Chinese Tesla rival Xpeng wants to sell half of its cars overseas
Chinese electric car start-up $XPeng(XPEV.US$ plans to become a global automaker, with half of vehicle deliveries going to countries outside China, vice president and chairman Brian Gu said Wednesday.
Gu said the company expects to enter Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands next year.
Xpeng and Chinese rivals $NIO Inc(NIO.US$ and $BYD Company ADR(BYDDY.US$ have already begun expanding to Norway in the last year.
Profitability still elusive
U.S.-listed Xpeng’s shares rose more than 8% overnight after the company reported a beat on revenue in the third quarter, coming in at 5.72 billion yuan ($887.7 million). That topped expectations of 5.03 billion yuan, according to StreetAccount.
However, the start-up reported a greater-than-expected loss of 1.77 yuan (27 cents) per share, versus expectations of an 1.17 yuan loss, according to StreetAccount.
Gu said Wednesday he expects the automaker can reach breakeven in two years.
