Gasgoo Munich- Li Auto President Ma Donghui has addressed plans to supply self-developed components to external customers, according to Gasgoo. Standardized parts like the company's in-house Mach chips and silicon carbide (SiC) modules are open for external sales—a move that would "help amortize R&D costs," Ma said. However, battery packs will not be available due to capacity planning and compatibility constraints.Ma elaborated that chips are compact and highly universal, making it easy for other automakers to adapt them. Battery packs, by contrast, are custom-developed for Li Auto's specific vehicle requirements, with production capacity tied directly to its own assembly lines—conditions that rule out external supply.Image source: Li AutoPublic records show the Mach M100 chip was unveiled in June 2026. Built on a 5nm automotive-grade process, it delivers 1,280 TOPS of single-chip computing power and 273 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It has been integrated into the refreshed Li Auto L9, L8, L6, MEGA, and i9 models starting in the second quarter of 2026.Image source: Li AutoOn the SiC front, Li Auto's self-developed power modules have entered mass production at its Suzhou semiconductor base, serving as a core component of the 800V high-voltage platform. According to 36Kr, the Mach chip business is operated through the wholly owned subsidiary Xinchuangzhihe, while the SiC unit—Sike Semiconductor—is a joint venture between Li Auto and Hunan Sanan. The latter is preparing to bring in external capital, and the company's range-extender systems are also signaling a move toward external supply.
