BEIJING (AP) — Xiaomi, a maker of smart consumer electronics in China, is joining the country’s booming but crowded market for electric cars with a sporty high-tech sedan. The tech company said it would begin accepting orders in China on Thursday night, after founder Lei Jun wrapped up a presentation on the car by announcing the much-awaited price range: 215,900 yuan to 299,900 yuan (about $30,000 to $40,000). Government subsides have helped make China the world’s largest market for electric vehicles and a bevy of new makers are locked in fierce competition. Xiaomi aims to capitalize on its smart technology by connecting its cars with smartphones and home appliances.
