Xiaomi<\/a> might be best known for smartphones, but its electric vehicle (EV) ambitions are getting real. The company has now set its sights on going global by 2027<\/strong>, following the success of its first electric car, the SU7, in China<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xiaomi launched the SU7<\/strong> in March 2024, with prices starting at 215,900 yuan ($29,636)<\/strong>. Competing directly with Tesla, it quickly gained traction, delivering 135,000 units in just eight months after receiving over 248,000 orders. That\u2019s a big deal\u2014hitting over 10,000 monthly deliveries is a key benchmark in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Ford CEO Jim Farley<\/strong> couldn\u2019t ignore Xiaomi\u2019s new car. Speaking on The Fully Charged Podcast<\/em>, he admitted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“I don’t like talking about the competition so much, but I drive the Xiaomi. We flew one from Shanghai to Chicago, and I’ve been driving it for six months now, and I don’t want to give it up.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If that\u2019s not a strong endorsement, what is?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At MWC Barcelona 2025<\/strong>, Xiaomi president Lu Weibing confirmed that the company has already started evaluating international markets, especially Europe. His goal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI hope that we can officially start tapping foreign markets in 2027.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But Xiaomi isn\u2019t rushing things. Lu made it clear that getting a strong foothold in China comes first, explaining:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“If a Chinese carmaker can\u2019t secure a good position in the domestic market, it will struggle to expand overseas.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And Xiaomi isn\u2019t slowing down. The company recently launched the premium SU7 Ultra\u2014priced at 529,900 yuan ($73,000)\u2014and is aiming to sell 10,000 units of it. Meanwhile, CEO Lei Jun has predicted that Xiaomi will deliver over 300,000 EVs in 2025, with a new YU7 SUV expected to debut later this year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China\u2019s EV Boom\u2014and the Roadblocks Ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

China dominates the global EV market, with 10.9 million electric and plug-in hybrid cars sold in 2024, a 40.7% increase over the previous year, according to the China Passenger Car Association. But there are still challenges ahead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Too many factories, not enough demand:<\/strong>\u00a0Only\u00a0half of China\u2019s EV production facilities are running at full capacity<\/strong>\u00a0because companies have expanded so quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • High tariffs on exports:<\/strong>\u00a0Chinese EVs face\u00a017\u201335.3% import duties in the EU<\/strong>\u00a0and an even steeper\u00a0100% tariff in the US<\/strong>, making global expansion tricky.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Profitability struggles:<\/strong>\u00a0While big names like\u00a0BYD, Li Auto, and Aito<\/strong>\u00a0are turning a profit,\u00a0many other Chinese EV brands are still losing money<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Xiaomi has momentum on its side, but it still has hurdles to clear before it can go global. Can it navigate tariffs, regulations, and competition from legacy automakers? Time will tell. But with a strong start in China, industry recognition, and a rapidly growing EV lineup, Xiaomi is shaping up to be a major player in the global EV market by 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
