Xiaomi has business in any sector, from culinary to technological and therefore could not miss that of luxury super sports cars.
Recently the start-up Xpeng Motors, called the Chinese Tesla, has raised investments for 400 million dollars, which will allow it to increase the production of new models and gain a bigger share of the Chinese electric vehicle market, a sector that is experiencing a rapid growth. Xiaomi is of course one of the partner companies that funded the project: a flair for a deal that will definitely bring great results considering that China is booming for electric cars, thanks also to the support of the government, which has provided subsidies to companies that produce this type of vehicle. But the news of Xiaomi's participation in the Xpeng Motors project is news because comes at a time when the government is cutting those subsidies in order to phase them out.
