Xiaomi said on Tuesday that it had sacked three employees for “spreading rumors” about plans for its electric vehicle business, as the company also said it was planning legal action over photos of its first car model leaked online by two media outlets. For months, multiple reports have circulated on Chinese social media featuring unauthorized confidential information about the smartphone maker’s EV business.

Why it matters: The news comes as Xiaomi, known for its low-cost pricing advantage in the smartphone market, has captured growing attention from Chinese netizens due to speculation of an imminent launch of its inaugural EV model, potentially heightening competition in the already low-margin sector. 

Details: The three employees were found by the company to have spread inaccurate information without permission during conferences hosted by brokerages and investment firms, severely misleading the markets and disrupting operations at Xiaomi’s EV division, the company said in a post on the Chinese Twitter-like platform Weibo. 

  • Xiaomi is taking legal action against the trio, who have been dismissed for breaching the company’s code of conduct. 
  • In addition, the smartphone maker is taking legal measures against two Chinese media outlets over allegations that their employees leaked images of its upcoming EV and violated their non-disclosure agreements with Xiaomi. 
  • The Beijing-headquartered tech giant said it will continue to take action to ascertain liability for the alleged wrongdoings, including leaks and rumor-spreading. 

Context: A research note recently circulated on the Chinese internet and obtained by financial news agency Jiemian published what it said was “key information” regarding Xiaomi’s first EV, naming some of the suppliers for components such as the head-up display. 

  • Xiaomi is also rumored to be set to debut the car at a press conference on Dec. 28, an influencer with the handle “Dianwankeji” wrote earlier this month on social e-commerce app Xiaohongshu. The company later said (in Chinese) that it has not decided yet on the event date.
  • On Nov. 15, images of Xiaomi’s first consumer car along with key specifications were posted online for public review, as required by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, TechNode has reported. 
  • More information revealed by China’s industry ministry last week showed that the premium version of the SU7 sedan will have a driving range of 800 kilometers, powered by a 101 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery pack sourced from CATL.
