Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng Inc. has pushed back its profit goal until 2025, after a horror year in which its shares plunged 80% and it delivered less than half its annual sales target.
Having previously aimed to break even by late 2023 or early 2024, the Guangzhou-based automaker now expects to turn an operating profit in 2025, Chief Executive Officer He Xiaopeng told Bloomberg News.
