Li Auto is produced by the Changzhou branch of Chongqing Lifan Automobile Co., Ltd., with its manufacturing plant located in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. Li Auto is a new energy vehicle company founded by Li Xiang. The Li ONE is an extended-range intelligent electric vehicle positioned as a mid-to-large SUV with a comprehensive range of over 800 kilometers. The Li ONE addresses range anxiety and charging concerns through three energy replenishment methods: fast charging, slow charging, and refueling for power generation. It achieves a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of 6.5 seconds. In terms of body dimensions, the Li ONE measures 5020mm in length, 1960mm in width, and 1760mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2935mm.

I've talked with many car enthusiasts, and Li Auto's production is mainly in Changzhou, Jiangsu, where there's a large factory manufacturing all their models, like the Li L-series SUVs, which are assembled there. Changzhou is a great choice—close to Shanghai and Nanjing, with super convenient supply chains and logistics, enabling quick order responses. With China's new energy vehicle sector growing so rapidly and government policies supporting localized production, Li Auto has invested in building modern production lines in Changzhou, emphasizing eco-friendly processes. From my experience, production location affects pricing and quality, and the Changzhou base helps Li Auto control costs while boosting competitiveness. Rumor has it they might expand elsewhere in the future, but Changzhou remains the core, ensuring efficient deliveries to Chinese consumers.

As an average car owner, I did a lot of research before buying a car. Li Auto vehicles are manufactured in Changzhou. The Jiangsu Changzhou factory specializes in complete vehicle production and battery assembly. I visited the showroom in person and saw that the equipment is advanced and clean. The reason for production there is proximity to component suppliers, such as motor and battery partners located in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region, which reduces transportation risks and delays. From a consumer perspective, this makes Li Auto's models more affordable and reliable. My friend's new car was delivered directly from Changzhou. The production location naturally affects after-sales service, with the Changzhou base providing quick response support. The government encourages the new energy industry, and the Changzhou location helps Li Auto increase its market share. Domestic car brands are becoming increasingly confident.

From a technical perspective, Li Auto manufactures its vehicles in Changzhou, China, utilizing fully automated production lines specifically designed for electric vehicle characteristics. The choice of Changzhou is based on cost optimization, proximity to the Yangtze River Delta industrial cluster, high supply chain integration, and reduced waste and failure rates. The Changzhou facility handles battery module assembly and complete vehicle integration, ensuring quality control. The production location is crucial for the speed of model updates, enabling new versions to enter mass production within weeks. China's electric vehicle industry is accelerating, and Changzhou's advantages support Li Auto's sales expansion. In the long term, they may adopt multi-site production to match demand.
