Evidence & sources

Every fact is dated by the time it describes; where its source was published later, that date follows the source's name. “By” before a date means the step was reported done by that day. What a plant shares with other makers — its area, capacity or output — is kept apart and marked as the whole plant's, never XPeng's share. A report by the press is marked Media. Updated 10 Oct 2026.
