LeEco Unveils its First Electric Vehicle

You might have heard of LeEco. Smartphones? Budget phones? Fingerprint sensor! Yeah maybe you've found the right one. They unveiled their first electric mainstream model vehicle on Wednesday in Beijing. It' a four door electric sedan in an all-white color. The company had displayed their unique-stylish electric vehicle at the CES Las Vegas in January.

On speculation, turns out that this is being targeted at competition to Tesla's model "S". The car is now called LeSEE where "SEE" means super electronic eco-system plan. In it's single-seat configuration and a limited product that too for Chinese market? Not likely but possible, the price tag will come into question here. Chief executive of LeEco Jia Yueting detailed some of the car's useful features like automatic driving mode which even folds towards the dash when the car is in autopilot mode to give the driver more space. However, the CEO did not reveal the pricing yet and even didn't mentioned any specific information about production.

Faraday future hinted about their first production car to be a premium product with a premium price when their senior vice president for research and product development Nick Sampson at CES said. LeEco also have a partnership with British automaker Aston Martin. However, according to rumors this car would be made in the USA or China or even elsewhere. Absolutely none are ready to hint the pricing on the Chinese firm's now announced electric vehicle.

Global chairman and co-founder of LeEco Ding Lei declined to specify a time frame to begin manufacturing their electric cars but only uttered "the sooner the better". Ding also introduced some of the features where he explained how the car could recognize the gender of the man behind the wheels and display the same to other motorists. He explained about the reason stating that the ecosystem could recognize the status and skills of the driver to help the other motorists tread steadily.
