TapTechNews reported on May 12 that, according to a post on the official Weibo account of Xiaopeng Motors, Xiaopeng Motors founder He Xiaopeng personally delivered a Xiaopeng X9 to Nio founder Li Bin on the 11th.
He Xiaopeng also shared a playful photo of the two on Weibo that evening, revealing that he went to Hefei to visit Volkswagen and Nio, and coincidentally took the same high-speed train to Shanghai with Li Bin.
Li Bin replied below, Together on the busy and happy road, to which He Xiaopeng humorously commented, This is the fun train version released today.
Background: In December last year, Li Bin personally drove a Nio ET7 to test his 150kW battery pack and connected with He Xiaopeng during a live stream. Li Bin promised to buy a Xiaopeng X9 to support Xiaopeng after its release, but said he would have to break a bone.
In mid-March this year, Li Bin and He Xiaopeng met at a forum for 100 Chinese electric vehicle companies. Li Bin reminded He Xiaopeng to fulfill the broken bone promise, and He Xiaopeng decided to personally subsidize half of the car price, offering a 50% “friendship price”. Li Bin also mentioned that he would provide a test drive report for Xiaopeng Motors.
