Leapmotor B10 built in Zaragoza gets French ecoscore, Life Pro priced from €25,750
By Eve
Leapmotor announced on 23 October 2026 that the B10 produced in Zaragoza has obtained the French ecoscore, as reported by Journal de l'Automobile on 26 October. The electric B10 Life Pro is advertised from €25,750 as a "public price" with a €3,650 CEE bonus already included, or a lease at €280 a month over 48 months and 40,000 km with the same bonus. Orders are open, though the release does not state whether figures are inclusive of VAT or exclusive, nor any first rental, purchase option, stock or delivery date.
Why it matters
A Stellantis-distributed Chinese compact SUV priced this sharply, and made in Spain, adds pressure on French fleet and private electric vehicle pricing, which shapes charger demand and user profiles for CPOs. Buyers and fleet managers should verify the incentive on the exact version ordered, as the headline price and monthly rental are not a total cost.

Leapmotor delivers 106,127 vehicles in October, a record month and fourth straight above 100,000
Leapmotor reported 106,127 global deliveries in October, up 50.99% on the same month last year and 0.45% higher than September, when month-on-month growth had been 2.45%. From January to October it delivered 772,666 vehicles, up 65.88% year on year, which is about 77.27% of its 1 million annual target. The company expects its 2 millionth vehicle to come off the line in November, and the excerpt notes that hitting the target needs a significant acceleration over the final two months.
Why it matters
Sustained volumes above 100,000 a month from a Chinese manufacturer point to a growing and increasingly international EV fleet that will need charging capacity. CPOs and procurement teams should watch how quickly Leapmotor's overseas ambitions turn into vehicles on the road in their markets.
Stellantis presents its French end of life vehicle take back route through partner VHU centres and Valorauto
On 27 October 2026, Stellantis presented its route for taking back end of life vehicles in France, built on a network of partner VHU (end of life vehicle) centres, the Valorauto platform, free collection and a certificate of destruction. The network, attached to the group's individual scheme, was approved by the French authorities at the end of August, two months before the public announcement. The French Ministry of Ecological Transition notes that free collection and transport of complete vehicles is already a manufacturer obligation, so the announcement describes how Stellantis meets it rather than creating a new offer.
Why it matters
This is a French regulatory and compliance story rather than a charging one, but it shows how manufacturers are structuring end of life obligations through approved networks and platforms. Procurement teams and CPOs dealing with fleets or vehicle lifecycle partners in France should read the conditions attached to the offer before relying on it.
Rivian ships nearly 20,000 vehicles in Q3 2026 and narrows losses, but remains unprofitable
Rivian reported third quarter 2026 consolidated revenue of US$2.155 billion, up 38% year on year, with consolidated gross profit of US$176 million, a US$152 million improvement. Net loss attributable to common stockholders fell to US$913 million from US$1.173 billion, and adjusted net loss per share was US$0.48 against US$0.65. The company shipped nearly 20,000 vehicles from Normal, Illinois, and revised its delivery prediction to between 67,000 and 70,000 vehicles, as reported by EVNews's source coverage of the results.
Why it matters
Rising vehicle volumes alongside continued heavy losses show that US EV demand remains under pressure, which shapes the pace of charger utilisation growth that CPOs and their funders can expect. Procurement teams should note that Rivian's improved automotive gross loss of US$80 million still depends partly on regulatory credit revenue, so the outlook for US policy support matters.
