Xpeng Promotions

Although Xpeng has not directly adjusted the prices of its models, the discounts to some extent amount to a price cut in disguise, local media said.

China's subsidies for new energy vehicle purchases are set to decrease by 30 percent in 2022 compared to this year.

This is largely due to the fact that Xpeng's car purchase benefits for consumers will begin to be reduced on December 13.

Xpeng's three currently available models, the G3i, P5 and P7, will have their purchase benefits reduced by about half.

Users will be able to get XPILOT assisted driving software for free if they choose to get their vehicles delivered first and get the radars installed after the end of March next year.

A severe shortage of radar chips is affecting Xpeng's new vehicle deliveries, and it's likely to deliver models missing some millimeter-wave radars.

As Xpeng users continue to expand, the reduction in free charging credits is to ensure that the Xpeng Supercharger system provides better and sustainable replenishment services for customers.

Xpeng announced Monday that it will reduce the 3,000 kilowatt hours per year of free charging it offers to customers to 1,000 kilowatt hours per year, effective Aug. 1.

Xpeng's free charging credit for owners will be scaled back from 3,000 kilowatt hours per year to 1,000 kWh, a change expected to take effect July 12, less than a year after it was announced, ifeng.com reported Saturday.

The idle fee is RMB 1.0 yuan/minute (16¢) and the billing starts 30 minutes after the end of charging.
