Li Auto announced on September 15 the ordering and delivery arrangements for the all-new Li Auto i9 Home.

If not canceled, the order is automatically locked and the deposit is non-refundable. First deliveries will feature CATL 5C ternary lithium batteries, and from the end of October all will switch to Li Auto's self-developed 5C ternary lithium batteries. Deliveries this week will follow the order in which orders were locked. The floating table board can be selected as an option or purchased through after-sales in November, and is not compatible with the new-generation MEGA. Pricing and the production capacity of the self-developed battery have not been announced.
