4 Answers
XPeng Motors was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Guangzhou. It is an internet electric vehicle brand under Guangzhou Xiaopeng Motors Technology Co., Ltd. Currently, XPeng Motors has two production bases located in Zhaoqing, Guangdong and Zhengzhou, Henan. Its main R&D centers are in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, Silicon Valley in the United States, and San Diego in the United States. It is a very young new energy vehicle company. Core Technologies of XPeng Motors: 1. Pure Electric Drive System: XPeng Motors' pure electric drive system is centered around the motor, battery, and electronic control. The motor controller, DCDC, and charger are placed in the front compartment, while the battery system is arranged below the floor of the passenger compartment. 2. Motor: The initial version of XPeng Motors' motor has a power density of 10kW/L, with a target of reaching 14.5kW/L, which is more than double the domestic average. 3. Battery: XPeng Motors' battery pack has undergone four iterations of development, with an energy density close to 150Wh/kg. Unlike most domestic electric vehicle battery packs that use natural cooling or air cooling, XPeng Motors has designed a liquid-cooled battery pack. After exposure tests, it can output over 200kW while keeping the temperature rise within 10 degrees, effectively solving the battery temperature rise issue.
I'm a Xpeng owner and just picked up my new car last month. The delivery note indicated it came from the Zhaoqing factory in Guangdong. Xpeng's main production bases are located in Zhaoqing and Huangpu, Guangzhou, in China's Guangdong province, along with a newly built factory in Wuhan, which is a collaboration with Dongfeng. These locations were chosen due to their proximity to component suppliers and the Pearl River Estuary ports, ensuring convenient logistics and lower costs, which allows us buyers to enjoy more affordable prices. Additionally, the strategic layout of these bases helps Xpeng increase production capacity, speeding up new car deliveries—I only had to wait two weeks for my car. In the future, they might set up factories in Europe to make exporting electric vehicles cheaper, which would be great for consumers.
I have some interest in manufacturing technology. XPeng's production bases are concentrated in several regions: Zhaoqing is the main factory, Guangzhou Huangpu has a research and development center linked to the factory, and Wuhan is the newly partnered factory. These factories utilize advanced automated robots, ensuring high efficiency and more reliable vehicle quality. The locations are chosen in the Pearl River Delta and Wuhan, close to the supply chain, which reduces transportation time. Expanding the bases has also increased XPeng's annual production capacity to hundreds of thousands of vehicles, supporting rapid model updates, giving consumers more confidence when purchasing cars.
I follow automotive news. XPeng's factories are located in Zhaoqing and Guangzhou, Guangdong, plus a partner plant in Wuhan. These locations give XPeng large production capacity and fast new car manufacturing. They plan to expand overseas in the future, such as to Europe. Young people choose domestic cars for their good quality and affordable prices.
