Xiaomi leverages its charging infrastructure to tap into the established ecosystem of three pioneering Chinese electric vehicle (NEV) startups: Nio, Xpeng, and Li Auto. As a result, Xiaomi’s electric vehicle division has successfully expanded its charging network by more than 36,500 charging stations. The scarcity of chargers no longer poses a significant concern for Xiaomi enthusiasts.
Xiaomi’s electric vehicle arm has announced a partnership with NIO, XPeng, and Li Auto to collaborate on the development of a charging network. Three of China’s longest-standing new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturers include these corporations. In China, the iconic trio of Wang Wei (), Xiao Li (), and Li Xiao () is affectionately referred to as “Wei-Xiao-Li” in Mandarin. Known for being among the primary electric vehicle (NEV) producers in the Central Kingdom.
As the demand for on-the-go energy continues to surge, companies are relentlessly innovating and expanding their charging infrastructure networks. Among the companies listed, NIO stands out as a leader with an impressive total of 2,527 rapid charging points and 11,657 charging piles. The company also manages a network of 1,671 destination charging stations, featuring a total of 13,007 individual charging points. Prior to Nio’s establishment, several Chinese brands, including Chery, GAC, Acura, Ji Yue, HIMA, Hongqi, and M-Hero, had already integrated with Nio’s charging network.
XPeng boasts a comprehensive network of 1,790 charging stations across China, equipped with 9,070 individual piles, further solidifying its commitment to electric vehicle adoption and user convenience. As of now, And Li Auto provides access to a network of 1,344 charging stations, comprising 2,821 charging piles. Xiaomi’s impressive feat: without actually building a single charger, the company added an astonishing 36,555 charging piles to its network in a single day. We’ve been reminded that Xiaomi hasn’t disclosed any intentions to establish a proprietary charging network. As a substitute, it was determined to affiliate itself with current leaders.
Xiaomi has collaborated with various charging station operators, including Sunnic, YKC, Towatt, and Xiaoju. Here are a few ways that companies are making mobile phone charging easier:

Xiaomi currently offers a solitary model, the Xiaomi SU7 electric sedan. The company initiated gross sales in March 2024. According to China’s EV DataTracker, Xiaomi acquired more than 113,000 electric vehicles within a span of nine months. What is the anticipated total revenue from vehicle sales for the year 2024, targeted at 130,000 units? The price range for the Xiaomi SU7 is 215,900-299,900 yuan, equivalent to approximately 29,600-41,100 USD. Despite its efforts, Xiaomi still incurs a significant loss of approximately 38,000 yuan (or $5,250 USD) for each car sold. In summer 2025, Xiaomi is set to unveil its latest innovation, the YU7 electric crossover, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s pursuit of technological excellence.
