William Li, founder, chairman and CEO of Nio (NYSE: NIO), has purchased an Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV) X9 MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), a rare choice of vehicle from a competitor.
蔚來汽車（紐約證券交易所代碼：NIO）的創始人、董事長兼首席執行官李威廉（William Li）購買了一輛小鵬（紐約證券交易所代碼：XPEV）X9 MPV（多用途車），這是競爭對手的罕見選擇。
He Xiaopeng, Xpeng's chairman and CEO, personally delivered a silver Xpeng X9 to Li in Hefei, Anhui province, on May 11, marking the Nio CEO's first purchase of a vehicle from another brand in eight years, according to information shared by Xpeng on Weibo.
根據小鵬在微博上分享的信息，小鵬董事長兼首席執行官何小鵬於5月11日在安徽省合肥親自向李先生交付了一輛銀色的小鵬X9，這標誌着蔚來首席執行官八年來首次從另一個品牌購買汽車。
Launched on January 1, the X9 is the flagship model under Xpeng's SEPA (Smart Electric Platform Architecture) 2.0 architecture.
X9於1月1日推出，是小鵬SEPA（智能電氣平台架構）2.0架構下的旗艦機型。
The 7-seater MPV has a starting price of RMB 359,800 ($49,800), the highest price for an Xpeng vehicle to date, and deliveries began on January 16.
這款7座多用途乘用車的起價爲359,800元人民幣（合49,800美元），是迄今爲止小鵬汽車的最高價格，於1月16日開始交付。
Xpeng delivered 31,214 vehicles in January-April, with the X9 contributing 9,831 units, or 31.5 percent, according to data compiled by CnEVPost.
根據CNevPost彙編的數據，小鵬汽車在1月至4月交付了31,214輛汽車，其中X9貢獻了9,831輛，佔31.5％。
Last December, Li said in a phone call to Xpeng's Mr. He, during the first range challenge of Nio's 150-kWh semi-solid battery pack, that he would buy an Xpeng X9 when it became available.
去年12月，在蔚來150kWh半固態電池組的首次續航里程挑戰賽中，李在給小鵬的何先生的電話中表示，他將在Xpeng X9上市時購買它。
Li jokingly said at the time that he hoped Xpeng would give him a discount. Mr. He responded that he would offer Li a 50 percent discount, but that the discount would come from his own pocket, not from Xpeng.
李當時開玩笑地說，他希望小鵬給他一個折扣。何先生回應說，他將向李提供50％的折扣，但折扣將來自他自己的口袋，而不是來自小鵬汽車。
As of now, Nio's product lineup includes only sedans and SUVs (sport utility vehicles), but no MPVs.
截至目前，蔚來的產品陣容僅包括轎車和SUV（運動型多功能車），但沒有MPV。
Nio's management mentioned last November that the company would not launch MPVs based on the current Nio Technology 2.0 (NT 2.0) platform, but that it had plans for MPVs on the company's third-generation NT 3.0 platform.
蔚來管理層去年11月提到，該公司不會推出基於當前蔚來科技2.0（NT 2.0）平台的MPV，但它計劃在該公司的第三代NT 3.0平台上推出MPV。
Mr. He was in Hefei on May 11 to visit Volkswagen Anhui and Nio when he stopped by to deliver the vehicle to Li, according to a Weibo he posted.
根據他發佈的微博，何先生於5月11日在合肥拜訪安徽大衆汽車和蔚來汽車，當時他停下來將車輛交給了李。
The Xpeng CEO joked during a visit to a Nio House in Hefei that Nio already has more than 2,400 battery swap stations, and that when that number reaches 5,000-6,000, Xpeng might actually consider joining the system.
小鵬首席執行官在訪問合肥蔚來大廈時開玩笑說，蔚來已經有超過2400個電池交換站，當這個數字達到5,000-6,000個時，小鵬實際上可能會考慮加入該系統。
So far, GAC Group, Lotus Technology, Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group (JAC), Chery, Geely Holding, and Changan Automobile have announced cooperation with Nio on battery swaps.
到目前爲止，廣汽集團、路特斯科技、安徽江淮汽車集團（JAC）、奇瑞、吉利控股和長安汽車已宣佈與蔚來在電池互換方面進行合作。
Mr. He visited Volkswagen's plant in Anhui province on May 11. On July 26, 2023, Volkswagen announced that it would invest about $700 million to acquire about 4.99 percent of Xpeng, and that the two companies plan to co-develop two Volkswagen-branded EV models for the mid-size car market in China.
何先生於5月11日訪問了大衆汽車在安徽省的工廠。2023年7月26日，大衆汽車宣佈將投資約7億美元收購小鵬汽車約4.99％的股份，兩家公司計劃爲中國中型汽車市場共同開發兩款大衆汽車品牌的電動汽車車型。
The Xpeng CEO said he has visited many car companies' factories before, including Volkswagen's, but it was the first time he had visited a Volkswagen factory this close.
小鵬汽車首席執行官表示，他之前曾訪問過許多汽車公司的工廠，包括大衆汽車的工廠，但這是他第一次在如此接近的地方參觀大衆汽車工廠。
Mr. He took the same high-speed rail to Shanghai with Nio's Li after finishing his trip to Hefei.
何先生結束合肥之旅後，與蔚來汽車的李一起乘坐同一條高鐵前往上海。
