Phone Giant Xiaomi Delivers 28,000 EVs in May

Xiaomi, a company mostly known for its smartphones, is now growing fast in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. In May 2025, the company reported that it delivered more than 28,000 electric cars. This marks the eighth month in a row that Xiaomi’s monthly EV sales have passed the 20,000 mark.

Xiaomi’s Rapid EV Growth

Although Xiaomi is still new in the electric vehicle world, it is moving quickly. Its first EV model, the SU7, is already attracting a lot of interest across China. The car is available in different versions, including Standard, Pro, and Max. In February 2025, Xiaomi launched a more advanced model called the SU7 Ultra, which costs about $73,550. Customers began receiving this version in March.

Besides strong sales, Xiaomi is also expanding its presence across China. In May, it opened 29 new showrooms, raising the total number to 298 across 82 cities. The company also added more service centers, now available in 88 cities, to give customers better support and easier access to after-sales services.

A New SUV on the Way

Xiaomi recently revealed a new electric SUV named the YU7. This announcement was made in May 2025, and the vehicle is now in the final stages before full production. It is expected to officially launch in July. Reports suggest that the YU7 might be able to travel further than Tesla’s Model Y, and it may also be priced more competitively.

Presenting at the Shenzhen Auto Show

Xiaomi is also showing its EV strength by participating in the 2025 Shenzhen Auto Show, which runs from May 31 to June 8. The company is showcasing both the SU7 and the new YU7 at the event, giving people a chance to see the cars in person.

Facing Strong Competition

The EV market in China is highly competitive. Alongside Xiaomi, other local companies are also seeing strong sales. For instance, Leapmotor delivered 45,067 vehicles in May; Li Auto reported 40,856 units sold; and Xpeng hit 33,525 deliveries, continuing a strong streak of monthly sales above 30,000 for seven months straight.

At the same time, well-known names like Tesla and BYD remain big players in the market. Still, Xiaomi’s steady growth shows that it is gaining ground quickly.

By delivering over 28,000 EVs in just one month and introducing new models like the YU7, Xiaomi is proving that it can do more than just make smartphones. Its growing number of showrooms, service centers, and new vehicle models all point to a strong future in the electric car space. If this momentum continues, Xiaomi may soon become a major name in the global EV market.

For foreign companies like Lucid Motors (NASDAQ: LCID) that may be eying the Chinese market, the writing is on the wall. They will have to contend with players like Xiaomi to make headway.
