Tesla is the world’s largest maker of pure electric cars again after outselling its closest rival, BYD, during the first quarter of this year, according to data published by the companies.
Li Auto plans to give its 20,000 employees annual bonuses of up to eight months’ pay for exceeding the 300,000-unit sales target last year. The carmaker has set a goal of delivering 800,000 units this year.
The Shenzhen-based carmaker’s global fourth-quarter deliveries rose 22 per cent from the previous quarter, surpassing Tesla’s total by about 41,000 EVs.
