Tips

culture

李想 dropped out of high school and started autohome.com (汽车之家) before founding 理想汽车 in 2015. The company name is a pun: 理想 means 'ideal' and is built from his surname + 想. Together with Nio (蔚来) and XPeng (小鹏), it forms the 'new forces' trio (造车新势力) of Chinese EV startups.

memory

李想 sounds identical to 理想 ('ideal, aspiration') - an entrepreneur whose name literally means 'ambition'.
