Li Auto's cumulative deliveries surpass 1.5 million units
Li Auto announced that its cumulative vehicle deliveries exceeded 1.5 million units, marking another milestone for the company as it continues to scale its presence in China's premium NEV segment.
According to Li Auto, its range-extended SUVs remain the backbone of its sales, with more than 1.4 million units delivered to date. Combined, these vehicles have logged 54.5 billion kilometers on the road — about two-thirds of them under electric power alone and the remainder using gasoline to support the range-extension system.
Li Auto has also stepped up investment in charging infrastructure. The company says it now operates 20,159 fast-charging piles across 3,636 stations in 279 cities, creating a network that spans major highway corridors and urban centers nationwide.
RoboSense posts record LiDAR shipments in November
RoboSense reported that it shipped over 150,000 LiDAR units in November, setting an industry record and extending the strong growth it saw in October. The performance builds on the 120,000 units delivered the previous month and highlights the company's accelerating global traction in both automotive and robotics markets.
RoboSense said its EM-series sensors continue to gain momentum in OEM programs, securing design wins from 13 automakers — including SAIC Audi, IM Motors, U.S. EV makers, and leading European joint-venture brands — covering 56 vehicle models. Its EM4+E1 sensor suite has also been selected for Didi Autonomous Driving's next-generation robotaxi fleet.
The robotics segment is emerging as RoboSense's second major growth engine. In the third quarter alone, LiDAR shipments to robotics customers jumped to 35,500 units — almost four times higher than a year earlier.
ONVO outlines plan to double battery inventory at swap stations nationwide
ONVO has unveiled a nationwide initiative to double the number of battery packs deployed across its battery-swap network. The company says it will add more than 8,000 new packs to the network, with completion targeted for mid-January.
Once the deployment is finished, the number of available packs will more than double, helping the network absorb peak Spring Festival travel demand and improving long-term service capacity for a fast-growing user base.
ONVO began adding batteries in November and has already installed more than 800 units. The company said the push will deliver lasting benefits for both existing and new customers while supporting the brand's organic expansion.
Deployment will be weighted toward northern regions in China — where winter temperatures increase demand for high-capacity packs — and will align with forthcoming incentives allowing users to upgrade to 85kWh batteries at reduced cost.
As of December 5 this year, ONVO's official data shows 2,252 swap stations nationwide — including 657 along expressways — with total swap operations exceeding 93.6 million.
