and ET7 are traditional fuel models, with the BMW 3 Series coming in at No. 1 with 18,533 units.

On a full-year basis, the reopening of China will have a positive impact on consumer sentiment and should boost vehicle production and sales in the second quarter, said Edison Yu's team.
