The facility has nearly 100 EV models on display, including top-sellers such as the Tesla Model 3, Li Auto’s L7, and the Aito M7, all powered by CATL’s lithium-ion batteries. It does not serve as a sales location but focuses on brand building and customer education. As Vice President Li Ping emphasized to participants at the site’s opening ceremony, CATL does not make or sell cars, Caixin reported (in Chinese). Meanwhile, the battery giant is establishing an independent after-sales service network to provide personal buyers with maintenance and repairs for EV batteries. Correction: An earlier version of the article miscalculated the floor area of CATL’s first store which is 13,800 square meters (148,542 square feet), rather than 13,800 square kilometers (5,328 square miles) as mentioned.
