Xiang Li, chairman and chief executive officer of Li Auto, said at the time that the company “has captured nearly 20% market share in the RMB300,000 to RMB500,000 SUV market in China” and that it will begin to deliver the Li L7 Air and Li L8 Air in April.

Li is also planning to build more than 3,000 supercharging stations across China by 2025, which would cover 90% of the country’s major cities and highways.
