While most Chinese electric vehicle makers have seen ups and downs, Xpeng

has built a slow and steady momentum over the last 12 months without a single decline this year – a rare streak in China’s competitive EV market.

Xpeng in its all-year round winning streak, delivered 42,013 vehicles. This marks the second time the startup has topped over 40,000 vehicles this year.

The latest 40,000 breakthrough comes after the release of the Mona series in late August which began deliveries in September. Xpeng reported its namesake brand and Mona-branded cars in its monthly total and did not break out global and China sales figures.

The Mona series is Xpeng’s mass-market brand that carries models such as the M03 sedan for as little as 119,800 yuan ($16,812) or 155,800 yuan for more advanced assistive features.
