Xpeng could join other Chinese EV makers, including BYD and Chery, trying to use local production to minimize the effect of EU tariffs.

The article doesn’t say it, but probably a combination of:

Low risk of strikes

Relatively low cost of labor

Availability of skilled employees

My guess is that this means that if they are going to produce in europe, they might settle down in slovakia, czech republic or poland.
