XPENG remains to be struggling to search out one other huge development spurt. Its begin to 2026 has not been nice from a straight gross sales perspective. It’s largely been a matter of making an attempt to take care of a degree of stability moderately than reaching for the type of development it’s seen lately.
With that in thoughts, Could was a advantageous month for XPENG, even when it wasn’t spectacular in any approach. With 32,158 deliveries, Could was a 4% enchancment over April 2026. Nevertheless, it was additionally a 4% lower in comparison with the corporate’s Could 2025 outcomes.
The corporate’s numbers actually weren’t inspiring, as evidenced by the truth that XPENG wrote virtually nothing about them in its month-to-month supply report.
“XPENG’s electrical automobiles delivered from January to Could 2026 are anticipated to cut back life-cycle greenhouse gasoline emissions by greater than 2 million tons in comparison with inner combustion engine automobiles — equal to the carbon absorption of 33.16 million younger bushes over 10 years,” the corporate did write. And that’s one thing to have fun!
Sadly, although, XPENG’s deliveries throughout the primary 5 months of the 12 months, totaling 125,851 items, had been down 22.6% in comparison with deliveries throughout the primary 5 months of 2025.
Regardless of not having any development to report, the corporate did have some main milestones and progress to introduced final month. It began producing robotaxis, and the brand new XPENG GX racked up tens of 1000’s of orders quickly. So, we are able to anticipate a surge in supply numbers down the road. Keep tuned.
