Xpeng Suppliers

The cell module supplied by Svolt Energy for the 550 km range version of the Xpeng P5 has officially rolled off the production line.

CALB said it has previously been the preferred supplier for Xpeng's P7 and P5 sedans, is the main supplier for the G3i, and is now supplying batteries for the G9.

Xpeng has 53 percent of its Tier 1 suppliers in East China and 35 percent in South China in 2021.

The model codenamed F30 will likely be built on a new platform other than Xpeng's existing David and Edward platforms.

Xpeng will gradually replace the batteries originally supplied by CATL with those from CALB, as the price of CATL's products has risen too much, according to local media. However, the company denied it in a response sent to CnEVPost.

Battery maker Sunwoda will be the main supplier in one version of Xpeng's flagship SUV, the G9, with a share of more than 50 percent, according to local media.

CALB will build a battery production facility with a planned annual capacity of 50 GWh in Guangzhou, where Xpeng is headquartered.

An Xpeng source has hinted that the report is true, saying that the supply chain of components for vehicle production needs to be continually improved.

SK Innovation signed a contract with Xpeng in July to supply it with high nickel batteries with 80 percent nickel content, according to the report.

Xpeng Motors' application to freeze the assets of a supplier, Beijing Linkdata Technologies, for RMB 39.54 million ($6.1 million) has been upheld by the court, according to data provider Tianyancha.
