GAC exports reach record 223,000 units from January to October
By Eve
GAC reports that it exported 223,000 units from January to October, a new record for the company. Exports of its own brands rose 80.8% year on year, according to the company's announcement, with expansion across Europe, Asia Pacific, the Americas and other regions. The announcement frames the result as steady progress in its globalisation push.
Why it matters
Rapid growth in Chinese vehicle exports points to a larger GAC fleet appearing in overseas markets, which could add to charging demand in those regions. CPOs and procurement teams in Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas may want to watch for how this affects local vehicle parc mix and charger compatibility needs.

GAC offers $2,000 cashback or 0.99% finance on Aion V in Australia, plus a free 22 kW AC charger
GAC has launched an incentive on the Aion V, its first EV in Australia, which went on sale in November 2025. Buyers can choose $2,000 cashback or a 0.99% comparison rate on a 36 month finance term, and those who buy before the end of November also receive a free 22 kW AC charger. The Aion V starts at $42,590 before on road costs for the Premium variant and $44,590 for the Luxury, with a 75 kWh LFP battery, up to 510 km of WLTP range and fast charging at up to 180 kW, taking 30% to 80% in 16 minutes.
Why it matters
Bundling a 22 kW AC charger with the vehicle shows manufacturers using charging hardware as a sales incentive in a crowded Australian segment, which could shape demand for home and site charger supply and installation. CPOs and procurement teams should note the 180 kW DC capability of this lower priced model when planning for the vehicles that will use their networks.
Peugeot e-Expert van offers up to 356 km WLTP range with 75 kWh battery and 11 kW three phase onboard charger
In a sponsored feature (commercial collaboration with Peugeot) tied to the October 2026 price list update, the 136 hp (100 kW) e-Expert is offered with a 49 kWh battery for 226 km or a 75 kWh battery for 356 km WLTP, at 23.2 to 24.7 kWh per 100 km. It has an 11 kW three phase bidirectional onboard charger with V2L readiness, and up to 31 minutes to recover 80% of charge. It comes in M (4.98 m) and XL (5.33 m) lengths with roughly 1,000 kg payload, and includes the e-ROUTES app for 10 years via Connect ONE to plan charging stops.
Why it matters
A mid-size van with a 75 kWh pack and a three phase 11 kW onboard charger points to depot and overnight charging as the main use case for tradespeople and fleets, so site specifications should assume AC provision at that level. Bidirectional capability with V2L readiness and built-in charge stop planning are also worth noting when scoping fleet charging contracts.
Envoy and LACI Collaborate on Electric Car Sharing Across New Jersey in $8.5 Million Initiative Funded by NJDEP
Envoy and LACI are working together to bring electric car sharing across New Jersey, through an initiative worth $8.5 million and funded by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). Residents would be able to use shared electric vehicles by the hour or day, without the ongoing financial commitments of vehicle ownership. The item was published by COCH Stock News, and the excerpt gives no site counts, vehicle numbers or timelines.
Why it matters
State funded shared EV fleets can create steady, predictable charging demand, so CPOs and installers may find opportunities if the programme specifies charging provision. Procurement teams should watch for further detail on locations, vehicle numbers and who will supply and operate the chargers.
