Our 2024 launches will kick off in March with the official release and commencement of deliveries of our high-tech flagship family MPV, Li MEGA, alongside the rollout of the 2024 Li L7, Li L8, and Li L9. Furthermore, we will continue to increase our investment in research and development and elevate our technical capabilities in autonomous driving, smart space, and smart electrification. A comprehensive upgrade of our sales and servicing network is also underway, with an aim of establishing 800 retail stores and over 500 Li Auto-authorized body and paint shops by the end of 2024. Reinforced by our diverse product lineup, together with the strength of our products and enhanced synergies across our production, supply chain, and sales and servicing network, we will challenge ourselves with a target of new high of 800,000 annual deliveries and a goal towards the best-selling premium auto brand in China.

Throughout this period, we are pleased to completely waive electricity and charging service fees for Li Auto users at these super charging stations. We hope this helps ensure a convenient and carefree journey for our users, allowing them to fully relish the joyous moments of family reunion.”
