Exhibit 99.1
Li Auto Inc. May 2021 Delivery Update
BEIJING, China, June 2, 2021 — Li Auto Inc. (“Li Auto” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: LI), an innovator in China’s new energy vehicle market, today announced that the Company delivered 4,323 Li ONEs in May 2021, representing a 101.3% year-over-year increase.
“We are pleased to see our 2021 Li ONE, released on May 25, receive very positive feedback and strong recognition from our users demonstrated by the robust order inflow that took the total orders in May to a record high. Deliveries of the 2021 Li ONE, the first vehicle in the world with a full-stack self-developed NOA in a standard configuration, have already started. Given the strong uptake of the 2021 Li ONE since its launch and the continuous expansion of our direct sales and servicing network, we are optimistic that our deliveries in the second quarter will exceed the top end of our guidance range, and keep rising going forward, while the ongoing industry-wide semiconductor shortage continues to generate uncertainties,” said Yanan Shen, co-founder and president of Li Auto.
The Company had 83 retail stores covering 57 cities, and 147 servicing centers and Li Auto-authorized body and paint shops operating in 109 cities as of May 31, 2021.
