I simply reported earlier in the present day on XPENG’s exploding gross sales in February. It had 570% gross sales development in February 2025 in comparison with February 2024. Now it’s coming into one other huge market, Indonesia. Earlier in the present day, XPENG launched within the nation of 281 million.

XPENG will even produce the X9 and G6 in Indonesia within the second half of 2025. XPENG has partnered with Erajaya Energetic Life-style (ERAL) to market and promote autos in Indonesia.

Now, we’ve reported on XPENG’s entry into a number of markets all over the world. Nevertheless, it might have hit you already that that doesn’t usually include an announcement about native automobile manufacturing. Typically talking, XPENG is manufacturing its autos in China and delivery them to those different markets. Nevertheless, the corporate signifies that could be about to vary — at the least, in main markets.

“This technique demonstrates a shift in the direction of a extra built-in, localized method. By localizing manufacturing and integrating provide chains, XPENG goals to create a group of shared pursuits in world markets by know-how, manufacturing capability, and ecosystem partnerships,” the corporate writes. “This may allow the corporate to supply extra environment friendly, personalized options to Indonesian shoppers in addition to different key markets.”

Indonesia is the most important auto market in Southeast Asia. Additionally it is the place XPENG needs to focus its subsequent section of development. “As Southeast Asia’s largest new automotive market on the million-unit degree and a high-potential market, XPENG goals to construct Indonesia and different markets within the APAC area into its subsequent development engine, propelling its world success.”

Curiously, on this case, XPENG didn’t associate up along with your traditional auto vendor. As a substitute, it partnered with a tech retailer. Which is sensible on this new EV world, proper? “As a number one participant in Indonesia’s high-end know-how and client electronics sector, Erajaya represents high world manufacturers, together with DJI drones and premium life-style merchandise,” XPENG writes. “Below Erajaya’s management, DJI has already constructed a robust technological fame and market presence in Indonesia. Constructing on this benefit, XPENG and Erajaya will work collectively to drive market schooling for superior sensible EVs and improve the consumer expertise.”

“Collectively, we’re introducing a brand new period of sensible, sustainable mobility in Indonesia, with an emphasis on buyer expertise and repair excellence,” Djohan Sutanto, CEO of Erajaya Energetic Life-style, mentioned.

“XPENG seeks companions who share the identical imaginative and prescient and desires. Erajaya Energetic Life-style is such a ‘new-force’ in Indonesia and an ideal match for XPENG regionally,” added Brian Gu, Vice Chairman and President of XPENG.

All of it sounds very thrilling. It’s exhausting to not get caught up within the revolutionary and futuristic language, particularly mixed with some good outdated altruistic sustainability. And why would you need to keep away from getting caught up in it. That’s half the enjoyable, at the least!

“With this launch, XPENG and ERAL are set to redefine Indonesia’s EV panorama, delivering a better, extra linked, and extra sustainable mobility expertise for shoppers,” the sensible EV producer writes. “XPENG shouldn’t be solely democratizing know-how globally but additionally democratizing consumer experiences worldwide.” Sounds good to me. I think about it can sound excellent to many Indonesians as nicely.
