Description: LI Li Auto

Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ: LI) is a Chinese premium smart-electric-vehicle manufacturer founded in 2015 and headquartered in Beijing. The firm designs, develops, manufactures, and sells multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) and sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) under a single brand, and it provides sales, after-sales, technology development, and corporate management services through both online and offline channels. The company was formerly known as Leading Ideal Inc. before rebranding to Li Auto in July 2020.

As of FY 2023, Li Auto delivered roughly 91 k vehicles, generating CNY 33.5 bn in revenue and achieving an adjusted EBITDA margin of about 12 %, reflecting the firm’s focus on higher-priced, range-extended EVs. The company benefits from China’s continued NEV (new-energy-vehicle) subsidy regime, which, despite gradual phase-outs, still supports demand for premium models, and from a broader sector trend of accelerating battery cost declines-estimated at a 13 % YoY reduction in 2023-that improve vehicle economics. Competitive pressure from BYD, Nio, and Tesla’s Shanghai operations remains a key risk factor for market share growth.
