XPeng, Xiaomi & Leapmotor crossed 1M BEVs sold in China in 2025 somewhere this month.
For reference, that’s half the total BEV fleet of Germany, the biggest electric fleet of Europe.
Both XPeng & Leapmotor are already selling in Europe, Xiaomi will join the fun in 2027.

Sussan Ley has reasserted her position as Liberal leader, although moderates in the party are worried she may cave in to extreme rhetoric on immigration.

For a very long time I was a big fan of LXD.
When Stéphane Graber left Canonical & an LXD fork became Incus, I sat back & watched.
Now I'd be surprised if Google don't move to Incus in place of LXD in Chromebooks, because it's just better.
Here's some context on it all;
