Li ONE

Li Auto's 20 percent market share corresponds to 1.6 million units of sales.

Li Auto announced today that its cumulative deliveries exceeded 40,000 units as of February 18, 14.5 months after Li ONE opened for delivery on December 4, 2019.

Chinese smartphone maker Smartisan founder Luo Yonghao gave away 10 iPhone 12s in a Weibo lottery on February 10 in support of Chinese electric car company Li Auto.

From January 1, 2023, Shanghai will no longer issue free special license plates to individual users as well as corporate users who purchase plug-in hybrid (including extended-range) vehicles.

Li ONE, the only model from Li Auto, received the highest rating in the latest China New Car Assessment Program (C-NCAP) on February 8, 2021.

"Generally speaking, people who say Li Auto and Nio are bad are either those who have never touched their real cars or those who can't afford them. And then of course there are those who have taken sponsorship from their competitors," Luo said.

Li Auto started to push a V2.0.30 software update to Li ONE owners from February 4, adding new features including Smart Follow.

Li Auto is back in the spotlight again after a video showing a moving Li ONE suddenly losing control went viral among Chinese Internet users.

Li Auto in January delivered 5,379 units of the Li ONE, its only model, up 355.8 percent year-on-year but was down 12% from December's 6,126 units.

Chinese EV maker Li Auto's only model, the Li ONE, is positioned as a comfortable family car, but one Chinese geek has transformed it into a "tank".
