Company Report

Li Auto's Strong PHEV Portfolio Is Powering Near-Term Momentum

Li Auto is a leading new energy vehicle, or NEV, manufacturer in China, producing plug-in hybrid electric sport utility vehicles, or SUVs, for family car use. Li Auto put a lot of effort into its range-extension powertrain, which has become a key selling point for its value-for-money vehicles. As it uses less battery, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, or PHEVs, offer significant price advantages compared with battery electric vehicles, or BEVs.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Li Auto’s strong product capacity, targeting family car users and focusing on the mid- to large-size SUV segment, will ensure the success of its future models, including but not limited to extended range electric vehicles, or EREVs.

Bears

Li Auto’s range-extension vehicles will face increasing pressure as the industry moves to pure electric models, while the company lacks track record in pure electric cars.
