One of the most exciting car companies in the world — from my perspective — is the Chinese “smart EV” startup XPeng.

There seems to be no end to the incentives blues, with the Chinese plug-in market plunging 46% year over year (YoY), and this time both powertrain technologies crashed at the same speed (-47% for BEVs, -46% for PHEVs), a worrying drop, considering the overall market was down just 6% Yo
