NEW YORK, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — XPeng Inc., a leading smart electric

He said he is confident about a promising future in China’s smart EV,
buoyed by the nation’s huge EV market and growing base of
technology-savvy middle-class consumers.

volume and is expected to grow at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate)
of 29.4 percent from 2019 to 2025, reaching 4.2 million units in 2025,
