BEIJING, June 11 – Technology company Xiaomi from China has submitted regulatory documents seeking authorization to manufacture an extended-range electric vehicle as part of its growing automotive portfolio, based on an announcement from the industry ministry released Wednesday.
The proposed vehicle addition requires government approval after a public review process that concludes on June 17.
The technology company, which entered the electric vehicle market recently but has quickly positioned itself as a formidable competitor to established manufacturers like Tesla, presently produces the battery-operated SU7 sedan and YU7 SUV models.
