Smartphone maker Xiaomi is expected to start mass-producing its own electric vehicles starting in 2024.
As Reuters reports, Xiaomi has selected the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone to construct a new manufacturing plant which will eventually produce 300,000 vehicles a year. The site will also be home to the company's EV headquarters, sales, and research offices.
Xiaomi's plans have been confirmed via WeChat by the government-backed economic development agency Beijing E-Town. The manufacturing plant is expected to be ready for mass production in 2024, according to Xiaomi's Chief Executive Lei Jun, and the company has committed $10 billion of investment for its EV business over the next decade.
