Xiaomi EV said it has entered into partnerships with Nio, Xpeng, and Li Auto on charging network. This comes after 14 brands announced access to Nio's charging network.
Xiaomi EV, the car-making arm of Chinese smartphone giant Xiaomi (HKG: 1810, OTCMKTS: XIACY), is the latest electric vehicle (EV) brand to plug into Nio's charging network.
Xiaomi EV has partnered with Nio, Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV), and Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI) on charging network, it announced today on Weibo.
The first brands to enter into partnerships with Xiaomi EV on charging also include charging facility operators like Towatt, Xiaoju, YKC, and Sunnic, it said, adding that more will follow.
Xiaomi EV mentioned these partnerships while announcing the new features of the 1.4.5 OTA system update for the Xiaomi SU7 today, without providing more details.
Xiaomi officially launched the SU7 electric sedan -- its first EV model -- on March 28 and began deliveries in April.
On November 18, Xiaomi EV said it achieved its goal of delivering 100,000 vehicles in 2024 ahead of schedule and announced a new 2024 target of 130,000 units.
On December 9, Xiaomi EV announced that it named its second model the YU7. On the same day, a regulatory filing leaked the core specifications of the SUV (sport utility vehicle).
Founded in 2021, Xiaomi EV is the latecomer among China's major EV makers. As of now, it has not started building its own charging facilities.
Nio, Xpeng, and Li Auto are among the earliest of China's new car makers and have built their own charging networks.
Nio has the widest coverage of charging facilities among China's homegrown carmakers. As of today, it has 2,527 supercharging stations in China offering 11,657 chargers, and 1,671 destination charging stations offering 13,007 chargers, according to data compiled by CnEVPost.
Nio's signature battery swap stations now number 2,855 in China, 923 of which are located along highways.
Earlier this year, 14 brands including Chery, Dongfeng M-Hero, Huawei HIMA, FAW Hongqi, GAC Energy, and Avatr have announced access to Nio's charging network, according to CnEVPost's monitoring.
Xpeng announced earlier this month that as of December 12, it had 1,790 charging stations in China, offering 9,070 charging piles across 420 cities.
As of today, Li Auto has 1,344 supercharging stations in China, offering 2,821 charging piles, according to data compiled by CnEVPost.
In March, Li Auto said it was aiming to have more than 2,000 supercharging stations by the end of 2024. It now appears that goal will be difficult to achieve.
