Eight years ago, Lei Jun purchased his first Tesla. Last Wednesday, speaking with a slightly husky voice because he had a cold, Lei said that Xiaomi is about to enter the electric vehicle business. He called it "the last major entrepreneurship project" of his life.The announcement cut through a series of leaks and denials from the past few months. Before this point, Lei himself had a hard time figuring out whether Xiaomi should be part of this highly competitive industry, with startups like Nio, Xpeng gaining heat, and conglomerates like Baidu and Evengrande already making headway.

Jakarta is one of the smoggiest cities in the world. Roads and highways are normally clogged with motorbike taxis, tour buses, delivery trucks, private cars and other vehicles that are pumping out exhaust from their tailpipes as they sit idle during traffic jams. But changes are coming. Ride-hailing firms in Indonesia have been incrementally replacing their fleets with electric vehicles in the past two years. It's a move that is good for the environment. More fundamentally, it may even be a boon for these companies' bottom lines.
