Xiaomi Launches New Subsidiary to Manufacture EV Batteries and Motors

Xiaomi is deepening its commitment to electric vehicles by establishing a dedicated subsidiary focused on producing batteries and electric motors. The move signals a strategic push to bring core EV components in-house, reducing reliance on external suppliers.

While details remain limited, the new entity is expected to support Xiaomi’s growing EV ambitions, starting with the SU7 sedan. By controlling battery and motor production, the company aims to streamline costs and accelerate development cycles.

This step reflects a broader trend among tech entrants in the auto industry: vertical integration as a competitive edge. Xiaomi’s expansion into hardware manufacturing could position it as a more self-sufficient player in the EV race.
