Li Auto

Another Chinese based EV maker, Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ:LI) is growing at fast speed and keeping pace with its compatriots Nio and Xpeng. The Company reported revenue of US$636 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. During Q1 2021, Li Auto anticipates providing automobiles between 10, 500 to 11, 500, which demonstrates a fall in numbers compared to quarter ending December 2020.
