We’ve got some good news and some meh news regarding hot, fun EV startups Xpeng and NIO. Both Chinese automakers just reported their August sales numbers, and the long-term trends look good, but it wasn’t a spectacular month of growth.

NIO continues to grow. At the turn of the month, I focused on covering Xpeng because it had a flurry of news come in, and also boasted 5 months in a row of EV sales growth — both month over month and year over year! However, I didn’t get back … [continued]
Some may be claiming EV sales aren’t growing, but to that, XPeng can say: “Ha!” That’s because the Chinese “smart electric vehicle” company has seen 5 months in a row of both year-over-year sales growth and month-over-month sales growth.
