Currently, the automaker only has the Li ONE for sale, so the cumulative production volume of the model amounted to 100,000, becoming the first single model to achieve the milestone among all products from China’s NEV startups, including NIO and XPeng.

Mr. Shen Yanan, president of Li Auto, said that it only took the company 708 days to realize the production milestone of 100,000 vehicles, indicating that the Li ONE is well received by the market and marking that the company has completed the capability building of the full chain, covering R&D and manufacturing system, sales service system and supply chain system.

According to Li Auto’s product planning, In 2022, it will launch the first model on its X platform, a full-size premium range-extended electric SUV, followed by two range-extended SUVs built on the X platform in 2023. Before the end of this year, it will push the NOA function through OTA.

Li Auto is the third Chinese NEV startup whose cumulative production volume has surpassed 100,000. In April this year, NIO said it had reached the milestone while earlier this month, XPeng also announced the achievement.
