NEW YORK, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — XPeng Inc., a leading smart electric
vehicle (EV) manufacturer in China, made its debut on the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) on Thursday, trading under the ticker symbol of “XPEV.”

XPeng priced its initial public offering of 99.7 million American
depositary shares (ADSs) at 15 U.S. dollars per ADS, above the range of
11 dollars to 13 dollars given by the company, for a total offering size
of approximately 1.5 billion dollars.

Each ADS represents two Class A ordinary shares of the company.

Credit Suisse Securities, J.P. Morgan Securities, and BofA Securities are acting as joint bookrunners for the offering.

XPeng’s CEO He Xiaopeng told Xinhua that the listing was a milestone
for the company as it offered an opportunity for his team to better
communicate with investors, which would be conducive for the company’s
long-term development.

“We will continue to improve our development and research, enhance
innovation and expand sales channels,” said the chief executive.

Founded in 2015, the Guangzhou-headquartered company aims to bring
smart EVs to consumers through innovation in autonomous driving, smart
connectivity and core vehicle systems.

Approximately 50 percent of the net proceeds of this offering will be
used for research and development of smart EVs and technologies, while
30 percent of the net proceeds of this offering will be used for
marketing and expansion of sales channels, the company said in its
prospectus.

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.

China’s EV market represented 45.1 percent of the global EV sales
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,
according to IHS Markit Report.

XPeng stock closed at 21.22 dollars apiece on Thursday, up 41.47 percent from its pricing.
