PHYSIX OBSERVATION
By giving its first fully electric global model a Paris debut, Li Auto is effectively challenging the established players on their European home turf. Its in-house motor, battery, and chip are all built to global standards, and it has voluntarily submitted to Euro NCAP testing, showing that going overseas is not a trial run. But whether European users accept a Chinese new-energy upstart will still depend on word of mouth and pricing after deliveries begin.
