On April 28, XPENG, a leading new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturer, entered into a strategic partnership with Huangshi Dongchu Investment Group Co., Ltd. ("Dongchu Group") in Huangshi, Hubei province. The collaboration combines XPENG's advanced technological expertise with Dongchu Group's extensive local resources to enhance the deployment of a smart charging network and boost NEV sales in the region.

The partnership focuses on establishing a comprehensive ultra-fast charging infrastructure across Huangshi city. XPENG stated: "This initiative aims to achieve full coverage of ultra-fast charging infrastructure across Huangshi city and establish a new benchmark for NEV ecosystems in eastern Hubei province." By integrating their strengths, the two parties plan to extend this network to all counties and townships in Huangshi, positioning the city as a national leader in ultra-fast charging. The collaboration will also expand the Dongchu-XPENG charging network to other cities in southeastern Hubei, providing NEV users with faster and more reliable charging services.

Beyond infrastructure, XPENG and Dongchu Group will work together to develop an integrated NEV sales and service model. This model encompasses sales, delivery, after-sales support, and charging services. Leveraging Dongchu Group's strategic locations in transportation hubs and commercial centers, the partners aim to create a seamless, full-lifecycle service system to improve the customer experience.

The collaboration also sets the stage for future initiatives in sustainable energy solutions. XPENG and Dongchu Group plan to explore opportunities in photovoltaic energy storage, eco-friendly mobility, and smart grid technologies. These efforts are designed to support the growth of the new energy sector and contribute to the broader adoption of sustainable practices.

This partnership marks a significant step toward enhancing Huangshi’s NEV ecosystem, improving regional connectivity, and delivering high-quality services to NEV users.
