Founded in July 2015, Li Auto is one of the major extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) players in China.
Its first model, the Li One EREV, was released in October 2018 and began deliveries in December 2019.
The Li One has now been discontinued and Li Auto currently sells mainly L-series EREVs, including the Li L6, Li L7, Li L8, and Li L9.
The company's first BEV, the Li Mega MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), went on sale on March 1, but its weak performance has made a limited contribution to sales.
