Xiaomi Car Delivers 100,000 Units, Aims for130,000 by Year’s End: A Challengingbut Confident Push
By [Your Name], Senior Automotive Journalist
Xiaomi’s electric vehicle (EV) division has announced the delivery of its100,000th vehicle, a significant milestone achieved in just 230 days—a record for a new Chinese EV manufacturer.This impressive feat, however, is just the prelude to a more ambitious goal: reaching 130,000 deliveries by the end of the year. With less than a month and a half remaining, this translates to achallenging target of 30,000 additional deliveries. In a recent Q&A session, Xiaomi expressed unwavering confidence in achieving this ambitious target.
The company attributes its rapid growth to continuous improvements in its production line capacity andnationwide sales and service network. This confidence is underpinned by the recent rollout of the Xiaomi SU7, which has garnered positive feedback regarding its range and technological features.
Addressing Key Consumer Concerns:
The Q&A session also addressed several key consumer concerns regarding the SU7:
-
Range Anxiety:The SU7 offers two range display modes: CLTC (China Light-duty Vehicle Test Cycle) range and estimated range. The estimated range incorporates factors like temperature and driving style, providing a more accurate prediction, especially under extreme conditions (high/low temperatures, aggressive driving). Users can easily switch between these modes viathe in-car settings. The SU7 offers official ranges of 700km, 830km, and 800km across its three configurations.
-
Low-Temperature Battery Performance: Like all vehicles, the SU7’s 12V battery can be affectedby prolonged periods of inactivity in low temperatures. However, Xiaomi has implemented several intelligent features to mitigate this issue. The SU7 uses a lithium-ion 12V battery, superior to traditional lead-acid batteries in cold weather. Furthermore, an intelligent Battery Management System (BMS) incorporates smart charging andsmart power saving functionalities. Smart charging automatically replenishes the 12V battery from the high-voltage battery when its charge falls below a certain threshold. Smart power saving disconnects the power circuit when the high-voltage battery reaches a critical low level, preventing complete discharge and ensuring the vehicle remains unlockable and startable. The system also notifies the user via the Xiaomi car app.
Analysis and Outlook:
Xiaomi’s aggressive expansion into the EV market is a bold strategy, and the 100,000-unit milestone is a testament to its execution capabilities. The ambitioustarget of 130,000 units by year’s end, however, presents a significant challenge. Success will hinge on maintaining production efficiency, ensuring a smooth supply chain, and effectively managing the nationwide sales and after-sales service network. The company’s confidence suggests a strong belief in itsoperational readiness. The success or failure of this ambitious push will be a key indicator of Xiaomi’s long-term viability in the increasingly competitive EV landscape.
