Electric vehicles and charging infrastructure are not mutually exclusive; rather, they complement each other. This statement was emphasized by Li Auto during a recent event.
On March 29, 2025, at 11:30 AM, Li Auto representatives highlighted the importance of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure at the China Electric Vehicle Conference. They stated that “the compatibility of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure is a very good complement, not a contradiction.” This perspective was shared by Li Auto CEO Li Xiang during a discussion at the event.
Additionally, Li Auto noted that the collaboration between various stakeholders is critical for technological advancements and operational networks. On March 17, the company signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Horizon Robotics to enhance the technological capabilities of their electric vehicle charging networks.
Furthermore, they plan to push for the largest scale of electric vehicle charging service networks, promote national standards for charging technology, and enhance the convenience of electric vehicle usage. Their goal is to create a comprehensive system encompassing “electric vehicle manufacturing, charging services, energy management, and recycling,” which will be systematically developed.
In terms of resources, Horizon Robotics is currently advocating for Li Auto to leverage its capabilities beyond 25 billion yuan in annual revenue, aiming to strengthen collaboration in the industry.
