Imagine this: Li Auto, the Chinese automaker known for its extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs), has just hit a huge milestone! They’ve delivered their one-million-and-fifth-hundred-thousandth car to happy customers around the world.
Key Takeaways
- Li Auto’s cumulative deliveries reached 1.5 million vehicles in December 2025, just over a year after hitting one million cars delivered.
- The company saw an 18.08 percent drop in sales from January to November this year compared to the same period last year.
- Li Auto’s EREVs have driven more than 35 billion kilometers on pure electric power alone since their launch, showcasing impressive efficiency and range.
In July 2015, Li Auto started with a dream. By October 2018, they launched the Li One, which was just the beginning of what would become an incredible journey for this brand. Fast forward to today, and it’s clear that Li Auto has made waves in China’s electric vehicle market.
But here’s where things get interesting: despite hitting such a big milestone, sales have slowed down recently. In November 2025 alone, deliveries were down by over 31 percent compared to the same month last year. That’s not great news for any company trying to grow and stay competitive.
Li Auto isn’t just sticking with EREVs though; they’ve also made a big push into battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in recent years. In March of this year, Li Mega MPV became their first pure BEV model, followed by the Li i8 and Li i6 later that same year.
So what does all this mean for Li Auto’s future? Well, they’re hoping to ramp up production on one of their latest models, the Li i6. By early next year, they want it rolling off the assembly line at a rate of 20,000 units per month.
