Xiaomi Targets European EV Market with 2027 Showroom Launch
Xiaomi plans to launch its EV business in Europe by 2027, including opening showrooms. Xiaomi will assess the future viability of manufacturing locally but will likely modify an existing model rather than developing a new one specifically for Europe. This move positions Xiaomi alongside other Chinese EV manufacturers competing for market share in Europe amid increasing tariffs on Chinese-made EVs. The company aims to be a top-five global player within 15-20 years, making a local factory a potential necessity.
