This is a milestone that underscores the company's rapid expansion since entering China's new-energy vehicle market.

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Li Auto announced on December 5 that its total vehicle deliveries have surpassed 1.5 million units, a milestone that underscores the company's rapid expansion since entering China's new-energy vehicle market. The achievement highlights how the brand has moved from an emerging NEV player to one operating at sizable national scale.

Company data shows that Li Auto's extended-range electric SUVs remain the backbone of its success. More than 1.4 million of the brand's total deliveries came from this product line alone. Together, these vehicles have logged 54.5 billion kilometers on the road, including 35 billion kilometers driven in battery-power-only mode and another 19.5 billion kilometers powered by fuel-generated electricity. The figures reflect the scale at which Li Auto's range-extended technology has been adopted across China.

A rapidly expanding charging infrastructure has reinforced the company's product strategy. Li Auto now operates 20,159 fast-charging piles across 3,636 stations in 279 Chinese cities, creating a network designed to link major highway corridors while saturating key urban hubs. Combined with the range-extended powertrain—which effectively eliminates long-distance range anxiety—the charging network provides a dual-layer energy solution aimed at improving real-world usability for customers.

Li Auto entered the market with a single range-extended electric SUV but has since evolved into a multi-model brand, riding the popularity of its technology path to achieve swift volume growth within just a few years. Crossing the 1.5-million-unit-delivery threshold signals the culmination of its first phase of scale expansion. As China's competitive landscape intensifies and EV technologies diversify, the company's next moves—both in product strategy and technical direction—will remain closely watched by the industry.
