In November last year, Xiaomi agreed to a contract with the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Area Management Committee to build the headquarters of its auto business. This manufacturing facility will have an annual production capacity of 300,000 units, claimed the tech giant turning automaker.

The report claims that the design of Xiaomi’s first EV was led by Shanghai HVST Automobile Design, the same company behind the WM Motor Maven Concept. After the debut, Xiaomi’s engineering prototype is slated to undergo a host of tests, including cold winter tests.

It is not clear what body style will be adopted by Xiaomi’s first electric car, but the company is thought to be working on at least four different models. Also, it is not sure if the production model of the EV will carry over the design of the concept model.
