Li Xiang, CEO of Li Auto, stated that automotive manufacturers should invest in deep research into battery core technologies. He believes this approach benefits both the industry and end consumers by fostering innovation beyond simple scale-based competition.
According to the CEO, the industry requires a dual-track development model. This involves both specialized battery suppliers who understand product needs and vehicle manufacturers who possess deep technical expertise in battery systems. Relying solely on one side limits progress in performance, quality, and safety.
Li Auto aims to position itself as a vehicle manufacturer with comprehensive battery knowledge. The company intends to collaborate with battery suppliers to address long-standing technical challenges in the electric vehicle sector.
The company has scheduled its Power Day electric technology event for October 20 at 19:30. During this presentation, Li Auto plans to disclose its latest advancements in electric vehicle technology.
