Chinese electric and hybrid carmakers Li Auto and XPeng are building sales, service, and spare parts networks in Europe to support their market entry despite EU-imposed import caps and tariffs on Chinese hybrid and electric vehicles. XPeng awaits regulatory approval for launching its autonomous driving system in Europe, targeting early next year.
