There have been rumors that Xiaomi will be expanding into the EV market with an A0 class, supermini car named “Mistla”. The rumors were triggered by sightings of Tesla bosses outside Xiaomi offices in Beijing.
Reports say that the smartphone manufacturer will be working in tandem with an already-established Chinese auto maker to produce the vehicle. The car is expected to include an Android entertainment system which would obviously have the trademark MIUI.
