China’s smartphone as well as IoT device maker Xiaomi is entering the EV industry and a new market in which it has not operated before. The company has raised the bar of the margin it wants to deliver EVs in the near future, thereby revealing the extent of confidence it has in offering competition in the upturning sector.

Rising demand fuels optimism.

The move by Xiaomi is due to increasing demand for electric cars within the firm. It joined the EV race with the first model scheduled to be launched in 2024. There are indications that pre-order signals are high in the EV market or especially in the Chinese market. Recently, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun indicated that this demand is actually being included in the initial production plan, which has been expanded.

What Sets Xiaomi Apart?

It is for these reasons that Xiaomi is well positioned to penetrate and compete in the new market of production of electric vehicles, as it has accumulated a lot of knowledge in the creation of smart technology and IoT systems. The company intends to connect the EVs to a range of Xiaomi smart gadgets to give the buyers an epic, intelligent riding experience.

The vehicles to be produced by Xiaomi are likely to have high self-driving capabilities, inclusive of artificial intelligence, and an interface similar to its smartphone environment.

Investments Pay Off

Xiaomi has a skin in the game with its EV division, in which it plans to invest $10 billion in the next ten years. It has already built the most modern production line and is in the process of working with many vendors whom they partnered with for efficient production. This sort of aggressive approach seems to be working, with analysts expecting this start-up to begin strongly when it enters its EV business.

What’s Next?

With Xiaomi’s rapid scaling up of its EV manufacturing strategy, all attention is focused on the company’s next model. The extent to which this company will fulfill its commitments in satisfying various customers’ needs will dictate whether it will have its fair share of the EV market. Strong consumers interest and demand on innovative products make Xiaomi as the new aggressive player that can give a tough competition in electric mobility markets.
