Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi has entered the electric vehicle (EV) market by launching its first EV and accepting orders. At the launch event, Xiaomi's CEO Lei Jun announced that the standard SU7 model will be priced at 215,900 yuan ($29,872; £23,663), while the Max version will cost 299,900 yuan. The company received more than 50,000 orders within the first 27 minutes of sales. Xiaomi's entry into the EV market comes amid a slowdown in sales growth globally, resulting in a price war.
