XPeng Deliveries Rebound in February

While the February results represent a sequential increase from a holiday-impacted January, they mark a significant 50% decrease from the 30,453 vehicles delivered in the same month last year. This year-over-year decline comes after a challenging January 2026, where deliveries of 20,011 vehicles were already down 34% from the previous year. XPeng's performance contrasts with key domestic rivals. NIO reported delivering 20,797 EVs in February, a 57.6% increase year-over-year, while Li Auto announced 26,421 deliveries for the month. The competitive pressure is intensifying across the Chinese EV market, with several automakers, including BYD and Tesla, resorting to low-interest financing options to spur sales in early 2026. This follows a period of intense price wars, which prompted Chinese regulators in mid-February to issue guidelines aimed at curbing excessive price-cutting. Looking ahead, XPeng is banking on a technology-focused strategy centered on what it calls "Physical AI." The company plans to launch several new models, including extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs), to broaden its market appeal. The company is also expanding its global presence, having reached 60 countries by the end of 2025 with plans to double overseas sales in 2026.
