VW weighs Xpeng software for 75% of European models, undercutting Rivian

Volkswagen is considering using software co-developed with China's Xpeng in roughly 75% of its future European models, a move that would reduce the role of its American partner Rivian despite a $5.8 billion investment. The shift reflects VW's struggle to close the software gap and its willingness to pivot toward Chinese tech partners. The final decision is uncertain, but it signals a potential realignment in VW's EV strategy and a setback for Rivian's software ambitions.
